Thanks for the information; it's quite useful to see these kinds of things.

Two minor questions about the numbers. I don't see an item for 
conference venue rental/fees, which is often a major cost. Was Wikimania 
given free use of the venue? Or is that part of another category, such 
as Logistics? And, I see "support by chapters" listed as 0, but 
<http://wikimania2011.wikimedia.org/> lists 5 chapters as sponsors.
