The Wikimania meetup from August 4-6th (http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org)
will draw people from all of the Wikimedia projects. It's a chance to meet your
fellow contributors and discuss issues affecting the projects:
* Fair use: should we eradicate fair use, or encourage the fair use of
copyrighted images?
* Voting: impractical and harmful, or a necessity for some discussions?
* Verifiablity: requiring sources for all new information, or
supporting the contribution of first hand information?
* Dealing with trolls: do we ban pov pushers, or encourage their voices
to be heard?
* Dealing with vandals: delaying edits from suspicious users, or finally
inventing the device that allows you to poke people over the internet?
* Content: death to fancruft, or expanding the scope of Wikipedia to cover all
human knowledge?
* Arbitration: the best thing since sliced bread, or a merely adequate online
alternative to a dunk tank?
Register today at wm06reg.wikimedia.org -- only $70 until July 9th for 3 days
of in-depth community discussion, presentations, autographs from and to Jimbo,
and fun.
