Hoi,
I positively HATE the notion that Wikimania will be once every other year.
It is easy enough to get in contact with local heroes. What Wikimania does
is bring people from the whole world together. Without Wikimania our
community is parochial. This is where our projects are weak in having a
global view.
I resent this conclusion forcefully.
Thanks,
GerardM
