RC Showcase
- Six or seven monitors, tracking recent changes.
- ENWP, known non-bot users (from a list of 10,000) - 30/minute
- ENWP, other (new users, anons, bots? see below.) - 20/minute
- Large WPs (top 10?) - 25/minute?
- Small WPs (bottom 100) - 20/minute?
- Other projects (ENWN, ENWB topping the list) - 15/minute?
- Meta projects (meta, wmf, wikimania, mailing-list posts) - 10/hr??
- Since this is too little content; perhaps we can include here all posts to rare namespaces : Wikipedia: and Talk:, parallels on all other projects.
- Optional: Bots, on all projects - 1/minute, averaged out? 20+/min at peak times.
- A combined external-RC feed; somehow displayed / hooked up to sounds.
- Flickr, similar? photos
- Del.icio.us, Technorati, Feedster, other tags
- Matching tags: Wikipedia, Wikimedia, Wikinews, Wikimania, Mediawiki, etc.
- Secondary matches: Wiki, "free knowledge", "open content", "free content", etc.
- Talk to people from the last O'Reilly conf to do this for Flickr
Ideal: offer internal broadcasting of these feeds, that visitors could select from over the intranet. An odd form of multicasting.
Wiki Visitors
Ward Cunningham (c2, xp, &c)
- Late August 2 - August 8.
- Cost: biz-class ticket, housing.

- Game for taking part in many events; wants to get to know the community
- May not be able to look at source code, depending on how scared MS lawyers are about GFDL-tainting
Sven Dowideit (twiki)
- "hopefully for the entire event", coming from Australia via Zurich
- Cost: none.
- looking to bring other twiki devs along

- Cost: none. Wants to see a panel about "things wikis /shouldn't/ be able to do... but can"
- Talks: 1) enterprise dev panel (they're perhaps the largest enterprise wiki platform; 400 clients), 2) cute wiki tricks (tales from their FedEx Day -- simultaneous editing, javascript-sexy edits in place, clever metadata and discussion-page tricks, advanced ACL magic...)
Other Visitors
Rebecca Ray (LISA)
- days unknown
- Cost: none? coming from LISA's swiss HQ
- looking for other localization experts to invite
- Update: Michael Anobile seems like the candidate to come.
Subject: RE: LISA at Wikimania? this sounds good. let me see what your agenda looks like-- also the companies/attendee profiles. i can select case data from an fairly wide selection of companies. probably using ibm, avaya... and smaller. but. it makes better sense to get some data first [on who will be there], then decide. please keep me posted. Michael Anobile <mike@lisa.org> www.lisa.org
Vergara (LOGOS dictionary)
- days flexible.
- Cost: ~none; Logos is interested in sponsorship, paying own way, bringing 2 people
- Update: Wants to sponsor for $1k Euros.
- Presentations: 1) on the history of the logos dictionary and its conception / community, 2) a panel on ultimate wiktionary comparing visions. "He would prefer to speak in Spanish or Italian."
- Other: offers of translation services and help, pending interest from translators (who are not employees; would have to agree to volunteer). Offered a list of interpreters who live in the area, from their db, who we could ask to come for travel/lodging.
