Yes, a wiki page would be easier.

If we need two days for the FAD it's better to start on August 5, and so
on August 7 people will be able to travel and reach Dresden. If people
would fly very early on August 8 they will be tired for Flock.

I think is better to think why we need this FAD, why is important for
our team etc rather than budget.
Before thinking about money and cost, I would focus on content and ideas
first.

I'm happy to see the discussions to organize a L10n FAD. I would be
happy to help organize it.
