Okay, I've created
https://wikimedia.pentabarf.org/submission/wikimania2008/event/18
PLEASE let me know when you've signed up via the link given below and I'll
try and figure out how to add you to the Wikimania event so you can edit it.
As I've already commented I want at least three or four Wikinewsies on the
ground at the event. Yes, we'll do a panel on the project and kick someone
off it to do the original reporting on our event. That's probably going to
be the hardest part of having people there.
Depending on circumstances, sponsorship to get there may be available, so do
NOT say, "I can't afford it, I won't get involved". Even if prior
commitments make it impossible for you to attend then you can still
contribute to our event/session "bid". This is effectively a sales pitch on
how we can participate in a more noticeable way than previous years. There
will likely be opportunities to interview people such as Jimmy and Florence
as well as keynote speakers.
Making it international has to be an aspect of this; if we can get people
from non-en wikis involved it'd be great. The obvious case here is some of
the Polish guys, or BrockF5 from Taiwan. If there are issues where these
people may require visas prior to departure I'd be happy to pretend to be
the chief editor again or hassle WMF and Wikimania people to write letters
of recommendation.

Should be in the normal way (as described on the
http://wikimania2008.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submission page), just add all
the information there with a link that page (external URL). Then,
make sure that everyone has accounts and when they do, go to the
"persons" tab and add them and their positions. I think this will
give them read/write access to that event.

It isn't a wiki, it's some bizarre piece of junk that doesn't seem to let
you collaborate.
How the hell do I put [[WN:WM2008]] into it?
