[Foundation-l] A question for the Wikimania jury

[Dan Rosenthal]

That carries with it the implied statement that strong bids from such  
places would have been unwelcome from the very start for 2009's  
Wikimania, which is troubling. If that's not the case, please let me  
know. I'm certainly not saying that BA had a weak bid; from what I've  
seen of it, I don't think it was too bad. Were the jury to have  
addressed the concerns regarding the high relative weight that  
location has compared to it's actual level of importance when compared  
to other factors, and still chosen BA on its merits, I'd be OK with  
that; I just feel that those concerns were not addressed.
