[Foundation-l] Missed the Wiki Symposium (WikiSym 2005)?

[Dirk Riehle]

Interested in wiki research and practice?

If you want to learn more, please check out the conference 
proceedings of the 2005 International Symposium on Wikis, the first 
of its kind, at: http://www.wikisym.org/ws2005/proceedings .

If you missed the conference, you can still read up on the talks of 
the likes of Ward Cunningham, father of the wiki, and Jimmy Wales, 
founder of Wikipedia, at http://ws2005.wikisym.org . The whole 
symposium has been documented on a wiki, so you can learn about the 
results of workshops and BoFs, and how the talks, panels, etc. went!

Wikis are are a new breed of (web-based) content management system, 
primarily used to support collaborative work. (But not just that; the 
fundamental flexibility of wikis has found its applications in 
software development, workflow management, knowledge management, 
education, and more.)

If you are curious now, we would like to invite you to join the 
wikisym-announce mailing list at 
www.wikisym.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/wikisym-announce . The list 
is moderated and will be the primary place to announce WikiSym 2006, 
the 2006 International Symposium on Wikis, to be held in the 2nd half of 2006.

WikiSym 2005 is an archival, peer-reviewed conference, sponsored by the ACM.

For the WikiSym 2005 committee,

Dirk Riehle
Chair, WikiSym 2005
