interviews with users (knowledge creation)
by Neni Pogarcic 25 Apr '07

25 Apr '07

Hi! I am currently busy with a research about virtual communities and knowledge creation, and use Wikipedia as an experiment and test for the illustration of knowledge creation. As background information, and thorough understanding of Wikipedia I want to conduct interviews with Wikipedia users. Does anyone has a useful mailing list for this, or another source where I can reach Wikipedia contributors? Sincerely, Neni Pogarcic (Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam)

ACM Hypertext 2007
by Sunir Shah 19 Apr '07

19 Apr '07

Folks, I know I am getting this out late. This year ACM Hypertext is having a closer look at wikis, especially things like semantic wikis and collaborative writing which I know are research interests here. As a bonus, it will be in the UK this year, which may be more convenient for some than other wiki symposiums (Taiwan, Montreal). Best, Sunir ----------------- ====================================== HYPERTEXT AND SOCIETY ACM Hypertext 2007 Call for Participation ====================================== Hypertext and Society Programme Eighteenth International ACM Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia Manchester, UK 10th - 12th September 2007 http://www.sigweb.org/ht07/home/htsociety.php -------------------------------------- ACM Hypertext 2007 consists of five autonomous programmes under a single unified conference.

TOPICS ------ We seek papers that explore applications, implementations, implications and evaluation, and necessary models and standards for such systems, including: * Mapping and Visualisation of social spaces and networks * Blogs and alternative Blog forms (podcasting, photologs etc.) * Collaborative working * Wikis * Forums * Semantic Wikis * Folksonomy, tagging, annotation and metadata * Recommender systems * Social networks and communities of practice * Social software for learning * Citation networks * Virtual presence, identity and trust * Multi-user Games We are also seeking papers that explore the implementation and impact of such systems user communities such as: * Governments * Developing regions * Virtual organisations * E-commerce * Education * Health care We understand the term hypertext in the broadest sense encompassing a wide range of multimedia applications. SUBMISSIONS ----------- Participants are invited to submit Technical Papers, Hypertexts, Poster and Demonstration papers.

Re: [Wiki-research-l] History of discussion pages and Movies of History
by Rut 02 Apr '07

02 Apr '07

Thanks everyone. It is pretty simple afterall (and a great feature that you can see the history of the tab being viewed), oh, How I wish I had one of you nearby to ask in person! I've emailed Jon Udell to ask how he did this: http://weblog.infoworld.com/udell/gems/umlaut.html - but haven't got a reply. I'm not very techy oriented and I am sort of alone in these studies up here in copenhagen, so, maybe someone knows how to do an equivalent thing (or point me for the start) - how to record frame after frame from history (now I know what pages to look for - but how to make it movie'ish?!). The idea is that, although History Flow can well show the changes, it is difficult to get a good grip - looking first at a movie would/could give a lot of insight. Also, for public presentations - would be nice to have some easy movies to show what is happening. Thanks!
