With libroscope team, we are leading a topic on � Le libre, au-del� du logiciel (Extending Free Software principles beyond the IT sphere) � http://wiki.ael.be/rmll2003/index.php/FreeSoftwareBeyondIT I am looking for a wikipedian speecher for this theme. As a lurker^H^H^H chaotic contributor to wikipedia there are a lot of points that makes me think wikipedia is legitimate on this point : - sharing the knowledge using mechanisme closed to libre software methodology (letting anyone contribute and using peer review) - benevolent dictatorship model (Hi jim) with trusted lieutenant (like youssefan, alvaro, aoineko, ant ... for the one I know) ; - focusing on user and the ease of use rather than technology ; - making contributor have good practice by social engeneering (discussion, NPOV..) rather than with software implemented rules. - web/email centric coordination (the virtual roof) - from Kaos Management to Knowledge Management ;) - a living proof wiki technology can give large scale structured website :) : you don't need complex technology to build large KM database. The last point is the one I really like : focusing on peopleware seems to be a far better approach than focusing on a pure technological approach to build such a large scale project. Anyone interested, and available ? I have missed some points I know, and I would be glad to discuss it with you. PS as a matter of fact, I guess that wikipedia is such a rich project that it could be appropriate to do more than one speech :) As an individual I would be really interested in a conf on the architecture and the technological aspect though it is not the topic I work on. PPS je parie que �a va se terminer � pas d'heure au bistro encore :) -- Julien Tayon http://www.tayon.net/ http://libroscope.org/ Si la v�rit� est une femme, essayons de la s�duire avant de la saisir. _______________________________________________ Wikipedia-l mailing list Wikipedia-l(a)wikipedia.org http://www.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikipedia-l
