Talk:Wikimania Handbook

OHAI

If you're writing a textbook about Wikimania, you might consider using our free textbook wiki, Wikibooks!  — mike@meta:~$  20:37, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I suggested that, but let's just get it written first. :-) We can always get it moved later; no sense in arguing about location now. Cbrown1023 talk 21:16, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

I <3 wikibooks. But it's not really a textbook -- more internal documentation of process. -- phoebe 18:33, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Wikibooks' tables-of-contents styles would help -- this is already long for one page. Jodi.a.schneider 18:34, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Trying to avoid the Wikimania 2010 video problem in the future

I've just added the following diff. I am not sure it this is the best place to write this sort of concern. See also this mail on the Wikimania list, and wm2011:Wikimania:Information Desk. Teofilo 13:32, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Logistics info for attendees (where does that belong?)

One topic to be covered is logistics info for attendees -- I'm not sure if this belongs in the "wiki" section or whether it needs a dedicated section. Pointers to information about travel logistics, location, visas, international phone calls, type of power, security issues, ... Jodi.a.schneider 18:35, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Remote participation

What would remote participation with telepresence add to or subtract from the accommodation cost and overall cost of participation? Presumably leases can be arranged? 71.215.79.206 22:01, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

[after further contested deletion] Given that cost is part of this question, why is it or is it not proper to obtain price information? 71.215.79.206 14:54, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Remote telepresence would be incredibly costly and of dubious value—we neither know if it would work or if it would be used. I'm not sure that it's worth the cost but it is worth investigating. harej (talk) 22:54, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

I think a general page on remote participation might be useful. The term can refer to a wide variety of things -- at one end of the spectrum, the simple ability to view streaming video and follow/contribute to Twitter hashtags is legitimate remote participation, as is full-on telepresence. It would be useful to collect thoughts about the full range in one place, for Wikimania and also for other kinds of events/processes in the Wikimedia world. It seems to me that information about specific products and prices would be much more appropriate if placed in that kind of context; and then pages like this one could simply link to the more detailed page. -Pete F (talk) 20:10, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
