The bid and the people working on it suggested it. I suppose we can always
create our own website for our information, and show people to the bid on one
of the pages. I was just throwing it out. I didn't expect a negative reaction.

Hi, Mike,
Please clarify that to open a website of the Conference is a request from you,
or Atlanta Bid, or Atlanta Bid's sponsor (which needs to be convinced). Thank
you.

I understand that, however, my main concern is utmost professionalism in
presentation to people we have to convince to help us. To me, linking to a wiki
doesn't exactly have that quality, not 100%. And there's only so much you can
say before they want to see something, and I'm afraid a wiki page does not have
the best statement that it can.

I think it is better to open the Wikimania 2008 website after the host city
get chosen.
Meta is a place to coordinate biddings, but Wikimania website is for the
official use of the event.
Since there will be only one city get chosen as the host, I am afraid that
other bidders' proposals on the same website would confuse people.

We were discussing in our IRC meeting a more professional and easier to
navigate place to present our bid to prospective press and sponsors. Can the
Wikimania 2008 website on Wikimedia be opened for all of us to present our big
aims there instead of having to direct people to different pages on Meta, which
they may not be 100% aware of navigating?
