I notice that weakness 4 says "the WiFi in place at the Olympic Village will not have been designed with hundreds of Wikipedians in mind". This is going to be part of {{w|East London Tech City}}. They are going to really want to make sure that WiFi isn't a weakness. They can use the fact that WiFi has been insufficient at previous places as a selling point for their fancy new facility when it all goes smoothly. I suggest that whoever has been talking to Tech City discuss this with them and get reassurance that it's all going to be fine.

:Well previous venues have thought they'd be able to cope with the strain of hundreds of people editing Wikipedia (which is more strenuous on the infrastructure, I believe, than just accessing Twitter and Facebook like most people would at most conferences) and it has only been discovered that they couldn't when everybody is there.

Visa
UK is not part of schengen, thus your map for visas is wrong (en:Schengen Area). --90.212.41.34 15:55, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for pointing that out. I have removed it. The correct map is here, but it doesn't seem to work on this wiki. -- Marek.69 talk 13:46, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

I notice that weakness 4 says "the WiFi in place at the Olympic Village will not have been designed with hundreds of Wikipedians in mind". This is going to be part of East London Tech City. They are going to really want to make sure that WiFi isn't a weakness. They can use the fact that WiFi has been insufficient at previous places as a selling point for their fancy new facility when it all goes smoothly. I suggest that whoever has been talking to Tech City discuss this with them and get reassurance that it's all going to be fine. Yaris678 14:58, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
