I will not be able to attend or contribute to the forthcoming Wikisym
this year--far too deep in software development and thesis research.
But, part of my thesis research calls for the establishment of a
baseline platform for conducting issue-based information systems
(IBIS) conversations online. I chose MediaWiki for that work. A
prototype is now online [1] where we are just now beginning to use it
as our communication vehicle for further platform development
(bootstrapping).
We believe we are close to releasing a "1.0" version of the
stand-alone extension; I say "stand alone" because the extension lives
together with other extensions in our project which share the same
internal services, e.g. FCKEditor and Smarty. The stand-alone version
includes those, but if they already exist, then a few tweaks need to
be made to various includes.
I would be happy to hold conversations with others with similar interests.
