Dear Reid and Phoebe,
I would love to participate, but can't make it to WikiSym. Do you see
a way to participate online?
Hi Daniel,
Glad to hear of your enthusiasm, and sorry to hear you won't be able to
attend. In terms of remote participation, I have a couple of suggestions.
1. Before the workshop, we'd love to hear any thoughts you might have.
Do you have time to briefly write up problems, solutions, observations,
etc. that you see in this space? If so, you could e-mail those to Phoebe
and myself; I'm sure they would be helpful in guiding the discussion.
2. One of the products of the workshop will be proposals for what do to
moving forward, for the community to consider, develop further, and
perhaps implement. We will publish and announce here. These will
necessarily include a strong, if not exclusive, online component. I
don't know what this will look like, but I'm sure there will be a great
need for participation by folks like yourself.
I think we do not have the infrastructure to offer meaningful remote
live participation during the actual workshop, sadly. We might be able
to do stuff like liveblogging or tweeting. I'll talk with Phoebe.
HTH,
Reid
