Hi there Akshay,
I've talked with a few Wikimania folks - and I think there's some interest in this. My impression is our current system is a series of patch jobs done to evolve the original system to our growing needs. A complete rewrite seems fitting, from what I've seen and heard.
I'm curious if you've had a chance to speak with Wikimania folks as well - especially the ops folks doing the web forms and such. I imagine they'd have a wealth of opinions on what has worked and what wasn't worked thus far. I would also be curious what some Hackathon and other event organizers might have to say. Ideally doing a rewrite will include all the various needs (well - as many as reasonably possible..) from these folks so more more patchwork would need to be done in the foreseeable future.
Here's the IRC channel for Wikimania and other contact info: http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Organizing_team
