Sorry to those who already read this on wikimania-l, but I'm<br>especially looking for people who will understand the tech sessions at<br>Wikimania to act as moderators for those.<br><br>If you would like to volunteer, please let me know as soon as possible.
<br><br>Moderating basically involves introducing the speaker and then making<br>sure they finish on time, and sometimes handling questions from the<br>audience at the end when there's time for a Q&A session. You will also
<br>need to find the speaker before the event and make sure they're happy<br>with the arrangements and know where they're going.<br><br>The "Technical infrastructure" sessions that need moderating include:<br><br>
Session 4 (Saturday)<br> * Brion Vibber: Hacking MediaWiki<br> * Hacking days review<br><br>Session 6 (Saturday)<br> * Christoph Sauer: What you see is wiki - Questioning WYSIWYG in<br>the internet age<br> * Darniet Jennings: Why WYSIWIKI?
<br> * Timothy Chklovski: Collecting Computer-useable knowledge from<br>volunteer contributors<br> * Chris Luer: Disambiguation: the key to information architecture?<br><br>Session 7 (Sunday)<br> * Technical lightning talks/future of search
<br> * Paul Sponagl: Device independent access to Wikipedia<br> * Kasper Souren: Wikipedia on the Nokia 770<br><br>Angela<br>_______________________________________________<br>Wikitech-l mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Wikitech-l@wikimedia.org">
