Hi,
The program of WikiSym (2006 International Symposium on Wikis) at August
21th-23th in Odense, Denmark is published:
http://ws2006.wikisym.org/space/Symposium+Program
Not all abstracts are uploaded yet, but the names and titles promise an
interesting, constructive meeting of Wiki researchers. Angela will give
a general talk on Wikipedia and I'll do a workshop on Wikipedia
research, based on a review of the Wiki Research bibliography - so I
would be glad to meet you in Odense! If you think about participating in
the Workshop on Wikipedia Research please add yourself here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Workshop_on_Wikipedia_Research%2C_WikiSym_20…
The Workshop on Wiki Markup Standard is also relevant for Wikmedia if we
want to make our content more shareable - I'd like to see Brion there,
maybe the Foundation can send him?
At this year's Wikimania, there will also be a research event, but it
seems not to be decided yet:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2006/Program/Research_thingy
I've seen that Fernanda Viegas will speak at both Wikimania and WikiSym,
and Semantic MediaWiki (which is really great by the way, I hope to get
it into Wikipedia soon!) will also be presentated at both conferences.
So there is some overlap, but in general WikiSym seems to be more
scientific orientated - I you are more lucky than me then just come to
both events! For WikiSym you should register until June 19th (in 10
days!) because its cheaper until this date!
Greetings and see you in Odense,
Jakob

Subject: [Wikitech-l] Some statistics I wish I had...
To: English Wikipedia <wikien-l(a)wikipedia.org>,
wiki-research-l(a)wikia.com, Wikimedia developers
<wikitech-l(a)wikimedia.org>
(Sorry for the cross posting, but there are several groups who might
find this interesting.)
For years now, it has been common for people to claim that "all the good
editors are jumping ship" or "we are losing our best people".
Generally, this has not proven to be true: people come and go, to be
sure, but as some people drift away, others have drifted in. Whether
the rate of burnout is "too high" or "too low" or "just right" is quite
hard to say.
However, it ought to be possible to at least quantify what that rate
actually is, by using the Erik Zachte statistics or a modification of them.
I would be fascinated if we could figure out such statistics as
"For any given edit, what is the average length of service of the
editor?" "For any given edit, what is the median length of service of
the editor?" These could be measured by either time since first edit,
or total number of edits or (perhaps best) some weighted average of the
edit history.
It would be nice to track that number over time... are we becoming
"younger" as a community, "older" as a community? Staying about the
same? Are old-timers sticking around longer than they used to, or
jumping ship faster?
There are also a whole set of related questions around newbies:
Are newbies more likely to stick around, or less likely to stick around,
than they were a year ago. Some people feel we are being overrun by
newbies, others feel that we are becoming a more closed and cliqueish
community which does not welcome newbies.
I would measure this by saying "Of people who made at least 100 edits a
month ago, how many of them made at least 100 edits this month". And
similar stats for "at least 10 edits". (Merely looking at "new
accounts" would not be right, because we had a huge spike in new account
creation when it became necessary to have an account to create a new page.)

Hi,
There is an interesting discussion on wikitech-l about statistics. Tim
has already generated some data - I collected the graphs at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Days_since_first_edit
and wrote something about it in my blog at
http://wm.sieheauch.de/?p=44
Because there still seem to be people that are not aware of the steep
distribution of activity per contributor: It's confirms [[Lotka's Law]]
- at least for the majority of contributors - a power law in the form
"contributors * edits^1.5 = constant" (see page 56f. in my masters
thesis [1]).
Greetings,

Sorry if this has gone out before... I got it from a librarians
mailing list. Interesting! What do you all think? It's like what
Nature did, only ad-hoc. There's no contact information for the
original survey developer, which is a little odd...

Dear conference committee members
(especially Helmut, Sunir and Kouichirou, since you're the Publicity
People)
Could you please post our CFP out to as many people (who just might be
interested) as humanly possible?
I have already started sending this out to the following mailing
lists:
announcements(a)oopsla.acm.org
ecoop-info(a)ecoop.org
chi-announcements(a)listserv.acm.org
seworld(a)cs.colorado.edu
SIGWEB mailing list
semantic-web(a)w3.org
but it is really important for potential authors (and thus, the most
likely potential attendees) to see the CFP from as many different
directions as possible - and ideally from people they know and whose
judgement they trust. This means you!
I think three weeks out from the deadline gives people enough time to
decide to write a paper, and to get something in - so please, do
encourage your friends, colleagues (and strangers you meet in dark
alleys - says Dirk!) to consider submitting to WikiSym; or even
consider submitting yourself.
but for now, the most important thing is to distribute this CFP.
thanks (in adavnce) for your help.
cheers
James Noble,

advance the state of the art by describing substantiated new research
or novel technical results or by reporting on significant experience
or experimentation. They are reviewed both with respect to conceptual
quality and clarity of presentation.
Accepted research papers will be provided as part of the conference
proceedings. They will be put into the ACM Digital Library and can be
referenced as papers that appeared in the Proceedings of the 2006
International Symposium on Wikis. At the symposium, the presenter will
be given a 25min + 5min Q&A presentation slot. Research papers should
not be longer than 10000 words and 20 pages and should meet the ACM
SIG Proceedings Format, see
http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html.
Practitioner reports will be reviewed for suitability of presentation
to the community. The primary evaluation criterion is the interest to
the community. Practitioner reports will be provided as part of the
conference proceedings handed out at the symposium and can be
referenced as papers that appeared in the Proceedings of the 2006
International Symposium on Wikis as well. Practitioner reports should
not be longer than 6000 words and 12 pages and should meet the ACM SIG
Proceedings Format.
Demonstration, workshop, and panel submissions will be reviewed for
their interest to the community. A submission should consist of two
pages describing what you intend to do and how you meet this
criterion. It should include a 100-word abstract and one-paragraph
bios of all people relevant to the submission. Demonstrations will be
presented in a joint demonstration session, workshops will get a
half-day or a full-day and a room of their own (depending on your
request), and panels will get a 90min slot at the symposium.
Please submit your papers or proposals in PDF format by the respective

Subject: Re: Social science speakers and workshops
Cormac & all,
One of the workshops you brought up Sunday is something that I would
really like to see -- a breakout session about researching wikipedia -
e.g, a more informal forum for researchers who study wikipedia to talk
about techniques, problems, current ideas, future studies... (am I
getting the general idea right?) I know you & I and Andrew Lih (who
I'm cc'ing in on this) have talked about it briefly, and it was also
brought up last year but never happened.
I guess this could be a workshop format or maybe a birds-of-a-feather.
At any rate, I'd like to be able to schedule it in. Any volunteers :)
or suggestions for who could lead such a thing? It shouldn't be too
difficult to put together; more a matter of scheduling a time & making
sure interested parties can show up, and possibly arranging specific
demonstrations of techniques. It could be social-science oriented, or
(this might be better) open to all researchers in all topics, as long
as they're trying to figure out how to study the site.

DEADLINES: THERE ARE TWO MORE WEEKS TO PREPARE A SUBMISSION
TO THE STICA06 WORKSHOP ***
========================================================
Last Call for Papers STICA06
1st International Workshop on Semantic Technologies in Collaborative
Applications STICA06
at the
15th IEEE International Workshops on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructures for
Collaborative Enterprises (WETICE-2006)
The University of Manchester, Manchester, U.K. (26th-28th June 2006)
http://nbi.inf.fu-berlin.de/conf/STICA06
==========================================================
MOTIVATION
==================
With distributed information systems and the Internet continually increasing in
significance, collaboratively creating and managing information has become an
essential requirement for the success of
(virtual) organizations. This situation has led to a plethora of platforms
supporting cooperation as well as joint information
access among geographically dispersed user communities that have emerged in the
last decades: collaborative information spaces,
tele-cooperation, autonomous agents or, more recently, various Web-related forms
of communication and cooperation such as
discussion forums, community portals, Wikis and blogs.
A fundamental requirement for an effective collaboration is the availability of
technologies and tools which provide an explicit and unambiguous representation
of the shared information and a feasible management of such semantics-enhanced
information repositories. The emergence of the Semantic Web has marked an
important stage in the evolution of semantic technologies. In this context the
knowledge components i.e. ontologies are
formalized using Web-suitable, but in the same time semantically unambiguous
representation languages, are accessible and can
be shared and reused across the World Wide Web.
The Semantic Web offers new opportunities for the next generation of
collaborative applications: it provides us with novel means to classify
information items i.e. by means of ontologies which formally represent the
consensual understanding of the application users w.r.t. a particular domain of
interest. Taking advantage of this technology, the first promising
implementations of Semantic Web-based collaboration platforms such as Semantic
Web portals, semantic Wikis and blogs, to name only a few, have been proposed.
This workshop aims at contributing to this young application field by providing
a forum for practitioners and researchers to present innovative approaches to
applying Semantic Web technologies in collaborative environments and to discuss
the opportunities and challenges related to this topic.
OBJECTIVES
================
The primary objective of this workshop is to gather researchers and
practitioners working in different emerging aspects of semantics-enabled
collaboration, ranging from discovering new application scenarios, proposing
new methods to apply Semantic Web and related emerging technologies to current
environments, pointing out issues that still need to be solved, and reporting
results and experiences gained during the deployment of collaborative methods
and the realization of support systems.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
=================
We invite original academic and industry contributions which report on issues
related to semantic collaboration. Topics of interest include but are not
limited to:
-- Methodologies for collaboratively creating and managing shared information
-- Collaborative ontology engineering
-- Semantic collaboration applications
-- Collaborative Semantic Web portals
-- Semantic community support systems
-- Semantic Wikis
-- Semantic Blogging
-- Semantic Mindmapping and Conceptmapping
-- Case studies, lessons learned and experience reports on semantics-aware
collaborative applications
-- Studies on the value added to collaboration by semantic technologies
-- Future research directions in the area of semantic collaboration

Hi
I just read at wiki-standards(a)wikisym.org about the
http://recentchangescamp.org/ (Feb 3 thru Feb 5, 2006) - it was not a
real scientific conference but relevant if you are interested in the big
picture of social changes, wiki practise in general etc. You should have
a look at it!
