Rob, Quim and Wikidatans, Is there a current (curated) summary of all the good suggestions for WikiDev themes, and structuring of conference, in various email threads from the past week or two which you could possibly suggest looking at as key organizers of this? (I shared some Wikimedia language-ontology-translation related questions along with WUaS development questions, like in January 2016, I'd like to explore in the #wikimedia-office Office Hour this morning at 9am PST ).
