[Foundation-l] Wikimania 2011 Registration Now Open

[Asaf Bartov]

We thank everyone who congratulated us on opening the reg. site, on and off
the list.  All the credit goes to Harel Cain, a board member in WMIL and
hewp Bureaucrat, who undertook to integrate, document, and improve the
existing registration system.  The new code will of course be made available
to the next Wikimania organizers.

We urge everyone to take advantage of the "early bird" discount, and to
register by end of March.

Cheers,

   Asaf Bartov, on behalf of the Wikimania 2011 team.
