[Wikimediaau-l] Wikimania 2010?

[Craig Franklin]

On this point Angela, I talked to some of our sponsors and they were 
decidedly lukewarm on the idea of supporting an Australia-only event unless 
attendance was going to be high (I'm talking hundreds of delegates).

I agree that it would be good practice in some aspects, but the inherent 
difference in scale between an Australia-only event and an international 
event means that a lot of the techniques we'd use to successfully hold one 
would not necessarily work for another.
