No Casey, we only attempted once. I believe there is A BIG MISUNDERSTANDING going on. We withdrew the 2008's bid by ourselves to give it more time to prepare for 2009's Wikimania. So I don't understand where did the figure of "same bid has been attempted like three times" came from.

We'll be adding information to it (and probably changing everything altogether). Nonetheless, we have some contacts that we can reuse in old bid page. About volunteers, I'm not sure if Quebec has the mandatory volunteer requirement to graduate high school.
