I third that! However we are entering the field of privacy, because as useful the virtual meetings can be, they might be intrusive if you are in your home and you show your whole house to the world. As long as people are happy about that, then I do not see any problem in increasing the number of meetings having a virtual component in Wikimania.
I wonder if it is possible to organize a virtual conference first using something like Google Hangouts to test if it would work at a bigger scale like wikimania.
