The idea of a post-mortem is to learn for the

isn't really worth having one if you don't publish the results
for future teams can learn from them.
I just wanted to remind everyone that Wikimania 2009 did create a publicly available
post-mortem. I recommend both th Gdansk and Haifa teams to take a look at it:

Yes, there is that and it is much better than nothing, but I'd like to
see much more detailed post-mortems. That's mostly just the results of
a survey of attendees and some analysis of it and conclusions drawn
from it.
Such a survey is a very useful part of a post-mortem, but it shouldn't
be the basis of the whole thing. There isn't, for example, anything in
there saying whether you managed to stay in budget or not and if not,
why not and by how much you went over. That kind of information would
be extremely useful for people putting together bids (since the things
you overspent on or forgot to budget for are likely to be things
they'll underestimate the cost of, or forget, too).
