What can be outsourced are things like food / hotels / logistics etc. Its *WIKIPEDIANS* who have to do a whole lot of things from scholarships to programs to PR to finances to editing wiki pages(If you see wikimania's have a wiki for itself) to a whole lot of things which cannot be outsourced. WCI showed us how we were incredibly short of hands in each of these things. For the sake of calling it community conference, things *have* to be done by the *community*. If we dont feel like we have the community, we must be content with what we do and not aim at events which are way out of reach. -1 for any wikimania bid from India till 2014. -- Regards Srikanth.L
