Hi,
I know it may be too early to ask that, but I promise to send another
notification related this issue in the coming months :)
We started last year to make the Wikimania costs more transparent.
Wikimania is our biggest and the most expensive project. To ask our self
"how much Wikimania costs" we can't only look on the project budget, as the
total cost involve also scholarships (from WMF and chapters)
and delegations of the chapters and the WMF.
We have tracking pages on Meta about Wikimania
2011<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2011/Budget>and
Wikimania
2012 <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2012/Budget> (sadly the
organizer team of 2012 didn't updated their costs till now...), and I
opened a new page for Wikimania
2013<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2013/Budget>
.
So again, I know to some of you this is too early to put the costs
(although the size of the chapters and WMF delegation is known and could be
update also now) - but if you can, do it now. If now, remember to do it
what you have the numbers.
The data requested is your chapter\wmf
delegation<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2013/Budget#Delegations>
and
the number of scholarships<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania/Scholarships/2013>your
chapters gave.
Thanks,
Itzik
Dear Wikimedia community:
I would like to help provide feedback for Wikimania 2013 and 2014
organizers regarding genderqueer and trans* Wikimedians' experience of
Wikimania (especially on the topics of registration, accommodations,
t-shirts, and other parts of Wikimania where gender comes up). If you
have that kind of feedback for the organizers but would prefer to submit
it anonymously, I'm happy to help by posting it on the Feedback pages on
your behalf and without your name. (Of course, if you would like to post
feedback yourself, feel free! This is just an offer to help out those
who want to offer suggestions or criticism but don't feel comfortable
publicly outing themselves.)

Hi,
Right now, we already have a dozen separate wikis for each past and future Wikimanias, and there's no doubt there'll be much more to come.
The idea here is to have a single Wikimania wiki (wikimania.wikimedia.org) for all conferences, instead of the current separate-wiki style (wikimania2012.wikimedia.org). This has been discussed at Wikimania project domain in 2011, but it seems to have quickly ran outta gas.
Key issues addressed:
* Q1: Organizers (alone) of a current conference needs to have absolute control over the conference wiki (aka being an admin).
* A1: Wikimania wikis does not run as normal projects. Hence, all organizers shall easily be given admin rights (and former organizers removed) as it becomes necessary. The cycle continues.
* Q2: What about archiving past wikis? What if we need to look back?
* A2: Except for key pages (such as the Main Page), all other pages of each project could be created under the respective year's subpage. For example, all 2012 conference's pages would be under [http://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2012/page/page/etc]. Additionally if necessary, any vital page requiring archiving could also be edit protected (cascading style too, if possible).
Please respond at the existing Wikimania project domain proposal page, and help it get off the ground.
Thanks!

Hey hey Wikimaniacs,
now that everyone is back to normal (or back from vacation ;)), we
would like to ask you for some feedback about the Chapters Village
that was hosted in the logo square during the conference.
The short survey not only addresses chapters who actively took part,
but also visitors and guest who had the chance to get an impression of
the set-up and involvement of movement entities.
We would like to hear about your experiences with the Chapters Village
and the extra sessions during the breaks to see if we should continue
this format and how we can possibly improve it next year. We highly
appreciate your ideas, comments and criticism! In addition to the
paper version, we have created a short online survey to gather some
feedback about the Chapters Village. It will take you a maximum of 5
minutes to fill in.

Please reply before 20 September 2013.
Thanks a lot for your support,
Kasia, Wenke, and Nicole

Hi all,
If you have noticed, Hong Kong is in WLM this year. All we want from you
is that you could upload photos of monuments you took during Wikimania.
please go tohttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013_in_H…
note that there are two kinds of monuments in Hong Kong: declared
monuments and historic buildings.
You can quickly check the list on the page, whether the thing you took
in HK is a declared monument or historic building.
Then you can upload to relative portals.
It seems HK is falling behind now, please do help! Thanks!
Kris
