All,
I've just seen a rather impressive presentation from the London Wikimania
bid team. I thought it best to let you know that last night there was a
raft of updates to the public bid page at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2014_bids/London, including some
videos, a (draft) budget, and a fundraising strategy.
I think it'd really help if the community took a look through the pages and
thought about potential weaknesses for the bid. At the moment, London looks
likely to win: as a result, we really need to start looking critically *(but
supportively!) *at the bid.
