I believe there is no verifiable evidence that editathons work best when attendees have all their costs paid. If there is, could someone provide a link please? There have been occasions where the way some attendees received payments to attend, including flying in from other countries, has been both politically contentious and anecdotally resulted in attendees without funding being put off using their volunteer time to support editathons run on the same basis. By "anecdotally" I include both this being said to me and there being emails on various lists relating this viewpoint.
