This is really a great and helpful thread! As many times mailing lists threads die a few days after its creation, would be very productive for the WM 2009 organization team to have this ideas compiled, so please add your ideas to the Wikimanía 2009 wiki: http://wikimania2009.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikimania_of_my_dreams -- Juan David Ruiz _______________________________________________ Wikimania-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l
