Thanks Florence, Phoebe. It's always nice to hear we did a good job, it makes us all very proud.
I wanted to ask everyone to contribute to the feedback not only with prise, but also with [constructive] critic. It will help us internally, and also the Wikimania 2010 organisers, to learn from past mistakes. We are also at complete disposition of the Polish team for what they might need, including a self-review we are preparing. We need to work together so that Wikimania will be every year better than the last one! Thanks also to all the attendees; it was wonderful having you with us. Cheers, Mariano Cecowski. --- El jue 3-sep-09, phoebe ayers <[email protected]> escribió: > Indeed, what Florence & everyone > said -- this year's Wikimania was > fantastic.
