Interestingly, having them every other year would make it potentially
viable for an entirely new community group to start putting on their own
wikimanias, essentially forking the process.

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,

The Community Resources team at the WMF recently held a consultation
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Towards_a_New_Wikimania>
on articulating the value of Wikimedia movement conferences overall, the
unique value of Wikimania, and what new form Wikimania could take to better
serve the movement going forward. We have completed analysis of these
results and have prepared this report:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Towards_a_New_Wikimania/Outcomes
I will be working with the community, organizers, committees, and WMF in
2017 to begin set up and planning for an experimental model for Wikimedia
movement conferences, including Wikimania, starting in 2018.
Feedback and comments are welcome at the discussion page
