Great idea!
There should exist also other documentation for similar events. Particularly I know the RMLL (World Meeting of Free Software in various cities of France, every year a different city which candidates with a similar process than Wikimania) has such documentation. For those who read French you can see
and particularly the slides

The Wikimania handbook.... we've talked about it for years. I finally took advantage of a quiet, rainy Saturday afternoon to draft a comprehensive outline and overview:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania/Handbook
But now it needs content :) Please help fill in details. The handbook is meant to be a collection of best practices, document practical information, and also serve as a checklist for future teams. But I also added a "historical" section at the end of each topic so that we can also document the various approaches that teams have taken.
So: if you have ever helped run a Wikimania (or even just attended one!) please help out in building the handbook. Future organizers will thank you.
best, Phoebe
