Hi all, Phoebe Ayers and I are leading a workshop at WikiSym this year, "WikiLit: Collecting the Wiki and Wikipedia Literature". We would love to have your participation! This workshop has three key goals. First, we will examine existing and proposed systems for collecting and analyzing the research literature about wikis. Second, we will discuss the challenges in building such a system and will engage participants to design a sustainable collaborative system to achieve this goal. Finally, we will provide a forum to build upon ongoing wiki community discussions about problems and opportunities in finding and sharing the wiki research literature. For more details, please see:  http://www.wikisym.org/ws2011/workshop:wikilit Please do not hesitate to ask questions, either by replying here on the list or by contacting me or Phoebe (psayers(a)ucdavis.edu) directly. Looking forward to seeing you at WikiSym!

Hi Daniel, Glad to hear of your enthusiasm, and sorry to hear you won't be able to attend. In terms of remote participation, I have a couple of suggestions. 1. Before the workshop, we'd love to hear any thoughts you might have. Do you have time to briefly write up problems, solutions, observations, etc. that you see in this space? If so, you could e-mail those to Phoebe and myself; I'm sure they would be helpful in guiding the discussion.

2. One of the products of the workshop will be proposals for what do to moving forward, for the community to consider, develop further, and perhaps implement. We will publish and announce here. These will necessarily include a strong, if not exclusive, online component. I don't know what this will look like, but I'm sure there will be a great need for participation by folks like yourself. I think we do not have the infrastructure to offer meaningful remote live participation during the actual workshop, sadly. We might be able to do stuff like liveblogging or tweeting. I'll talk with Phoebe.

I'm looking forward to hearing a report of the workshop, once somebody gets a chance! -Jodi 2011/10/3 Finn Årup Nielsen <fn(a)imm.dtu.dk> > Dear Reid and Phoebe, > > I suppose that this Workshop is going on today. > > On Fri, 2011-09-02 at 17:42 +0200, Reid Priedhorsky wrote: > > On 8/31/11 8:53 PM, Daniel Mietchen wrote: > > > > I would love to participate, but can't make it to WikiSym.
