As for discussions, those may be carried out in an improvised way
throughout the conference, but to be most effective they should appear
in the printed schedule, and placed in a time slot in which they

What we can do different next year is to impose some discussion time.
Who is we here? The community? In the UK in 2014 there is already a
set of fringe events, so there is plenty of time and space for
discussion. And everything else.
See you in London

Another very different model that has been suggested many times but nobody

I like Lodewijk's suggestion for a single organising table, but I disagree
with organising the tracks by format. For me the topic was always more
important than whether it was a round table, a presentation or whatever. In
practice some wikimanias like Haifa and I think Buenos Aires will have a
One of the reasons to put certain types of sessions in certain types of
threads would be to accommodate the room setting to be adjusted
accordingly. For a discussion setup, I would really want a round table
setup and definitely not a cinema setup (as happened a few times this year

I don't think plenary sessions would give that much. Au contraire, the best

workgroups and other open discussion forms. But in that case, too, every
session would win much if the participants had at least a chance to

Hi,
I in general liked 2013 wikimania schedule. It would have been better if
workshops are moved to the pre conference days.
