Dear speakers! Please, please, PLEASE put your slides up on the conference pages! (If possible, with comments.) Not everyone has the chance to see every presentation they're interested about.

Re: [Wikimania-l] Accomodation recommendation
http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Hong_Kong/Kowloon#Sleep Budget A large number of guesthouses are located in Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok and Jordan offering cheap, small but generally comfortable and safe accommodation licensed by the Hong Kong government. These are barebone places to stay so there will be no restaurants, souvenir shops or newspaper delivery. Most owners will only speak basic English. Chung King Mansions and Mirador Mansions, both on Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, are famously home to a number of budget hotels and hostels. Having attracted western backpackers for decades, these guesthouses have become increasingly popular with budget travellers from mainland China. Staying at budget hotels is entirely at your own risk and you are advised to seek recommendations from other travellers. Please remember to post your own recommendations here. Expect budget hotel rooms to be undecorated and small with only a bed (or beds), night stand, telephone and television. Noise from fellow travellers may be a problem, so invest in good earplugs. Most will have in-suite bathrooms while others have communal bathrooms. Upon check-in, you should ask the owner how to turn on the water boiler unless you want to shower with cold water. Some guesthouses will include free wireless Internet. Virtually all rooms will come with air-conditioning. Bookings are not needed and some Wikivoyagers have reported that bookings have not always been honoured. The best way to secure a room is simply by arriving at around 1:00pm, when many of last night's guests have just checked out. Ask to see the room before paying, and you should pay for only one night. If you're happy with the first night, the owner will almost always happily extend your stay. You should also ask if there's 24 hour unassisted entrance (which is recommended) or if you have to ring a bell at night. Credit cards aren't accepted, it's cash only. Remember to ask for a receipt with check-in and check-out dates clearly printed. Prices generally range from $150-$250 per night for a single room with en-suite bathrooms. If you are comfortable with a community bathroom, expect to pay about $120. If you know how long you are staying, negotiate in advance to get a lower rate: they want your business over several days, so they will be willing to drop their prices to even $90 a night for a four or five night stay. However some less honest managers tend to increase their prices dramatically around public holidays, in which case it will take either a reservation or a very hard bargaining to get back to the prices mentioned above (or you can simply try and pick a good one, but it can take several hours). There are more accommodation options on the Chung King Mansion, including dormitory rooms. The building which was once an office building is over populated by the countless cheap hostels within it and is now home for lots of foreigners from poor countries all around the world. The massive amount of people creates a queue of up to 15 min to the elevators at rush hours. Among those that have a long history are the Travellers Hostel, Block A, 16 Fl in Chungking and the Garden Hostel, 2Fl, Mirador Mansions[1]. There are places in the Mansions however that travellers seeking fair lodging should definitely avoid. Among them are the Fortunate Guest House and Peninsula Guest House, both owned by the same shady individual who will not hesitate to put you in another, cheaper guesthouse while making you pay disproportionate fees and keeping the difference. The said individual has apparently earned himself quite a reputation among the Chinese guesthouse owners, and is usually seen on the ground floor trying to attract customers. * Cosmic Guest House, 12/F, Block A1, Mirador Mansion, ☎ (852) 2369 6669. A clean hostel with mostly friendly staff, you can get clean dorms here for $60, or bargain for a good deal on one of the tiny private rooms with air-conditioning and cable TV. * Dragon Hostel, 83 Argyle St, Mong Kok. Tiny but clean rooms with aircon and free Internet at reception. Located on the 7th floor and a short walking distance from Mong Kok MTR Station. (852) 2395 0577. * Hakkas Guest House, Flat l 3/f., new lucky house, 300 Nathan Road, ☎ (852) 2771 3656. This well-maintained guesthouse is home to 10 immaculate rooms and is one of the best budget deals at the Yau Ma Tei end of Nathan Rd. * Hop Inn (樸樸旅舍), 2A Hanyee Building, Hankow Road, Tsim Sha Tsui (located in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui district on Hankow Road), ☎ (852) 2881 7331, e-mail: enquiry.hop...@gmail.com. A clean stylish hostel with friendly staff, one of the best in the Tsim Sha Tsui area. Each room was designed by a different local artist / illustrator (Very interesting). * Lee Garden Guest House, 36 Cameron Rd.

It's behind the lunch stands in the main square, so come to our workshops at lunchtime, or drop in any other time.

Re: [Wikimania-l] Accommodation Recommendations
I will be in InnSight, wee.innsight.hk, I have no idea if it is a good place but tripadvisor reviews were mostly ok. Timea I’m currently staying in the Hotel Benito, which I’ve stayed in before on previous trips to Hong Kong, and recommend it highly. It is literally steps from one of Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Station’s entrances along Cameron Road. For cheaper options, the rooms at Lee Garden Guest House and Star Guest House (run by the same management – http://www.starguesthouse.com.hk) are pretty basic and small but I found them all right. ** ** Cheers, Jack (User:Smuconlaw) ___ Wikimania-l mailing list Wikimania-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l ___ Wikimania-l mailing list Wikimania-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l

[Wikimania-l] Etherpads
Hi, folks. Many of you are still using etherpad.wikimedia.org -- which is old and terribly buggy. Some of you have switched to etherpad.wmflabs.org -- which is new and works well, but which had repeatedly choked in the past couple of days under the stress from dozens of Wikipedians taking notes simultaneously on several sheets. *The best server to use is http://epl.wikimedia.org* -- also running the new version, but deployed on a production-grade server that shouldn't have those frequent disconnections and load problems.

Agreed but I think it's not so bad if you know the backstory. (and maybe I got some of this wrong, ops pls correct me if I did!) Short version: all new pads should be made on https://epl.wikimedia.org for now. (maybe epl.wm.o will eventually redirect to etherpad.wm.o ? anyway, using the epl.wm.o domain should work always even if it redirects you to etherpad.wm.o ) backstory: (we could have maybe already switched etherpad.wm.o to be epl and made old pads available at e.g. etherpad-old.wm.o in the interim but I don't think that's worth it at this stage of the migration.) the labs version just exists because the prod version at the time was (sometimes) unreliable and there was no point in sight when that would be fixed. I guess an end of life for the labs version could be announced very soon. (or at least end of support) the legacy (java/openoffice.org) version still exists because there was until recently still a lot of work to do to finish the migration to the epl version.

Re: [Wikimania-l] WMEU
A short clarification: I did NOT mean to set up an organization of European chapters. It's just that on a recent trip to European Commission I noticed that the coverage of EU on wikiprojects is surprisingly lousy, yet it influences millions of people and could be really important. A usual article on a multimillion dollar program of EU is only present on English and French Wikipedias, has no sources, doesn't mention implementation, media coverage or influence, and dates from 2007 or 2009. Fairly, it sucks. But it doesn't have to be like that. EU institutions aren't any good in spreading neutral and objective information directly to the people whose lives they influence, so everything goes through the filters of local politicians and media which all too often have their own agenda. (That's why there's a monthly panic about EU forbidding this or that.) To be honest, we're much better at communication than the EU professionals are. So, maybe we could cooperate. I'm not a missionary for this, I won't try to convince anyone. I'm already exhausted by my current work. But I'd like to hear if anyone else thinks we could (or should) do something about it.

Fairly, it sucks. But it doesn't have to be like that. EU institutions aren't any good in spreading neutral and objective information directly to the people whose lives they influence, so everything goes through the filters of local politicians and media which all too often have their own agenda. (That's why there's a monthly panic about EU forbidding this or that.) To be honest, we're much better at communication than the EU professionals are. So, maybe we could cooperate. I'm not a missionary for this, I won't try to convince anyone. I'm already exhausted by my current work. But I'd like to hear if anyone else thinks we could (or should) do something about it.

I'm not even absolutely sure it would be a good idea, or how it should be working, but I think it would be worth discussing. I've already talked to some of us, so I hope they chime in and help us find a time slot - maybe sometime tonight, before people start to leave.
