Cormac --
as far as I know there's no single page that will give you all the
info about wikimania, except the en: wiki article (which is not really
our best effort :P) this sound really be a project for meta, perhaps
involving communications people -- a 2-3 page overview of the
conference past, present and future would be a lovely press tool as
many of us have to give these kinds of interviews (you're writing for
the Guardian -- congratulations! -- I'm giving a local radio interview
next week, etc).
How about using
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania for the future?
For participating in 2007 -- no single page; registration is the
technical details but
http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania:Lounge might be your
best bet. There's also ideas at [[Program ideas]]; dont' know where
the streams will be centralized.
