Mailing List Archive: Who invented Wikimania?

Hi, all,

Nowadays, I am thinking about the content of the official website. I think
it will be good to have a "History of Wikimania" page on the website, to
give some idea to those who are new to Wikimania or Wikimedia community.
Please see:

Just like the "2006 Doha Asian Games" website, there's a page of the game
footsteps year by year on it. Please see:
http://www.doha-2006.com/gis/menuroot/spirit/history.aspx.html

I couldn't find anything about who invented this event. There was not any
record on who invented, how they thought, why this event held....... Does
anybody know it?

Thanks.

THD

As far as I am aware, Elian first had the idea in a cold rainy fall day :-)
