This is an important point. It's hard to grow such a team in a new place every year, but if you do, then after X years you will have grown X strong local team of volunteers, ready to take on new challenges and to teach their experience to other teams. This may be a worthy goal. It would be interesting to check previous Wikimanias and to see whether the team that organized them went on as a team. _______________________________________________ Wikimania-l mailing list Wikimania-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l
