Is there a list of proposals already submitted? I definitely want there to be a session on XWiki's embedded file viewer/editor widget proposal < http://www.webviewers.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome%3E if there's not already one... worse case I'll just file a couple of redundant entries. :D

BACKGROUND
Wikis are essential tools for online collaboration, open knowledge and free software. They are everywhere: from the mainstream Wikipedia to a myriad of public, academic and corporate knowledge bases and personal sites. And most of them are open source software.
Wikis became popular thanks to the edit button allowing users to create and modify text-based web pages easily. Over the years wikis have become more powerful, handling more content types, allowing better look & feel, championing localization and integrating (sometimes) with other tools. The development continues, with hundreds of professional and volunteer contributors specializing in this area.
There are also challenges: the competition from (mainly proprietary and corporate) social media and online office tools, keeping up with UX expectations from users, editors and sysadmins, compatibility across different wiki engines and other publishing tools, collaboration between wiki projects...
SCOPE
Wikis devroom is a place to showcase and discuss
new features, especially exploring areas beyond plain text editing
compatibility and integration with other tools and services
lessons learned from deployments, surveys, research...
cross-project collaboration
We want to focus on sessions for a technical audience including savvy editors. Basic introductions for end users and long tutorials are out of scope.
FORMAT
One day, one room. Most of the schedule will be filled with sessions of about 25 minutes that have gone through a call for participation.
We will have a WikiWiki Hour of lightning presentations (5 minutes each).
We will organize a panel session with representation of key wiki projects - the specific topic to be decided as we confirm the
participants.
ORGANIZATION
Quim Gil (MediaWiki), Vincent Massol (XWiki) and Jean-Marc Libs (Tiki).
