Greetings,
Wikimania is six months away - and in terms of planning - that means
it is right around the corner.
As such, folks involved with programme and Hackathon organizing are
very interested in any ideas that WM developers may have for this
year's Hackathon.
Please contribute them on-wiki -

Or if that is just too much wiki for today - feel free to email me
and I'll make sure it gets posted. :)
Thank you! -greg aka varnent Wikimania 2013 Programme Committee /
geek helping with Hackathon
Thank you!
Before jumping to the Wikimania website, could you share your own
thoughts and lessons learned from last Wikimania Hackathon? Feedback
from any other participants is welcome as well.
URLs with feedback are welcome too! There are the valuable

As an outsider (not for long) the main concerns I see are:
* No local tech contact specifically interested in the Hackathon found
so far. Who is the varnent of Hong Kong 2013? And what is your role this
year, by the way? Good to see you involved!
* Personally no idea about the Hong Kong Wikimedia tech / MediaWiki
community.
* Far from US & Europe, unclear how many usual suspects of this
community will make it.
* Unclear (to me, still) actual purpose, goal and fit with the rest of
Wikimania.
Before having this framework more clear, it is difficult to jump to
specific ideas at the Wikimania website, other than wlan should work
well, we need plugs in each table and so on. :)
