Wikimania 2013, 125 Videos with an average access rate of 12.
Even the video of Jimbo was with 11 calls below the average. Of what
value are you talking about? From a theoretical value?
The polling numbers for 2012 were slightly higher, but even they are
beyond any comprehensible value.

I believe this Wikimania will be different. Our videos will be higher
quality, and livestreamed and uploaded same day by a dedicated team. The
videos will be broadcast by our media partners. We have a larger number of
featured speakers who have their own audiences, that will attract people to
the

My understanding is that this is far from a decided thing. There are still
some massive concerns about your servers rolling over and dying with the

I have a meeting with the venue team to discuss this today :-)

To be honest I'm not completely sure I'm comfortable with that level of
advertising (in fact it makes me very very uncomfortable) even if it works
technically. This isn't TEDand I would hate to see it turn into that
especially given the wide variety in organizers each year.

It isn't TED, but from the get go I've had outreach as a primary goal with
this event, and I've been planning and programming with that in mind. This
doesn't have to set a precedent for future Wikimanias. Technical concerns
aside, what negative outcomes are you imagining?

Sounds good!
But we still have the problem with the question, that there are
different ideas about whether lecturers have to be asked first if they
want to appear as live stream and then to YouTube with their
presentation. And certainly the somewhat strange idea that one should be
Among other issues, pretty much anything in a CentralNotice leads to
someone being very vocally upset with what they see as spam. It's hard to
predict quite how large or vocal that number will be in this case, as we
haven't done it before :-)
(Are you thinking of some kind of specific message -
I feel Wikimania is big enough that we could put a generic “Wikimania is
happening, stream it over here” thing up as a notice without too many
complaints. My concerns would lie in that we’re trying, to the best of my
knowledge, to prevent this becoming an enwiki-focused affair, which in honesty
Well, almost everything we do leads to *someone* being very vocally upset :)
I haven't drafted what it would say yet, but I guess something along the
lines of:

Shame that they will not be multicast.

The way video was handled at previous Wikimanias has not been the
optimum yet (no live streaming, very late upload).
But even 12 accesses represent a substantial increase

Hm, if you're going to advertize it on the centralnotice, maybe I will
reconsider my availability for a live stream (perhaps depending on
specifics).

Seriously, while we have great speakers, I'm not sure all of us are
confident enough for that kind of an outreach, nor would I feel that the
average Wikimania speaker gives enough of a good impression to the average
website visitor.
Ok, Video makes your embarrassing talk somewhat permanent.

* You think it is ok to waste the time of people who travelled thousands
of miles to this conference with a crappy talk (the crappyness of which you
apparently know in advance), but it would be too much of a burden on
someone who spent the effort of a mere mouseclick to view your talk to
If the talk is being exposed actively to a much larger audience, then that
would definitely become a consideration yes. Being online for those looking
for it, feels very different than being pushed on top of one of the top
websites to me. But maybe that is a personal thing.
