I have been asking some potential paper-authors, who often write about wikis and collaborative environments but are popular and usually busy, whether they would be willing to submit papers for publication and public discussion. It wouldn't be a very official-sounding publication cite, but then it's a rather new field. It might be nice to produce a proper proceedings for libraries that are interested, which would be incentive to submit papers. What do you think?

Are there arrangements where a presentation can be given without being present, ie in the form of a brochure or other handout, or submitting a presentation for somebody else to give (I think the former options are more realistic)?
Yes. We're going to have posters up. Usually the person presenting the poster would be available to talk about it at a specific time, but I don't see why we couldn't also allow presenterless posters to be up as well. Perhaps they could be discussed on IRC rather than live?
There will be a package of stuff given to attendees, including the schedule, maps, and details on the sponsors. This could also include presentations etc from people not able to be present, as long as the printing costs aren't too prohibitive. A paid-for print on demand solution would be an alternative if we got too many of these.
