Perhaps much of this is information that is now lost to us, but I think it would be interesting to put up a page with a costs spreadsheet from each conference so we can get an overall picture of what's involved (and what's changing from year-to-year). This would also, I think, help future hosts as they think about what's involved with hosting the conference (learn from past experiences). Concerns, I guess, would be whether folks (sponsors) would want what they contributed public knowledge like that (I assume they don't mind since we've lumped them into levels with amounts associated with them already, but I'm not positive). I know we've been sharing these things via email between hosts but perhaps a more stable location would be better (and encourage their collection)? Are these sorts of things already lost from the early years? Kevin
