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. The Hypertext and Society programme aims to explore developments in Hypertext and innovative technologies where the defining feature is the existence of communities of users. It is our hope that the Hypertext and Society Programme will offer a high quality venue for this exciting new area. 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. All submissions must be formatted using the official ACM SIG proceedings template. (http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html). Technical (4 pages Short & 10 pages Full) Hypertexts (Zip-File / URL & 2 pages) - Submission: 7th May 2007 Midnight HST - Notification: 4th Jun 2007 Midnight HST - Camera Copy: 2nd Jul 2007 Midnight HST Posters & Demos (2 pages) - Submission: 11th Jun 2007 Midnight HST - Notification: 18th Jun 2007 Midnight HST - Camera Copy: 2nd Jul 2007 Midnight HST We have also included a Student Research Competition programme. The aim of this is to encourage research students to submit their work in order to obtain valuable feedback and to also become involved within the hypertext community. Student Research Competition (2 pages) - Submission: 7th May 2007 Midnight HST - Notification: 4th Jun 2007 Midnight HST - Camera Copy: 2nd Jul 2007 Midnight HST Technical papers, poster abstracts, and demonstration abstracts will appear in the official conference proceedings, published by ACM. Conference attendees will receive a copy of the proceedings. All material will be available through the ACM Digital Library. CONFERENCE LOCATION ------------------- The conference will take place on the 10th, 11th and 12th September 2007, within the Manchester Museum in Manchester, UK. The museum is located within the centre of The University of Manchester campus and is within easy access of several tourist attractions and the city centre of Manchester. Located in the North West of the UK, Manchester is easily reachable by air, rail, and car. Further information of how to get to the conference venue can be found in the travel section. Being in a central location of the country, Manchester also acts as a good base for travelling further a field around the UK, with all the major roads and railway lines passing through the City. London is only 2 hours away by train whilst Edinburgh, the Capital City of Scotland, is only 3 and a half hours away.

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!
