Tony1 has made some comments about the 2014 Annual Plan: http://www.wikimedia.org.au/wiki/Proposal_talk:2014_Annual_Plan and I hope we will be hearing more from others! In regard to his comment about WMAU being represented at international events, it's probably worth a broader

Agreed. Also, at least one of the International events: Wikimania, offers support for travel already. But targeting funds for the purposes you outline seems a good idea. Speaking of Wikimania... and linking to the WAJER idea, but ignoring the chinwagging perspective, how about ab annual event
