Also what level of support can we expect from you and
the rest of the board
in a Wikimania bid (Oxford or elsewhere)? WM UK obviously stand to benefit
substantially were we successful (donations, media attention etc.) but for
this to happen we certainly need all the help we could get.
I suspect the thing WMUK can mostly offer at present is the name and
any magic pixie dust powers that might be perceived to have - the
address, "supported by," etc. Which is pretty good really. And a line
to WMF. (The Wikimania judges are, I'm afraid, utterly incorruptible,
but if you need the WMF being fluffy in an appropriately
nonfavouritist way it's feasible to some extent. I think.)
