The Wikimania team has decided to look into alternatives to Wikis and EasyChair to manage Wikimania submissions.
They have identified [[ https://getindico.io/ | Indico ]] as a strong contender.
Indico is made to handle the whole lifecycle of any conference: submissions & review, scheduling, room booking, etc.
Nice to haves for submission process:
* everything extractable
* OAuth with Wikimedia account (our usernames, privacy policy etc)
* FLOSS
* Submission management (ideally publicly viewable)
* Review committee (sub groups, chairs, private comments, triage/scoring, approval/rejection)
* Communication with author stored in System
Other elements that would be beneficial but not part of the primary task for this:
* Scheduling
* hosting of the slides/resources for presentations
* Room management
* Registation management (potentially even PayPal etc integration for payment processing)
* Use on the day in each room to display the relevant slides etc...
