It seems to me that as the movement grows and matures, it is natural for its core discussion to evolve to more 'meta' topics. Likewise, as the project becomes a more significant player on the world stage, it must carefully reflect on how it relates to its peers; the media, the academy, the

I think the Wikimania this year was well organized, the talks were diverse and the timing was swift, but I agree with Manuel that there seems to be different groups with diverging goals. Perhaps it would make sense to think of Wikimania as an outreach event for people that are not in the
