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.
I don't know about other Wikimanias, but I guess they also had an internal postmortem. I don't think you can expect an organization to disclose its internal affairs like that, but I'm sure any Wikimania organization will be happy to share its rights and wrongs with any future organizing committee.
That's mostly just the results of a survey of attendees and some analysis of it and conclusions drawn from it.
Actually, the conclusions[1] are drawn not only from the survey but also from personal comments and the internal review (though it might not be so obvious). I suggest you read it in full.
A "How to organize a Wiki-event" document with knowledge taken from "the spirit of pasts Wikimedias" could be a good start point. Perhaps a job for the "Permanent Committe for supporting the organization of Wikimania events" ?
