Both a scientific conference and a community event, Wikimania brought together members of the various Wikimedia projects in order to exchange ideas, build relationships, and report on research and project efforts. It also provided an opportunity for Wikimedians and the general public alike to meet and share ideas about free and open source software, free knowledge initiatives, and wiki projects worldwide.

If you already have a visa and need to enter the US, make sure it will not expire before you use it to apply for admission (entry) at the port. Citizens of the following 27 countries do not need a visa to enter the US for tourism or business for stays of 90 days or less [1]: {| width=80% border=1 border-collapse=collapse style="border-collapse:collapse;" |- align=center || Andorra || Iceland || Norway |- align=center || Australia || Ireland || Portugal |- align=center || Austria || Italy || San Marino |- align=center || Belgium || Japan || Singapore |- align=center || Brunei || Liechtenstein || Slovenia |- align=center || Denmark || Luxembourg || Spain |- align=center || Finland || Monaco || Sweden |- align=center || France || the Netherlands || Switzerland |- align=center || Germany || New Zealand || United Kingdom |} [1] Providing you meet the visa waiver criteria: : a) You must have a machine-readable passport (this means it should have a line of chevrons (e.g., '''<tt><<< </tt>''') valid for six months past your expected stay in the U.S. : b) Any passport '''issued after October 26, 2005''' must include a '''digital photo'''. : c) You must have a ticket going out of the US. I.e. only a one-way ticket into the US is not sufficient. == Information for Canadians == Canadian citizens generally do not need either visa or passport to enter the US. All travelers should bring evidence of their identity (e.g., a government photo-id) and citizenship (e.g., a passport; or a birth or citizenship certificate). Fiancees of US citizens, or spouses of US permanent residents, may need a visa even if they are Canadian citizens &mdash; especially if they are coming to the US to await final immigration status. For details, see [http://www.usembassycanada.gov usembassycanada.gov]. == Getting a visa == To get a visa, contact the nearest US Embassy, Consulate, or other authorized institute to find out how long the process will take (generally anywhere from 3 to 45 days). A list of U.S. Embassies can be found at [http://travel.state.gov/travel/tips/embassies/embassies_1214.html travel.state.gov]. Approximate wait times can be found [http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/wait/tempvisitors_wait.php here]. More information can also be found at [http://www.unitedstatesvisas.gov/ http://www.unitedstatesvisas.gov]. Some guidelines for painless visa processing: * Ask us for a letter of invitation during registration (it's a checkbox on the form). * Start applying for a visa early, ideally 4+ months in advance. The basic visa process will not take this long, but you will want time to resubmit the application if necessary, and to buy your tickets after the visa has been granted. * Prepare for your visa interview/application. You should have *# Your entire travel itinerary, from when you leave your country to when you return *#: Note that your travel plans depend upon early approval of the visa application *# Your invitation, and printed information about the conference *#: If you are getting financial support to attend the conference, make sure you have printed documentation of this as well. *# Proof of association with Wikimania (information about you as a researcher, wiki-developer, Wikipedian, &c.) *# Evidence that you will return home -- that is, of "binding or sufficient" ties to your home country (normally your country of residence). Useful examples include: *#* evidence of family ties in your home country *#* evidence of property ownership *#* evidence/statements of bank accounts *#* an employment contract or letter from an employer demonstrating you have employment beyond the end of your trip *#* evidence of attending school, or a letter from a school official demonstrating you will be a student there beyond the end of your trip == Getting visa help == A letter of invitation alone does not guarantee you will be issued a visa. If you have followed the above steps, and your visa application is rejected, ''let us know immediately''. Immigration officials in Massachusetts will contact your embassy to try to overturn the rejection. If you cannot afford the cost of visas or related fees, let us know. Financial assistance may be available. {{main-footer}} <!-- ''See also the similar travel.state.gov summary and that for Neuroscience 2004'' :'''Update''' from Neuroscience 2005 (35,000-person conference): they had some trouble in 2004 with Canadian nationals from China, et al (not from Chinese citizens living in China, nor attendees from the mid-east).

''Note that in the final version, the logo in the upper-left corner of the page, above the navigation pane, may (or may not) be different.'' Wikimania is an annual international conference devoted to [http://wikipedia.org/ Wikipedia] and the [http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Home Wikimedia Foundation] projects. Wikimania is both a scientific conference and a community event, bringing together the various Wikimedia projects. It's an opportunity for Wikipedians to meet each other, exchange ideas, and report on research and projects, as well as a chance for Wikipedians and the general public to meet and interact. Wikimania will also provide an opportunity to meet and talk with people at the forefront of the Wikimedia communities and wiki software development. As well as being a forum for research and ideas about the Wikimedia Foundation projects, Wikimania will bring together those interested in free and open source software, free knowledge initiatives, and other wiki projects worldwide. Wikimania will serve as a venue for people across fields, including software and hardware development, library and information science, knowledge management, journalism, law, policy, and education to share ideas about the future of free knowledge and open-source content projects. == Location == Wikimania 2006 will be held from August 4th through August 6th in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge,_Massachusetts Cambridge, Massachusetts], on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_Law_School Harvard Law School] campus. Cambridge is located in the greater Boston area. There are a wealth of recreational activities and cultural and historical sites nearby. Several optional field trips will be offered alongside the conference. <!-- [[Image:Logo colors wikimedia.png|left]] --> 196116809569233407554 == Call for Participation== We are currently accepting submissions for papers, posters, presentations, workshops, discussion groups and speaker panels, as well as suggestions for other activities.

That's one of the cheapest ways to travel between New York and Boston. They usually leave almost every hour. It's about a 4 hour trip by bus or car from New York to Boston. [http://www.fungwahbus.com/ticket/ Fung Wah] and [http://www.luckystarbus.com/ Lucky Star] are two of the companies with inexpensive tickets. Many people recommend traveling that way.

Click on the esaver fare icon on the home page of the greyhound website.[http://www.greyhound.com/ticketcenter/etickets.shtml ===Amsterdam, Schiphol=== etc... That way people could determine what flight they should book. Especially when some flightcompanies give reduction (NY is often in reduction, now untill june 16. for about a hundred bugs less then usually) This would make searching more easely. We could offer the agency that makes the efford to do this a source-notification, with them we could call it (just to them) a advert :P. Some idea?

Wikimania is een jaarlijkse internationale conferentie gewijd aan [http://wikipedia.org Wikipedia] en de overige [http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Home Wikimedia Foundation]-projecten. Wikimania is zowel een wetenschappelijke conferentie als een gemeenschapsevenement, de verscheidene Wikimediaprojecten samenbrengend. Het is zowel een gelegenheid voor Wikianen om elkaar te ontmoeten, ideeën uit te wisselen en te rapporteren over onderzoek en projecten, als een kans voor Wikianen en het publiek om elkaar te ontmoeten. Wikimania zal tevens een mogelijkheid bieden om mensen aan de frontlinie van Wikimedia-comitees te ontmoeten en met hen te praten. Net zoals het een forum is voor onderzoek en ideeën over de Wikimedia Foundation-projecten, zal Wikimania geïnteresseerden in vrije en open software, vrije kennis-initiatieven en andere Wiki-projecten over de hele wereld samenbrengen. Wikimania zal dienen als een platform voor mensen uit alle werkgebieden, waaronder soft- en hardwareontwikkeling, bibliotheek en informatiewetenschap, kennismanagement, journalistiek, de wet, beleid en onderwijs om ideeën te delen over de toekomst van vrije kennis en open-source inhoudprojecten. == Locatie == Wikimania 2006 zal gehouden worden van 4 tot 6 augustus 2006 in [http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge_(Massachusetts) Cambridge (Massachusetts)] (USA) op de campus van de [http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard-universiteit Harvard-universiteit]. Cambridge ligt in de Boston-agglomeratie. Er is een rijkdom aan recreationele activiteiten en culturele en historische locaties nabij. Diverse optionele tochten zullen worden aangeboden naast de conferentie. == Wikimania 2005 == De conferentie van vorig jaar, WIkimania 2005, was georganiseerd in Frankfurt am Main, Duitsland. Het was een internationaal succes, met 380 deelnemers uit 50 landen. De website van Wikimania 2005 is gearchiveerd op [[m:Wikimania_2005:Main Page|de Meta-wiki]], en zijn online voortgangen kunnen [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Transwiki:Wikimania05 hier] worden teruggevonden.

If you are planning a trip around Wikimania, and would like company, note your general route and timeline. If you are interested in sharing a rental car, note where you are coming from. And if you live near Cambridge and can put up visitors around the conference dates, note this and what languages your household knows, if appropriate :) =='''How to Get to the Conference'''== See [[Getting to and around Cambridge]]! == Driving == Harvard Law School has decent [http://www.law.harvard.edu/about/directions.php driving directions]. For those of you bringing cars, be aware that '''parking is not readily available around Harvard Square'''. Street parking is often very difficult to find. Most of it is limited to 2 hours, metered, or requires a Cambridge parking permit. Parking garages are available near the square, but they can be expensive. Another option is to park at one of the MBTA park and ride garages and take the subway from there. These often fill up on weekday mornings but are generally available over the weekend and cost $5 per day. The one at [[W:Alewife (MBTA station)|Alewife station]] is particularly convenient. It is just three stops on the Red Line from Harvard station (take Inbound). From the Massachusetts Turnpike, take I-95 north to the Route 2 east exit and follow Route 2 to exit 61. For those of you staying near Harvard, it might be better to take public transportation or to walk to the university than to try to drive.

You have to reserve these rooms through us (via the [http://wm06reg.wikimedia.org registration form]). Please note that these are no-frills rooms.

These can be easily purchased in Harvard Square (see [[Venue]]) '''The dorm rooms are without air conditioning''', but all of the rooms we will use will each have a large electric fan. All dorm rooms are no smoking. However some relief from the heat is available at Harkness commons nearby. The dorm rooms have working phone jacks, but no telephones. If you do bring a telephone of your own (or purchase one at a nearby store), you will need to dial a 9 to get off-campus. Phones are restricted to local calls and toll-free calls to calling cards to make long-distance calls. Free and open wifi will be available through the Harvard campus network. Wifi instructions are at [[Accessing the Internet]]. More information is available [http://www.law.harvard.edu/students/housing/dorms/gropius.php here]. We have uploaded a handbook describing the specific dorm room amenities and policies regarding Wikimania [http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/home/events/wikimania/lodging here], which we strongly encourage you to read in advance. The handbook goes into greater detail about emergency contacts, facilities such as kitchens, etc. Erica George of the Berkman Center is coordinating all Wikimania lodging at the HLS dorms. Please contact her directly if you have questions or if you will be arriving at HLS outside the hours listed for check-ins in the "Updated" section below. (Don't worry, we WILL be able to accomodate whatever time you need to arrive, we just need to know when to expect you to tell you where to go.) Erica can be reached at egeorge AT cyber.law.harvard.edu. Please email Erica rather than calling. Please be patient as it may take her a day to respond due to the volume of inquiries. ''Please do *not* contact the HLS dormitory office directly.'' If you would like to add lodging to a pre-exisiting Wikimania registration, please email Austin Hair at ahair AT wikimedia.org. HLS dorm rooms are unfortunately not available to anyone wishing to stay in Boston the night of August 7. The last Wikimania lodgers must check out of the dorms no later than 11 am on Monday August 7. '''PLEASE CHECK OUT AT THE REGISTRATION DESK, POUND SECOND FLOOR, BY 11 AM ON THE DAY YOU ARE LEAVING THE DORMS.''' Erica and Austin sent an information email to all attendees, including all lodgers at the HLS dorms, this past weekend. If you did not get this email, we may not have you listed as staying in the dorms, so please contact Austin ASAP. If you need further information and do not find it here, please email Erica. The new official Berkman Center address, for those who need it for their paperwork on entering the US, is: Berkman Center for Internet & Society Harvard Law School 23 Everett Street, Second Floor Cambridge, MA 02138 ''(note that this is not the actual street address of the dorms proper)'' Ames Hall is located at 20 Everett Street. Dane Hall is located at 22 Everett Street. The buildings are connected through shared doorways.

Lopatin's compositions attempt find the whimsy of a New Romantic inside improvisational, recursive noiseplay.

[[User:Roadrunner|Roadrunner]] 18:12, 24 June 2006 (UTC) :* Wow that'd be awesome. I mean, the basic answer is because they want to control people and the information they get, but delving a little deeper into that could be very interesting. ::* It's actually more complex. I don't actually think that controlling the information that people get is main purpose of the firewall. There are two more basic reasons that it exists. For what they are - see my talk :-) :-) [[User:Roadrunner|Roadrunner]] 18:06, 2 July 2006 (UTC) ::* One thing that I think would be useful product of Wikimania is a practical wikibook howto on 1) getting around the Chinese firewall if you are in China and 2) making sure that your content isn't blocked by the Chinese firewall if you are on the outside. [[User:Roadrunner|Roadrunner]] 05:39, 3 July 2006 (UTC) :* Roadrunner, good idea. We can speculate and debate about the "purpose" per se, and it would be lively. But as for nuts and bolts - for a while I've wanted to talk about how to deal with blocks of Wikipedia, and this should be the perfect venue. Should we coordinate? I've got a list of "Seven Methods" of dealing with the block. -- [[User:Fuzheado|Fuzheado]] 04:36, 28 July 2006 (UTC) :* Sure. What I can talk about is the socio-political context of the blocks, and you can talk about how to get around them. The socio-poltical context is very important since it limits what the Chinese government can/can't do. Also, once you have an idea of the socio-political context, you can figure out that if the Chinese government is trying to do X, then its reaction to Y would be Z.

OpenWetWare started in an MIT Biology lab one year ago and has grown to include 60 academic labs from 24 institutions around the world.

The [http://www.erh.noaa.gov/ifps/MapClick.php?CityName=Cambridge&state=MA&site=BOX Cambridge] page could be quite useful. Because the weather in New England seems to be so unusual this summer, it's difficult to predict what it might do in July and August just yet. Some Augusts are very hot with temperatures ranging in the 90s F (30s C?) and humidity between 60% and 90%. Some are not so bad. == Public Transit and Parking == ''See main article [[Getting to and around Cambridge]].'' Public transit is $1.25 for subways and $0.90 for busses. Busses require exact change, but will take dollar bills. Subways use tokens but are in the middle of a transition to a stored value card system. Stored value cards for both the busses and the subways are available at the MIT/Kendall red line station, but not the Harvard station, which only accepts tokens. The Harvard venues are located near Harvard station. The MIT venues are located near the MIT/Kendall station. Trains run until about 12:30 in the morning. Driving is not really advised because parking is tricky, but if you must ... Most of the parking near Harvard and Kendall Squares are metered and/or residential permit spaces. Meters are usually in effect during business hours. In some areas, that's 8 am to 6 pm; in others, that's 8 am to 8 pm. Make sure you read the signs and the fine print on the meters. Some metered spaces become residential permit spaces after business hours. Bring quarters. (There are many local banks in the area that will happily sell you a roll of quarters ($10).) Many meters will only take quarters. The amounts vary. In some places, 4 quarters will pay for an hour; in others, two quarters will pay for an hour. Meters are free on Sundays. Parking is available in public garages near the buildings on both MIT and Harvard campuses. It costs around $12/day. --- NO LONGER AVAILABLE: There is some limited parking available in one of the Harvard lots at a rate of $9 per day. E-mail Erica George <egeorge @ cyber.law.harvard.edu> with a contact number and she'll call you about arranging a permit. You will need to have a credit card handy for her to call you to bill the permit to, and will need to be able to give her your car's plate number and state. --- About twenty spaces on [http://map.harvard.edu/level3.cfm?mapname=camb_allston&tile=F6&quadrant=D&series=M Kirkland Street] near campus do not require a permit. These spaces are usually taken during the day, but may be empty at night. Move your car there when you can. They're a 5-15 minute walk from the Law School depending on your pace. Cambridge has a rule about not leaving your car in the same metered spot for longer than 2 consecutive hours. Moving it up or back a few spaces will work. If your car is in a rare non-permit-restricted and non-metered space, you should still move it every 24 hours to be on the safe side. Many free spaces are available a 15-30 minute walk away in Somerville near the border with Cambridge along Scott and Park Streets. That intersection is northeast of Harvard Law School.

Somerville requires vehicle owners to move their cars at least every 48 hours. Not doing so will result in a parking ticket. Pay attention to the street cleaning and other parking signs. Generally, areas will be marked with various signs explaining most of the parking regulations. Street cleaning is often, but not always, from 8 am until 12 or 2 pm. Cambridge is tough. The police and meter enforcers like to tow cars. Towing costs about $95 plus the charge of the ticket. Somerville usually just tickets, but will tow if a car is violating a street sweeping regulation. As with many areas, parking on the street is generally safe. Please don't leave valuables in your vehicle, especially in plain sight. Car break-ins are frequent. Fancy radios are a hot item to steal. Also, it is possible to park in many garages of the [http://www.mbta.com/ MBTA], the local public transit company. During the day, some people prefer to park at Alewife near the intersection of Route 2 and Route 16 for $5 per day and ride the subway four stops to Harvard Square. == Food == Basic campus meals are available at Harkess Commons near the dorms on weekdays only, 7:30 am til 4:00 pm. Many restaurants are available in Harvard and Kendall Squares, and at several restaurants along Massachusetts Ave. near the law school. At MIT, food is also available from the student center, at La Verde's and the Coffeehouse. At Harvard, weekday morning breakfast food is available until 10:30 am from the Harkness Commons, adjacent to Pound Hall, although it is occupied during lunch hours by another group.

Measures, styles, community dynamics. * Policy and organization - How democratic should Wikimedia and its projects be? What is best for the goals we are trying to reach? Dictatorship, Anarchy, Regulated democracy, something else? Some merge? * Policies: the why and how of their creation, and how they should be applied. * Conflict resolution - How should conflicts be solved? Should it work through an arbcom, by direct community decision? How should such an arbcom work, what demands should its members fulfill? What are the experiences of the arbcom-members? Some exchange of experience and advice should take place. * How to give a good Wikipedia presentation -- how to give a great presentation on the projects to (any random group of people); resources to use. * Wikimedia and open courseware -- How do we make wikimedia "academically respectable"? How do we get around issues of the non-commercial tag? What can we do to cooperate with MIT OCW? == Birds of a Feather Topics == List below topics that we might use for <!-- an [http://www.co-intelligence.org/P-Openspace.html Open Space] --> "birds of a feather" sessions at Wikimania. This time is an opportunity to catch new or abstract projects and connections and opportunities that noone is talking about yet. Many of these discussions will be organized, and topics chosen, organically after the conference begins. New topics will be suggested then as well; brainstorming on-wiki is simply another way to help develop ideas. * Wikis and social structure -- moving towards a new type of community * The transparent society * Editing and versioning the physical world * What is truth, how we can best approach it, how to recognize it. * Moral obligation - Should Wikipedia only take care of its own existance, is Wikipedia there only to be Wikipedia, or is there a broader responsibility? Does Wikipedia have a social responsibility to the people using it and thinking it is true, has Wikipedia a responsibility to teach people, or to tell them stories by "dictatures" are not true, how should we see ourselves in this world? How big is our responsibility, how big do we want it to be? * Gender and Wikimedia -- why the gender disparity on the projects? (is it true?) Does this hurt content? What can be done? * Commons: Seperate project or media repository? * Constructed languages in Wikipedia * New wikiprojects -- Chinese law? Quantitative finance? * Global digital divide -- Representation on wikipedia by less developed countries * Wikipedia mainstreaming -- What happens when wikipedia becomes mainstream enough to attract representatives of companies, governments, etc. etc? What should Wikipedia do about PR firms? * Who does wikipedia? Do we have statistical data on who is on wikipedia? * Wikimedia & Google -- Is a partnership between the two popular internet organizations possible? How would it benefit both companies? * SisterSites - the value of linking to same-name pages on other wikis, how to do it, and a coding sprint to implement it for MediaWiki and other wikis ==Panels== * Criticism of Wiki[p]edia -- why it can't work, why it doesn't work, why it hasn't worked so far; preferably constructive criticism with examples of better systems and community structures. ==Organizational use of wikis== There are already panels around this subject. What I miss there is use of a wiki in software engineering projects. SW engineers and designers currently work on individual documents that they are responsible for. Therefore nobody else feels the need to make improvements in these documents, which are of coure abundant during the project. How would this be different when a wiki was used for sw design and documentation during the sw product lifecycle? ==Workshops== *Workshop making tools (like popup) and adapting other people's tools to your wishes. *How to make a pretty page? How can I let an article or my userpage look great, what are the possibilities in wiki-makeup? should there be extensions in the software for this? *How each project works (fill in a projectname like Wikimedia Commons, Wiktionary etc) - Explain how people can add their information best, how policy works somehow, and EDIT! *Media - Workshop editing image-material and sound-material to improve quality or to merge pictures etc by a freesource (or at least fréé) program. The target of this workshop would be to have more people able to edit pictures when they are home and downloaded some edit-program. *Research 101 - Workshop finding information, especially free and/or trusted! Where can I search information about certain topics, in certain languages. *Search 101 - Combined Workshop and discussion - How to search in Wikipedia? First some ideas are stated, some tools are listed, and tried. Next people should discuss their pros and cons, how they could be improved, and if one or some of them should be implemented in the search-functionality of mediawiki. ==Presentations== * For what kind of targets is a wiki usable? What are the experiences of others for using a Wiki? Are there any demands to start a wiki-like subject or community? etc. What works, and what won't? * What are those people in that OFFICE doing all the time? How is their way of work? Who are they? etc. * Fiduciary responsibility and authority * Sockpuppets, trolls, takeovers by enemies, takedown of the servers by court. What are the disastrous ending-possibilities of the Wikimedia-success story, and how can we (try to) prevent it.

Wikimania è la conferenza annuale internazionale dedicata a [http://wikipedia.org/ Wikipedia] e ai progetti della [http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Home Wikimedia Foundation]. Wikimania è sia una conferenza scientifica che un evento per la comunità, per riunire insieme i vari progetti Wikimedia. È un'opportunità per i wikipediani di incontrarsi, scambiarsi idee e notizie sulla ricerca e sui progetti, nonché un'occasione per i wikipediani e il pubblico di incontrarsi e interagire. Wikimania fornirà anche l'opportunità per incontrarsi e parlare con le persone in prima linea nelle comunità Wikimedia e nello sviluppo del software wiki. Oltre ad essere un momento di discussione sulla ricerca e sulle idee sui progetti della Wikimedia Foundations, Wikimania riunirà coloro che sono interessati al software libero e open source, alle iniziative di conoscenza libera e ad altri progetti wiki sparsi nel mondo. Wikimania sarà il luogo di ritrovo per persone dagli interessi trasversali, che comprendano lo sviluppo di hardware e software, biblioteche e scienze dell'informazione, gestione del sapere, giornalismo, legge, politica e istruzione, per condividere idee sul futuro della conoscenza libera e dei pogetti a contenuto open-source. == Luoghi == Wikimania 2006 si terrà dal 4 al 6 agosto a [[w:Cambridge, Massachusetts|Cambridge (in Massachusetts)]], nel campus della [[w:Harvard Law School|scuola di legge di Harvard]]. Cambridge è situata nell'area metropolitana di Boston, sulla sponda occidentale del [[w:Charles River|fiume Charles]]. Nei dintorni ci sono molte attività ricreative e siti culturali e storici. A latere della conferenza verranno offerte gite di diverso tipo. == Call for Participation== La scadenza per la sottomissione libera di workshop e presentazioni è passata. Grazie a tutti coloro che hanno inviato i loro lavori e idee. Al momento stiamo accettando le proposte dei membri della comunità wikimediana sui progetti Wikimedia e sul loro contenuto; ulteriori informazioni sono disponibili alla pagina [[Call_for_participation/it|Call for Participation]]. == Gli archivi di Wikimania 2005 == La conferenza dello scorso anno si è tenuto a [[w:it:Francoforte sul Meno|Francoforte sul Meno]] in Germania.

We will start out with some initial ruleset (yet to be described), and then people will yell out a rule each time they hand off the ball. Unless they get tackled before that happens, in which case they won't. Provided that tackeling is permitted by the rules, which it may or may not be. * [http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Nook/2990/cb_rules.htm here's some interesting rules].

The subway in Boston and Cambridge is called the "T". If you are trying to find a subway station, look for a big black letter T against a white background. Most Cambridge stops, including Harvard Square, are on the [[w:Red Line (MBTA)|Red Line]]. Hours of operation are roughly 5:20 am (6 am on Sundays) to a little after midnight. (The last outbound trains leave Park Street in Boston at about 12:45 am.) Harvard University is located on the subway's Red Line at [[W:Harvard (MBTA station)|Harvard station]]. Pound Hall, the main Wikimania venue, is located at 1563 Massachusetts Avenue, a few blocks north on Massachusetts Avenue from Harvard Square. Pound Hall is the large building on the right-hand (east) side of the street. [http://www.law.harvard.edu/about/tour/pound.php] MIT is located a modest walk from the [[W:Kendall (MBTA station)|Kendall/MIT]] stop on the Red line. The Red Line goes to or through many major points in Cambridge and Boston. Subway fare is $1.25. Bus fare is 90 cents. Buses require exact change, though many people give the driver $1 and receive no change. Subway stations have booths where you can get change. It is easiest to have exact change available. If you are going to be traveling by subway or bus frequently, it might be smart to buy some rolls of coins from a bank. The MBTA is introducing a new payment system called the ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CharlieCard Charlie ticket]'' that can be used for multiple rides. Not all stations accept them at the present time, however. Therefore, it is advisable to buy your tokens or passes at each station instead of loading up. There is a 3 day visitors pass that gives unlimited travel for US$18. This saves money on trip #15 which you will only do if you play hookey from the conference. You don't want to be cast into OuterWikiDarkness do you? A brief list of the most popular stations you will use and what they take: *South Station: Charlie Ticket ONLY (tokens can be exchanged at vending machines) *Harvard Station: Tokens and Monthy Passes ONLY *Kendall Station: Charlie Ticket ONLY (tokens can be exchanged at vending machines) Some stations, like Government Center, have lots of stairs--elevators or escalators may be hard to find or out of order. The subway is usually pretty safe. It is always a good idea to keep your baggage very close to you and an eye on your belongings. Remember to take all of your personal items with you when you leave the trains. === Getting to Harvard and MIT from Logan Airport=== ''Due to problems with the Big Dig's I-90 tunnel, use of public transportation to and from the airport is strongly advised.'' ====Method 1 - Recommended subway route==== [[Image:QuickTmap.png|thumb|Map that routes and highlights location of T, Pound Hall, and 23 Everett St (check-in for Lodging)]] [[Image:Rightdirection.jpg|thumb|Check out the big blue mailbox, right out of the T; either go straight down the road for the direct route or turn into the gates, for the scenic route.]]Look for special '''Silver Line ''bus stops''''' at the curb outside the terminal, at the far end in the direction of traffic flow. Note that there are two stops at Terminal B and the Terminal C stop (next to the [[w:AirTran]] airline check-in desk) also serves nearby Terminal D. The Silver Line will then take you to South Station, where you can transfer (for free) to the Red Line. * To get to Harvard, take the '''Red Line Inbound''' towards '''Alewife''' (not toward Braintree or Ashmont) : Double check - once you get into the subway-train-platform, you will see maps on the walls adjacent to the trains --- make sure Harvard is a destination on the map. After six stops and get off at '''Harvard Square''' stop. To get to the law school, follow [[Getting to and around Cambridge#Making it to your Final Destination|these directions]] ::: Once you arrive at Harvard station, take the exit towards '''Harvard Yard'''; climb up the stairs, and you should see a T-Mobile and The Body Shop (perchance popular chain stores farmiliar to you) to your left and a giant brick walled structure with ornate iron fencing to your right. You can continue down the streetside (hot and unshaded by big trees) or walk into these brick gates (a shaded sanctuary from the sun), where the first building you'd see is called '''Harvard,''' to your left. Following that will be a bunch of residence halls, and as you head north along the routed map shown, you will eventually come to a grassy intersection. Follow the red-brushed road on the line in the map shown. (See also the aerial view version below...) * OR, if you're going to MIT, take the Red Line Inbound towards "Alewife" as above but get off at the Kendall/MIT stop (two stops before Harvard). Silver Line and subway '''fare is $1.25'''; the subway fares are '''flat fees,''' independent of distance traveled. You will need exact change to board the Silver Line at the Airport. The trip from and to the airport by subway may take 45 minutes to an hour, including the time spent waiting for the trains. The Silver Line, a bus with its own private tunnels, was redirected due to repairs to the I-90 Ted Williams Tunnel. As of Sunday July 30, the MBTA reports that service to and from the airport is running on a 10 minute interval (however, if you arrive at 5:30 AM EST, you may have to wait until 6:20 or so before a Silver Line arrives due to shortage of driver staff --- traffic is usually sparse in the early morning, however, the transfer to the Red Line my also result in subway train delay, perhaps due to the same reason). ====Method 2 - Less direct subway route==== Should there be new difficulties with the Silver Line, the following alternate subway route works pretty well: A less direct way to get to Cambridge from Logan Airport by subway is to take the inbound Blue Line from the Airport station to either the Orange Line (State Street) or Green Line (Government Center) and transfer, then take either color to a station to transfer to the Red Line (at Downtown Crossing via Orange Line, at Park Street via Green Line). Massport, the agency that runs the airport, offers complimentary shuttle bus service between airline terminals and the Airport station on the Blue Line daily from 4 am to 1 am. [http://www.massport.com/logan/getti_typeo_logans.html] ====Method 3 - Taxicab ==== A taxi ride from Logan Airport to Harvard Square will take about a half hour and cost about $35. Agents for unlicensed taxis sometimes (illegally) try to snare travelers walking through the terminal ("Excuse me, do you need a taxi?") Ignore them and look for signs saying "TAXI" to find the official taxi stand. Be warned that a taxi ride from Harvard Square back to the airport may take an hour or more, depending on traffic, because a recent Big Dig tunnel collapse has caused major bottlenecks. Specifically: there will be a long 1-lane tunnel span, which might choke up during traffic hour. Public transportation, e.g., the Silver Line bus, has its own private tunnel adjacent to the auto traffic; see Method 1 above. === Traveling from South Station=== [[w:South Station]] is Boston's main terminal for intercity buses and trains (all [http://www.amtrak.com/ Amtrak] service, except from Maine, as well as commuter rail from the south and west). It is also a stop on the Red Line, which is the main subway line that goes through Cambridge. To get to Harvard Square from South Station, follow signs to the subway. The walk within South Station from the trains and buses to the subway is about five minutes, so plan your luggage accordingly. There is an elevator to the subway in the corridor behind the Amtrak information booth. Fare is $1.25. Take a train Inbound toward Alewife and get off at Harvard station. Travel time is about twenty to thirty minutes. Note that the MBTA has increased weekday and weekend commuter rail service between South Station and Providence, RI, effective July 24. === Traveling from North Station=== Some commuter rail lines and all Amtrak trains from Maine only stop at North Station. You can board the Inbound Orange Line subway there and transfer to the Red Line at Downtown Crossing. From there, take an "inbound" Red Line train to Harvard Square station; it's a free transfer. === Traveling between Harvard and MIT=== From Harvard: Take the T INBOUND (the lower level) to Kendall/MIT. It'll be easiest if you go out the exit closest to the chimes, which will take you to an area with benches and trees. Go around to the other side of the building you just came out of, and you will be on Main St.--1 Cambridge Center is just across the St. If you get out at the other exit, you'll still be on Main St., just a bit further down--look for the huge Cambridge Center banners, the MIT Coop, or the MIT Press to find Cambridge Center close by. From MIT: Take the T OUTBOUND--'''attention: the Kendall Square station's two tracks are NOT connected. To go Outbound, you MUST go downstairs through the entrance labeled Outbound, which on the side of Cambridge Center'''--to Harvard Sq. Take the exit closest to you and follow below instructions to get to Harvard Law. ===Accessibility=== The Silver Line, South Station and Harvard Station are wheelchair accessible. It's best to check with the MBTA to make sure all elevators are in service. See [[w:MBTA accessibility]] for more information. ==Driving in Cambridge== Public transportation is a much better option than coping with Cambridge's one-way streets and expensive parking. If you want to park near the Law School, one option is to arrive early enough to find a space at a meter on Mass. Ave. Many side streets have signs that say parking is for residents only--without a current Cambridge resident sticker, you will be ticketed. Be aware that the nearby parking meters have two hours limits so your car must be moved every two hours. Parking enforcement is intensive in the Harvard Square area and cars are marked and then ticketed if they have not moved in two hours, even if more coins have been put in the meter. Meters take US quarters only. We strongly advise that you not count on metered parking. On Sunday, however, meters and resident parking rules are not in effect, so driving is more of an option. Harvard Law School has driving directions available on its website: [http://www.law.harvard.edu/about/directions.php] Perhaps the best option is to park at one of the MBTA park and ride garages and take the subway from there. These often fill up on weekday mornings but are generally available over the weekend and cost $5 per day. The one at [[W:Alewife (MBTA station)|Alewife station]] is particularly convenient. It is just three stops on the Red Line from Harvard station. From the Massachusetts Turnpike, take I-95 north to the Route 2 east exit and follow Route 2 to exit 61. == Taxis== Taxis are readily available at the airport. Agents for unlicensed taxis sometimes (illegally) try to snare travelers walking through the terminal ("Excuse me, do you need a taxi?") Ignore them and follow signs saying "TAXI" to find the official taxi stand. A taxi ride from Logan Airport to Harvard Square will cost around $40, including the tip (usually a bit more than 10%). UPDATE: The new "Big Dig" tunnel connecting the Mass Pike to Logan was closed indefinitely, after a fatal [[w:Big_dig#Big_Dig_tunnel_ceiling_collapse|ceiling collapse]] on July 10, 2006. Getting to Cambridge by taxi is no problem, but getting back from Cambridge to the airport now takes longer (and costs more) than the reverse trip. So bear this in mind when planning your departure. Your best option for finding a taxicab in Cambridge is to look for a taxi stand (near any subway station) or to telephone one of the local cab companies such as Ambassador Brattle (617-492-1100) or Checker (617-497-9000.) It is only occasionally possible to flag one down on the street. To get to the main conference, you should ask the taxi drivers to take you to Harvard Square, at which point please follow the "Getting to Harvard Law from Harvard Sq." instructions! To get to Hacking Days, ask for 1 Cambridge Center. ==Making it to your Final Destination== ===Getting to Pound Hall (reg. desk for Thursday-Sunday) from Harvard Square=== If you took the T to Harvard, there will be two ways to exit the station. The one closer (by about half a block) to Pound Hall has stairs and an escalator roughly in the middle of the platform you arrived on. These take you to a mezzanine level where there are stairs to both sides of Massachusetts Avenue, either at or across from a Finagle-a-Bagel shop. The other exit requires you to walk to the end of the platform and follow a ramp to a large lobby. This is the only wheelchair-accessible exit. There are escalators, stairs and an elevator from this lobby to the street. On the street, this exit is next to the Out of Town News stand and an information kiosk. There is also an office one level up on the way out where you can buy a "T" pass if you wish. [[Image:HarvardMap.jpg|right|thumb|A map with scenic path marked, (C)Google]] ====Direct route==== From the Finagle-a-Bagel exit: When you get to the mezzanine level turn right and go up the stairs. You will be next to Finagle-a-Bagel, on the west side of Massachusetts Avenue. Facing Finagle-a-Bagel, turn right and walk in this direction (north) along the west side of Massachusetts Avenue for several blocks. You will see a church on your left and then a large park (Cambridge Common). About half-way along the park you will see a cross walk where you can safely cross to the other side of Massachusetts Avenue. Do so and continue north to Pound Hall, 1563 Massachusetts Ave. It is a very square-ish building and will be on your right, a short distance in from the street. From the Out of Town News exit: Cross Massachusetts Avenue toward the Harvard Coop building and turn right. Walk in this direction (north) along the west side of Massachusetts Avenue. You will pass Finagle-a-Bagel on your left. Continue as per the directions above. From the bus stop: If you took the #1 bus to Harvard Sq., you will be dropped off at the Holyoke Gate to Harvard Yard. Cross Massachusetts Avenue toward Finagle-a-Bagel. Continue as per the directions above. ====Scenic route==== If you'd prefer a longer route that takes you through the Harvard campus and has fewer street crossings, follow these directions: From the subway's Out of Town News exit: Head north (towards the area that looks like Harvard instead of a commercial area) and enter Harvard Yard (the part of Harvard with the high fences) through any of the open gates. Keep walking north--you should pass the John Harvard statue across the yard on your right--until you exit the yard. At this point, you should see the Science Center in front of you (it's a modern, 70s spaceship-esque building with observatories on the roof). You should see a path that you can turn left onto, which curves and has a railing. Turn left here, and follow the path until it takes you to Pound Hall, 1563 Massachusetts Ave. It is a very square-ish building and will be on your right. [[Image:PoundHall.jpg|right|thumb|Pound Hall]] From the Finagle-a-Bagel exit: You should have gotten out of the T-station by taking a left and going upstairs (following the sign that says "Harvard Yard". If you didn't and you end up on the same side of the street as Finagle-a-Bagel, cross Massachusetts Ave. towards Harvard to get to the other side. You should be able to see a gate very closeby--this is Johnston Gate, main gate of Harvard, and you should walk through it and take a left as soon as you pass by the first cluster of dorm buildings. Keep walking north until you exit the yard. At this point, you should see the Science Center in front of you (it's a modern, 70s spaceship-esque building with observatories on the roof). You should see a path that you can turn left onto, which curves and has a railing. Turn left here, and follow the path until it takes you to Pound Hall, 1563 Massachusetts Ave. It is a very square-ish building and will be on your right. From the bus stop: If you took the #1 bus to Harvard Sq., you will be dropped off at Holyoke Gate. Go through the gate into Harvard Yard, and weave your way to the North-west corner of the Yard--easily done by going around Widener (the first building you will face) to the left, walking north (further away from the gate), turning left through a gap between the dorms and then turning right to exit the yard through the north. At this point, you should see the Science Center in front of you (it's a modern, 70s spaceship-esque building with observatories on the roof). You should see a path that you can turn left onto, which curves and has a railing. Turn left here, and follow the path until it takes you to Pound Hall, 1563 Massachusetts Ave. It is a very square-ish building and will be on your right. ===Getting to the Berkman Center (registration for Tuesday/Wednesday) from Harvard Square=== From the subway's Out of Town News exit: Cross Massachusetts Avenue toward the Harvard Coop building and turn right. Walk in this direction (north) along the west side of Massachusetts Avenue. You will pass Finagle-a-Bagel on your left. Continue up Mass Ave. (going north--make sure you stay on Mass Ave, which curves ridiculously) for several blocks. You will see a church on your left and then a large park (Cambridge Common). About half-way along the park you will see a cross walk where you can safely cross to the other side of Massachusetts Avenue. Do so and continue north until you get to Everett St., where you take a right. The Berkman Center is located at 23 Everett St., which is a cream colored building with a big white porch. We're on the second floor! From the Finagle-a-Bagel exit: Take a right out of the subway station ("To Church St.") and walk up Mass Ave. towards the park (Cambridge Common). About half-way along the park you will see a cross walk where you can safely cross to the other side of Massachusetts Avenue. Do so and continue north until you get to Everett St., where you take a right. The Berkman Center is located at 23 Everett St., which is a cream colored building with a big white porch. We're on the second floor! From the bus stop: If you took the #1 bus to Harvard Sq., you will be dropped off at Holyoke Gate. Follow Mass Ave. north (with the Church on your left and Harvard on your right) until you hit Everett St., and take a right. The Berkman Center is located at 23 Everett St., which is a cream colored building with a big white porch. We're on the second floor! ===Getting to Cambridge Center (Hacking Days) from Kendall Square=== Cambridge Center is a part of Main St., and 1 Cambridge Center is on the side with the MIT Coop, the Marriott, and the Outbound entrance for the subway. It is literally right next to the subway stop. == Walking== Cambridge and Boston are very walkable cities. Once you've arrived at your destination, you might find it easier to walk around than to try to take buses, the subway, or cabs. The Charles River has convenient shoreline paths and bridges near both Harvard and MIT. == Safety== Just how safe is Cambridge? Well, this area has a very low murder rate and attacks of people on the street are not very common. They do, however, happen occasionally, especially late at night. When you're walking around, particularly late at night, be smart. Stick to well-lit areas. Be aware of people around you. Keep an eye on your possessions. Travel with at least one other person whenever possible. Using the public transportation system or taxi cabs is very safe. Unlike some other cities, there isn't a rampant problem with pickpockets here. All the same, be smart, be aware of others around you, and make sure you have all of your personal belongings. == Need more information?== * [[wikitravel:Cambridge (Massachusetts)|Cambridge]] and [[wikitravel:Boston|Boston]] travel guides on [[wikitravel:Main Page|Wikitravel]] * Harvard Law School has [http://www.law.harvard.edu/about/directions.php directions and maps] showing how to get there from Logan Airport. * Harvard University has a [http://www.harvard.edu/community/transportation.html fantastic page filled with information about local travel], including some phone numbers for cab companies, information about parking, and more. * Harvard University also has [http://map.harvard.edu/mapindex.cfm?mapname=camb_allston maps] for its main Cambridge campus.

[wikimania-info_AT_wikimedia_DOT_org] * Iniziate la procedura di richiesta con parecchio anticipo, la cosa ideale sarebbe farlo con più di 4 mesi di anticipo. Il tempo normalemnte necessario per la procedura non è così lungo, ma in questo modo avrete tempo di inviare una seconda richiesta se ce ne fosse bisogno. E ricordati di acquistare i biglietti aerei solo dopo che è stato rilasciato il visto. * Preparati per l'intervista per il visto o per la domanda per il visto. Devi avere: *# Il tuo itinerario completo, da quando lasci la tua nazione fino a quando rientri nella tua nazione. *#: Nota che i tuoi progetti di viaggio dipendono da un approvazione in anticipo delle domanda di visto. *# Il tuo invito assieme a informazioni stampate sulla conferenza. *#: Se stai ricevendo un aiuto economico per partecipare alla conferenza, accertati di avere anche su questa cosa della documentazione scritta. *# Prove del tuo legame con Wikimania (informazioni su di te quale ricercatore, sviluppatore del software wiki, utente di Wikipedia (Wikipediano), ecc.) *# Prove che rendano evidente che tu ritornerai a casa tua &mdash; cioè devi mostrare che hai uno stretto legame con il paese dove vivi (di solito il pese della tua residenza). Tra gli esempi utili a tale riguardo ci sono: *#: * prove di legame familiare nel tuo paese *#: * prove di possesso di proprietà *#: * prove o copie di estratti conti di conti bancari *#: * un contratto di assunzione o una lettera del tuo datore di lavoro che dimostra che hai un contratto di lavoro che va oltre la data della fine del tuo viaggio *#: * prove che stai frequentando una scuola o una lettera di un membro di una scuola che dimostra che tu sari uno studente anche sopo il ritorno del tuo viaggio == Aiuto per otenere un visto == Una lettera di invito da sola non basta a garantire che ti verrà concesso un visto. Se hai seguito le istruzioni date qui sopra e la tua domanda di visto non è stata accettata , ''faccelo spare immediatamente''. Le persone che si occupano dei problemi dell'immigrazione nel Massachusetts contatterranno la tua ambasciata per cercare di ottenere l'annullamento del rigetto. Se non sei in grado di sostenere le spese economice relative al costo del visto e a spese correlate, faccelo sapere. Potrebbero essere disponibili degli aiuti finanziari in questo senso. 2030 2498 2006-05-23T18:13:24Z Sj 2 {{main-header}} __NOTOC__ <center><small>Other languages: {{visas-langs}}</small> <!-- ''Veja também o resumo na página travel.state.gov, assim como o resumo referente à Neuroscience 2004'' :'''Atualização''' (sobre a Neuroscience 2005 &mdash; conferência com 35 mil participantes): Houve problemas em 2004 com cidadãos canadenses residentes na China e similares (mas não com cidadãos chineses residentes na China ou participantes oriundos do Oriente Médio). Neste ano (2005), não houve problemas. :'''Atualização''' (da Al Teich @ AAAS) : Eles tiveram mais sorte nos últimos meses; 2002 foi o pior ano. Os únicos problemas significativos vieram do Irã, da Síria e de Cuba. --> == Quem precisa de visto para entrar nos Estados Unidos? == Se você não reside nos Estados Unidos, você pode precisar de um visto para entrar no país. Se você já possui visto, certifique-se de que ele não expirará antes do fim de sua viagem. Cidadãos dos seguintes 27 países não precisam de visto para entrar nos Estados Unidos[1]: {| width=80% border=1 border-collapse=collapse style="border-collapse:collapse;" |- align=center || Alemanha || Finlândia || Noruega |- align=center || Andorra || França || Nova Zelândia |- align=center || Austrália || Irlanda || Países Baixos (Holanda) |- align=center || Áustria || Islândia || Portugal |- align=center || Bélgica || Itália || Reino Unido |- align=center || Brunei || Japão || San Marino |- align=center || Dinamarca || Liechtenstein || Singapura |- align=center || Eslovênia || Luxemburgo || Suécia |- align=center || Espanha || Mônaco || Suíça |} [1] Se você está entre os casos em que o visto não é necessário: : a) Seu passaporte deve conter caracteres para leitura mecânica, o que significa que deve conter inscrições compostas por perfurações no papel (carats) (e.g., '''<tt><<< </tt>'''). : b) Passaportes emitidos '''após 26 de outubro de 2005''' devem conter '''foto digital'''. == Informações para canadenses == Cidadãos canadenses geralmente não precisam de visto ou passaporte para entrar nos Estados Unidos. Os viajantes devem trazer prova de identidade (e.g.: carteira de identidade oficial com foto) e de cidadania (e.g.: passaporte, certidão de nascimento ou certificado de cidadania). Noivos de cidadãos dos Estados Unidos e cônjuges de indivíduos com residência permanente no país podem precisar de visto para entrar, ainda que sejam cidadãos canadenses &mdash; especialmente se estiverem entrando no país para aguardar o desfecho de processo referente à imigração. Para mais detalhes, visite [http://www.usembassycanada.gov usembassycanada.gov]. == Obtendo o visto == Para obter visto para os Estados Unidos, contacte a embaixada dos Estados Unidos mais próxima e informe-se sobre a duração do processo (geralmente algo entre 3 e 45 dias). Períodos de espera aproximados podem ser encontrados na página [http://travel.state.gov/travel/tips/embassies/embassies_1214.html travel.state.gov]. Instruções para obtenção tranqüila de visto: * Peça-nos uma carta-convite o mais prontamente possível. [wikimania-info_AT_wikimedia_DOT_org] * Inicie de logo o processo para tirar o visto, idealmente com mais de quatro meses de antecedência. O processo básico para obtenção do visto não levará tanto tempo, mas você pode precisar de tempo para uma nova requisição caso seja necessário, além de poder comprar passagens aéreas apenas após a concessão do visto. * Prepare-se para entrevista/processo de requisição de visto. Você deve: *# Apresentar todo o seu itinerário de viajem, do momento em que deixará seu país até o retorno *#: Note que seus planos de viajem dependem da concessão antecipada do visto *# Apresentar sua carta-convite, e informações impressas sobre a conferência *#: Se você estiver recebendo auxílio financeiro para comparecer à conferência, certifique-se de imprimir a documentação comprobatória disto também. *# Apresentar provas de sua associação à Wikimania (informações sobre você como pesquisador, desenvolvedor da wiki, wikipedista, etc.) *# Apresentar provas de que você voltará para casa após a conferência -- isto é, "ligações suficientes" com o seu país de origem (normalmente o seu país de residência). Exemplos úteis incluem: *#: * prova de laços familiares em seu país de origem *#: * prova de que você tem patrimônio *#: * extratos bancários ou outras declarações bancárias *#: * contrato de trabalho ou carta de seu empregador, demonstrando que você possui emprego para o qual retornará após o fim de sua viajem *#: * prova de que freqüenta escola, ou carta de funcionário de escola, demonstrando que você estará matriculado naquela instituição após o fim de sua viajem == Obtendo ajuda para tirar visto == Uma carta-convite não garante, por si só, que você obterá visto para os Estados Unidos. Se você seguiu os passos descritos acima mas seu pedido de visto foi negado, ''informe-nos imediatamente''. Agentes da Imigração do estado de Massachusetts contactarão a sua embaixada e tentarão reverter a decisão. Se você não tem condições financeiras para cobrir os custos de obtenção de visto ou encargos relacionados, informe-nos. Talvez haja auxílio financeiro disponível. 2031 2500 2006-05-23T18:13:48Z Sj 2 {{main-header}} __NOTOC__ <center><small>Other languages: {{visas-langs}}</small> == Kto potrzebuje wizy amerykańskiej? == Jeśli nie jesteś rezydentem USA, możesz potrzebować wizy, aby wjechać do tego kraju. Jeśli już masz wizę upewnij się, że nie straci ona terminu ważności przed końcem Twojej podróży. Obywatele 27 wymienionych poniżej państw nie potrzebują wiz do wjazdu na teren USA[1]: {| width=80% border=1 border-collapse=collapse style="border-collapse:collapse;" |- align=center || Andorra || Iceland || Norway |- align=center || Australia || Ireland || Portugal |- align=center || Austria || Italy || San Marino |- align=center || Belgium || Japan || Singapore |- align=center || Brunei || Liechtenstein || Slovenia |- align=center || Denmark || Luxembourg || Spain |- align=center || Finland || Monaco || Sweden |- align=center || France || the Netherlands || Switzerland |- align=center || Germany || New Zealand || United Kingdom |} [1] Pod warunkiem, że spełniają kryteria ''visa waiver'': : a) muszą mieć paszport, spełniający normy maszynowego procesingu danych (w praktyce oznacza to, że powinien on zawierać tzw. linię z karatami: '''<tt><<< </tt>'''), : b) każdy paszport '''wydany po 26 października, 2005''' musi zawierać '''cyfrowe zdjęcie'''. == Otrzymywanie wizy w Polsce== Aby otrzymać wizę, skontaktuj się z najbliższym konsulatem USA. W Polsce sprawy wizowe województw przy południowej granicy załatwia Generalny Konsulat w Krakowie [http://krakow.usconsulate.gov/krakow-pl/], zaś resztę kraju obsługuje Ambasada USA w Warszawie [http://poland.usembassy.gov/poland-pl/]. Procedura otrzymania wizy (jakie druki należy wypełnić, jakie dokumenty należy mieć przy sobie itd.) jest szczegółowo opisana na stronie [http://poland.usembassy.gov/poland-pl/consular.html]. W przypadku wyjazdu na konferencję należy starać się o wizę typu B-1. W tym celu należy: *wypełnić i wydrukować formularz: [https://evisaforms.state.gov/ds156.asp?lang=5 DS-156] oraz, jeśli jest się mężczyzną w wieku 16-45 lat, dodatkowy formularz [http://warsaw.usembassy.gov/poland/img/assets/5816/DS-157_eng.pdf DS-157], *zgromadzić wszystkie niezbędne dokumenty opisane [http://warsaw.usembassy.gov/poland-pl/docs_photo.html tutaj], *umówić się na spotkanie z konsulem, dzwoniąc pod numer: +701-77-44-00 (płatne 4 zł + VAT, obsługiwane przez Legion Polska - czas rozmowy to zwykle ok 5-10 minut !!!), *wnieść na poczcie lub przelewem opłatę wizową w wysokości 330 zł (numer rachunku jest podany na stronie Ambasady), *zgłosić się w umówionym terminie ze wszystkimi potrzebnymi dokumentami. Od momentu zgłoszenia procedura przyznawania wizy zajmuje równo 30 dni, choć czasami - zwłaszcza w okresie wakacyjnym - może to trwać dłużej, w tym czasie trzeba zostawić paszport w ambasadzie, nie można więc wtedy z niego korzystać. Paszport z wizą (lub bez, jak będzie odmowa) jest dostarczany przez firmę kurierską DHL, co kosztuje 40 zł. Ambasada nie przewiduje innych form jego dostarczania. '''Kilka porad na temat bezbolesnego przejścia przez proces wizowy:''' *Jak najszybciej poproś o list zapraszający na Wikimanię - jest to kluczowy w tym przypadku dokument. *Rozpocznij starania o wizę jak najszybciej. Przy szczęśliwym zbiegu okoliczności zajmuje to nie więcej niż 5 tygodni, ale w okresie wakacyjnym czas oczekiwania na rozmowę z konsulem może być wydłużony nawet do kilku tygodni. Gdy zaczniesz starania o wizę na 3-4 miesiące przed terminem wyjazdu, da Ci to czas na odwołanie się od ew. negatywnej decyzji. *Przygotuj starannie swoje dokumenty. Nie zapomnij szczególnie o dostarczeniu: *# Wiarygodnych informacji o planowanym sposobie dotarcia i powrotu na konferencję *# Listu zapraszającego. Warto też wydrukować ogólne informacje o Wikimanii i być przygotowanym do kompetentnych odpowiedzi na pytania na jej temat. *# Dowodu na to, że jest się odpowiednią osobą, aby pojechać na Wikimanię (potwierdzonych informacji o tym, że jest się naukowcem, Wikipedystą lub uczestnikiem innego projektu - uczestnicy projektów Wikimedia mogą się zgłaszać w tej sprawie do [http://pl.wikimedia.org Stowarzyszenia Wikimedia Polska] *# Argumentów na rzecz tego, że jest się związanym z własnym krajem i ma się dobre powody aby do niego wrócić - np. listę posiadanych nieruchomości, wyciąg z konta bankowego, informacje o stałym zatrudnieniu lub studiowaniu w Polsce. == Wsparcie z naszej strony == List zapraszający od organizatorów Wikimanii nie gwarantuje otrzymania wizy. Jeśli postąpiłeś zgodnie z opisaną wyżej procedurą i odmówiono Ci wydania wizy, ''skontaktuj się z nami jak najszybciej''. Urzędnik imigracyjny z Massachusetts skontaktuje się z Twoją ambasadą/konsulatem aby spróbować zmienić decyzję miejscowego konsula. Jeśli nie stać cię na wizę (w Polsce jest to ok. 400 zł) lub koszty podróży, powiadom nas o tym. Być może udzielimy Ci wsparcia finansowego. 2035 2517 2006-05-26T20:57:00Z Gawron 54 <!-- {{wm06-main-pages}} --> <div style="padding: 5px; border:solid 2px #dfdfdf; background-color:#FFFFFF;"> <div style="padding: 3px; text-align: left; margin: 0px 20px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline;"> [[Image:Wikimania-%28gil%29.png|center|Wikimania banner]] <div style="font-size:180%; text-align: center"></div><br /> <div style="font-size:130%; text-align: center; font-family: 'Gil Sans', 'Gil Sans MT', Verdana, 'sans serif'"><small><small>W innych językach: {{Main-langs}} </small></small></div> {| border="0" cellpadding="10" style="background-color:#FCF9FF; font-family: 'Gil Sans', 'Gil Sans MT', Verdana, 'sans serif'" |- |valign="top" colspan="2"| <div style="font-size:130%; text-align: center;">'''Welcome to the second annual Wikimedia Foundation conference.'''<br /><br /></div> Wikimania 2006, druga międzynarodowa konferencja [http://www.wikimediafoundation.org Fundacji Wikimedia], która odbędzie się w dniach 4-6 Sierpnia w [[:en:Cambridge, Massachusetts|Cambridge, Massachusetts]], na kampusie Harvard Law School.

A talk should generally take three minutes or less and leave a minute or two for quick questions; more extensive questions can be addressed informally and one-on-one at the end of the session. Lightning talks provide an intensive and fun way to see a number of presentations in a short period of time. In the three minutes provided you should be able to describe your topic, explain the key details, and give your listeners a sense of why it's interesting. Lightning talks are not arranged thematically though if there are a large number of related talks, for instance on technical topics, they may be grouped together. There will be a projector available, though please consider carefully whether you'll need it due to the short time available. There will be three sessions, Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoon.

This effort is known as "Wikidata". The basic underlying notion is to apply all the concepts of a regular wiki engine to a complex relational database consisting of multiple tables with typical relations (one-to-many, many-to-many, etc.) between them. In this model, Wikidata is a framework that makes simple structural additions simple for regular wiki site administrators, and complex things possible for wiki developers. This presentation will demonstrate three existing prototypes of Wikidata applications from a user's point of view: * WiktionaryZ, arguably the most complex application built using the framework: a universal dictionary and thesaurus that can be queried by machines and humans alike. The current WiktionaryZ prototype can be found at http://www.wiktionaryz.org/ * WikiAuthors, a database of scientific publications, authors, and their affiliations. WikiAuthors will initially be implemented as a subset of WiktionaryZ, but very likely become a separate project soon. * (Tentatively:) Structured Wikinews. This will be a very simple application of Wikidata to add a story abstract and publication workflow information to Wikinews articles. }} 2058 3682 2006-06-29T09:58:51Z Ngb 33 [[Image:Wikimania(80x15).gif|right]] This page is part of the [[Proceedings:Introduction|Proceedings of Wikimania 2006]].

When Wikipedia makes headline news, inbound waves of new visitors challenge the project. I will describe examples of two different challenges. First, the "Swiftboating" edit war (November/December, 2005) began when political bloggers linked to this article, criticizing its POV from both left and right. Within minutes, many new IP addresses were trying to edit the article, some expressing frustration with acts of vandalism. Second, Wikipedia's increasing use as a media source motivated anonymous edits by Congressional staffers, as investigated by WikiNews in January/February, 2006. The "Swiftboating" war typifies what I would call a "vandal wave," set off by negative coverage of Wikipedia, a pointer to a specific article, and new-user frustration with editing tools in conditions of heavy use. The Congressional edits could be described as a "spin wave," where highly-motivated professional writers attempted to shift the spin of important articles. In both cases, Wikipedia gets hit by what looks like a wave of negative contributors. I'll discuss some tools and metrics for each case, including ways to detect/recruit productive contributors. I hope the audience will also contribute new insights. |notes=1 }} 2087 7479 2006-08-02T04:34:27Z Walkerma 236 time {{Abstract | type = presentation | title = Plans not Maps! Wikiplan: Collaborative Geographical Map Building System | author = Piotr Gawrysiak | track = ti | license = | time=Session 8: Sunday, 2:35pm (approx) | abstract = While Wikipedia is regarded currently as The Encyclopedia, many areas of human knowledge still remain outside of its scope. Geographical maps constitute a fine example. Almost all existing services (such as Google maps) contain proprietary data. The data itself seems to be well suited to wiki-style integration. Finally, maps are useful. In short - an ideal situation to be remedied by a community driven, collaborative effort, yet existing wiki mapping projects seem to be struggling instead of flourishing! I argue that the main reason is lack of proper tools. Instead of creating an accurate GIS mapping tool for Wikipedia we need a tool for drawing rough plans - that does not have to be geographically accurate or compatible with GPS file formats, but must be fast, easy to use for anyone and anywhere and must provide collaboration and control infrastructure essential for Wikipedia growth. Such a tool - named Wikiplan - is currently being developed at the Warsaw University of Technology. Wikiplan is a system that can be used to collaboratively create vector diagrams, especially plans of cities. It does not require Java - it uses AJAX and SVG. It does not require accuracy. Finally, it is open source and designed for easy integration with MediaWiki. }} 2090 2725 2006-06-18T10:18:34Z Ngb 33 [[Proceeding:BD1]] moved to [[Proceedings:BD1]]: Namespace #REDIRECT [[Proceedings:BD1]] 2092 2729 2006-06-18T10:18:56Z Ngb 33 [[Proceeding:PG1]] moved to [[Proceedings:PG1]]: Namespace #REDIRECT [[Proceedings:PG1]] 2094 5522 2006-07-20T09:00:15Z Ngb 33 fmt '''James Forrester''' currently serves as the Chief Research Officer of the Wikimedia Foundation, the Company Secretary of Wikimedia UK, and an Arbitrator for the English Wikipedia.

To date, § 230 has provided a broad and robust shield from gatekeeper liability for passive and not-so-passive information intermediaries. Does Wikipedia qualify for immunity? Panelist Myers will (1) introduce the basic elements that the Wikimedia Foundation must establish to benefit from § 230(c)(1) immunity, (2) offer a taxonomy of analytical approaches to its application, and (3) explore ambiguities relevant to that application in light of Wikipedia’s unique facts. The broad judicial interpretation of § 230(c)(1) and the more plausible resolution of the ambiguities suggest that the Foundation should be immune under the current legal framework. But is this all-or-nothing – and mostly nothing giving the breadth of the immunity – framework the best, for Wikipedia and for society in general? Panelists Medenica and Wahab suggest not, and recommend that § 230 should be modified to include (1) limited liability for internet intermediaries by providing a statutory cap on damages; (2) a safe harbor provision, including a notice and take-down provision for allegedly infringing or defamatory material; and (3) a public internet intermediary defense fund as insurance against unwarranted liability.

Wikis are the ultimate tool for creating a knowledge repository to benefit the entire community – whether that community is a project group, an organization or the entire profession. The three panel presenters are using wikis to collect knowledge from individuals in order to benefit a larger group. Meredith Farkas will discuss the development of ''[http://www.libsuccess.org Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki]'' as a communal space for sharing success stories, best practices and useful Web links among information professionals. Mary Carmen Chimato of Stony Brook University will describe how a staff-supported internal Wiki at the Health Sciences Center Library was used to document procedures and policies, improve communication between staff, and provide a higher level of support for patrons. Ellyssa Kroski will chronicle how the internal Butler Library Reference Wiki at Columbia University has helped reference librarians share specialized information about library resources. The presenters will discuss the development of their wikis, how they encourage people to contribute, and lessons learned.

Wikipedia can be used for various assignments and various groups: for example, students can be asked to reference an unreferenced article, improve the English language of a poorly written one, translate an article between various Wikis or create a completely new, encyclopedic article for their project. In doing so, students will be introduced to the helpful [[meta:Cmmunity|Wikipedia community]], and see that the task of writing an article is not only a 'boring assignment' but something millions of people do 'for fun'. Finally, one of the most important benefits of having students edit the Wiki is that they realize they and everybody else will benefit from their efforts. An incredible amount of creativity is wasted around the world when students' papers are discarded after being graded. By submitting their work to Wiki not only will the students be able to access it from any place, any time, but it will benefit - and be improved upon - by the entire world. }} 2108 10221 2006-08-27T01:56:00Z 24.126.51.141 __NOEDITSECTION__ [[Image:Wikimania(80x15).gif|right]] This page is part of the [[Proceedings:Introduction|Proceedings of Wikimania 2006]]. <table class="wikitable" style="border: 2px solid #ccc; border-collapse: collapse; clear: right; margin; 0 0 1em 0; width: 100%;"> <tr><th colspan="2" style="border: 2px solid #ccc; text-align: left; padding: 3px 10px; background: #ffffdd;"><h3>{{{name}}} {{ #if: {{{wikiname|}}} | ([[:{{{onwiki}}}:User:{{{wikiname}}}|{{{wikiname}}}]]) }}</h3></th></tr> {{ #if: {{{affiliation|}}} | <tr><td style="width: 15%; border-right: 1px solid #ccc; border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc; background: #f9f9f9; padding: 0.3em 0.4em;">'''Affiliation'''</td><td style="border-right: 2px solid #ccc; border-bottom: 1px solid#ccc; padding: 0.3em 0.4em;">{{{affiliation}}}</td></tr> }} {{ #if:{{{website|}}} | <tr><td style="width: 15%; border-right: 1px solid #ccc; border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc; background: #f9f9f9; padding: 0.3em 0.4em;">'''Personal site'''</td><td style="border-right: 2px solid #ccc; border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 0.3em 0.4em;">{{{website}}}</td></tr> }} <tr><td colspan="2" style="border-top: 2px solid #ccc; border-right: 2px solid #ccc; border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc; background: #f9f9f9; padding: 0.3em 0.4em;">'''Biography'''</td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" style="border-right: 2px solid #ccc; border-bottom: 2px solid #ccc; padding: 0.3em 0.4em;">{{:Presenters/{{{name}}}/Biography}}</td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" style="border-top: 2px solid #ccc; border-right: 2px solid #ccc; border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc; background: #f9f9f9; padding: 0.3em 0.4em;">'''Presentation{{#if:{{{abstract2|}}}|s}}'''</td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" style="border-right: 2px solid #ccc; border-bottom: 2px solid #ccc; padding: 0.3em 0.4em;"><ul><li>''[[Proceedings:{{{code}}}|{{{abstract}}}]]''</li>{{#if:{{{abstract2|}}}|<li>''[[Proceedings:{{{code2}}}|{{{abstract2}}}]]''</li>}}{{#if:{{{abstract3|}}}|<li>''[[Proceedings:{{{code3}}}|{{{abstract3}}}]]''</li>}}{{#if:{{{abstract4|}}}|<li>''[[Proceedings:{{{code4}}}|{{{abstract4}}}]]''</li>}}</ul></td></tr></table> 2109 2809 2006-06-18T21:48:54Z Ngb 33 '''Please note this is a test of the presenter template, not a real presenter.''' {{presenter | name=Rufus T.

Mobile Phones, PDAs, Game Consoles and Set Top Boxes are about to replace the PC as the one typical surf machine. Several projects have been started to make Wikipedia accessible by these devices. Whereas most of the projects focus on one special device or device family, we have applied our software framework to create a single access point to Wikipedia for all kinds of devices. Therefore a User Agent Profiling is used to recognize devices and adapt markup languages and display options to the capabilities of every single device. I will showcase Wikipedia on several devices like PDA, Blackberry, Mobile Phone and a Dream Box. Furthermore, aspects on how Wikipedia can be used on several devices are given, since different contexts of usage require different devices and make different features of Wikipedia more or less useful. On a smartphone for example editing articles is rather uncomfortable but watching the history and discussion of articles might be a killer feature. These insights imply that different context of usage make interfaces which can be individualized even more valuable. Furthermore, I will present political and social implications of device independent access to knowledge. The device independent access to Wikipedia can be used at http://wikipedia.7val.com.

We address the relationship between internet intermediaries, collaborative editing, and the 1996 Communication Decency Act's Section 230 (“Section 230”). We propose limiting Section 230 and that Wikis should: # address potential liability for user-provided content; and # impose mandatory rules of conduct for registered Wiki users. Section 230 provides that an internet intermediary will not be held liable for information posted by a user. Wikis benefit by remaining liability free from posting and edits of its users. Although Wikis’ appeal lies in communal editing, the continued growth in user content and reliance upon volunteer editorial staffs may ultimately lead to Wiki’s discredit. The open content Wiki model can be preserved in the long term by imposing limited liability upon Wikis and its users for postings. We examine Wikis and their success in light of Section 230 and the legislative intent underpinning the current liability model. We conclude that Section 230 and current Wiki policies do not provide the best paradigm for the long run.

The key project that participants of the network community develop is creation and investigation of usage of school encyclopedia – http://letopisi.ru based on WikiWiki technology - MediaWiki. In new environment an organizer of joint network projects ever oftener plays the role of school adviser that observes students group behavior, and not an officer who controls everybody's actions. Joint actions of participants of today's network communities often have gregarious character. Just like a form of bird flock is made as a result of each bird fulfilling simple operations complicated behavior of network community is formed as a result of individual behavior of its members. No one directs actions of individual players, but their simple behavior is the basis to form complex collective behavior. As a rule, the simpler individual behaviors guidelines are, the more complex character collective behavior has. In new environment an organizer of joint network projects ever oftener plays the role of school adviser that observes children group behavior, and not an officer who controls everybody's actions. We have introduced “flock adviser” term to emphasize gregarious character of modern network communities. Such adviser, first of all, extends students' field of vision, helps them trace each others' activity lines. The further students can see, the more they know of actions of other group members, the clearer they understand directions, in which other participants move, and the sooner overall direction is formed. School adviser must see all group members. He must tell the group of what he sees. To do this, a teacher as an adviser can use direct communication forms, indirect communication forms inside social services, and special services that allow to see connection between pages, key words and photos. }} 2124 3311 2006-06-26T15:27:50Z Ngb 33 Evgeny D.

One of the most influential theorists of Cyberculture, Pierre Lévy offered a metaphorical conceptualization of cyberspace, in terms of encyclopaedia, to argue for a new relationship between technology and knowledge, a relationship that allows the cultivation of a mutually developed and enhanced knowledge space through collective intelligence and interactive cognitive potentialities. This paper is based on Lévy’s posthumanistist theorizing of cyberspace and hypertext to offer an analysis of wikis, and more specifically of wikipedia. It will trace the emergence and evolution of wikipedia in comparison with generic conventions of and ideological assumptions on encyclopaedia, to argue for the need to theorize the material and symbolic specificities, as well as the social and political properties and limits of this cultural form and medium for representing knowledge, emblematic of universally distributed and technologically enabled intelligence. It discusses a set of issues regarding: # the aesthetic characteristics of wikipedia; # its institutional structures within the contemporary media landscape; and # its social, cultural and ideological significance. The paper draws on the theoretical and the empirical temporality of the encyclopaedia genre, its relationship with media technology and the history of cultural formations of knowledge representation to argue for a position that critically situates wikipedia away from the utopian ‘knowledge hive’, that preoccupies Lévy’s conceptualization of cyberspace, and within a more egalitarian actualization of authority and authorship, and of knowledge representation. | references=yes | fulltext = yes }} 2127 6409 2006-07-27T03:59:29Z Walkerma 236 Add time {{ abstract | type = panel | title = Can Visualization Help? | author = Fernanda Viégas | author2 = Martin Wattenberg | author3 = Ben Shneiderman | track = ss | license = | time=Session 7: Sunday, 9:30pm | abstract = The spectacular growth of Wikipedia, can make it hard to grasp how the site has evolved, how many users it has, or even what pages are the most active over time. Visualization is one way we can make this kind of information legible and accessible to site visitors and administrators alike. The diversity of Wikipedia visualizations built so far—from viewing editing activity to visualizations embedded in article pages—suggests that there are different roles that visual representations of data can play in Wikipedia. This presentation explores the reasons for building visualizations of Wikipedia data, the different audiences these systems might serve, and the ways in which we can facilitate the creation of new visualizations based on Wikipedia data. The discussion will cover the following topics: #Visualize what? Given the abundance of data in Wikipedia, what kinds of data should we focus on and why? #Visualize for whom? For whom are we building visualizations? Who are the people who might care about the information and the insights provided by these tools? #How to do it? How can we make it easy to get data?

This is changing the basic shape of knowledge, from (typically) trees to miscellanized piles. This has consequences for the nature of topics, the role of metadata, and, crucially, the authority of knowledge. In short, the change in the ''shape'' of knowledge is also changing its ''place''. Despite the hysteria too often heard, knowledge is not being threatened. We are way too good at generating knowledge, and it is way too important to us as a species. But, much of what we're doing together on the Web is about increasing ''meaning'', not knowledge.

Many do not reach their full potential through a lack of focus or leadership; others fail to attract stable contributors due to inadequate policies or promotion. This situation can be improved. Variations in topic, audience, and technical ability demand differing approaches when building and managing wiki communities. I provide concrete examples from two: [[CreaturesWiki:|Creatures Wiki]], based around an [[w:Creatures|artificial life simulation for children]]; and [[WikiFur:|WikiFur]], an encyclopedia for the [[w:Furry fandom|furry (anthropomorphic) fandom]]. I show community solutions to issues arising from [[WikiFur:WikiFur:Policies and guidelines|policy decisions]], such as the inclusion of [[WikiFur:WikiFur:Personal information|information on community members]], and describe approaches to disruption, including legal threats, proxy attacks, and influxes of visitors – and vandals – from [[w:Something Awful|popular]] [[w:4chan|websites]]. I discuss the variable applicability of [[w:Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines|Wikipedia’s policies]], as well as effective methods of online and offline [[WikiFur:WikiFur:Promotion|promotion]], recruiting, [[WikiFur:WikiFur:Advertising|advertising]], and monitoring of visitors and contributors. I outline effective uses of [[WikiFur:Category:WikiFur featured material|featured material]] on the front pages in driving regular contributions and traffic, and note the importance of personal leadership and [[WikiFur:WikiFur:Administrators|delegation]]. I conclude that a respected community reference site can be created within half a year.}} 2171 8609 2006-08-05T17:48:35Z Salvor 144 {{abstract | type=presentation | title=Wikibooks, Webquests and Wikipedia - Tools for Teachers and Learners | author=Salvor Gissurardottir | track=we | license= | time=Session 5: Saturday, 3:00pm (approx) | abstract=This paper explores how educators can use Wikibooks.org and Wikipedia.org when creating constructivist learning environment on the Web. Educators can design Wikibooks that link together Wikipedia articles and include student-centered and authentic inquiry-based learning tasks. These learning tasks could be Webquests. A WebQuest is a model to teach with the web that was developed in early 1995 at San Diego State University by Bernie Dodge with Tom March. A Webquest is an inquiry oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the internet. Open content such as Webquests as part of a Wikibook can make the writing and updating of a webquest a collaborative process for teachers and can also make possible for learners to interact with the task - rewriting it or making changes such as adding links to resources, maintaining links collections, providing tips and messages and adding their own findings/solutions to problems thus changing the task for future learners travelling on the same learning path.

Please leave comments for the authors on the discussion page. | license=cc-by-sa | abstract= Internet, wiki culture and commons-based peer-production are changing the way society produces and distribute knowledge. While the wiki has helped this paradigm change rapidly for informal learning in the last 10 years, movements aiming to change the school from its roots, like Democratic Education, Free Schools and Homeschooling, have been around for almost a century. Many educators realize wiki experiments in the classroom to reorganize their way of teaching, offering students more freedom in their own learning process. Even though, the school's structure itself replicates the traditional, centralized and consumerist way of producing knowledge, and in doing so prevent students from developing such autonomy as seen in a mature wiki community and from assuming management of their own learning process. While those teachers in traditional schools, whose work's focus is expected to be on content taught, have difficulty to introduce an autonomy-based culture in the classroom, educators at alternative schools, that focus on freedom and autonomy, have a big challenge to supply contents taught by traditional schools and required by law. Facing this problem educators at Lumiar, a democratic school in Sao Paulo, Brazil, started to use a wiki in their processes 2 years ago, and expect this tool to play a key role in the near future. In this discussion we'll show how far can a school's structure be transformed, look at several education-related wiki experiences, trying to understand the educational nature of wikis and how can its culture be effectively incorporated by schools. * References: :*[[w:Democratic_education]] :*[[w:Ivan_Illich#Deschooling_Society]] :*[[m:Transwiki:Wikimania05/CL1]] :*[[w:Homeschooling]] :*[[w:Free_schools]] }} 2184 8808 2006-08-06T01:07:48Z Sean Black 570 reverted vandalism {{Abstract | type=workshop | title=Free the curriculum: Supporting educators with open content | author=Kevin Driscoll | author2=Rob Lucas | track=we | license= | time=Session 6: Saturday, 4:00pm | abstract=Each year thousands of teachers across the globe commit an act unthinkable to the software engineer: they work in parallel isolation, solving the same problems at the same time with little to no communication. Worse still, their solutions are often dropped into dusty filing cabinets never to be seen by another soul. In the US, new teachers feel unsupported while experienced teachers feel unrecognized. This isolation leads to stress, burn-out, attrition, and poor educational outcomes for students. To end this frustrating cycle, we need to build a tool that gives teachers a place to share lessons, offer feedback, and access the works of their peers. The successes of the free software movement and Wikipedia community provide models for the creation of an educators' commons. Collaborative development, open content, and rigorous peer review nurtured the construction of a powerful operating system and comprehensive encyclopedia. Applied to the education community, these same principles can support the growth of a vast curriculum; diverse, freely available, and throughly documented. Previous attempts to connect teachers online have failed to find widespread acceptance. In this workshop, we will be identifying the teaching community's unique combination of needs and talents to design a tool for the open collaboration and sharing of teaching materials. }} 2185 3083 2006-06-23T23:19:43Z Brassratgirl 3 test {{presenter | name=John Q Public | wikiname=RufusFirefly | onwiki=en | affiliation=Government of Freedonia | website= | biography=everywhere }} 2186 8553 2006-08-05T15:11:48Z Markus Krötzsch 530 editstatus back to 0, since paper is not there yet {{abstract | type = presentation | title = Wikipedia and the Semantic Web, Part II | author = Denny Vrandecic | author2 = Markus Krötzsch | author3 = Max Völkel | track= ti | license= | parentcode = DV2 | parenttitle = Wikipedia and the Semantic Web | editstatus = 0 | slides = Proceedings:DV1/Slides | video = Proceedings:DV1/Video | abstract= At last year's Wikimania, we presented the idea of combining Wikipedia, the world's biggest collaboratively created source of encyclopedic knowledge, and the Semantic Web, a project to create a world wide decentralized knowledge base on top of the current web. We identified the need to allow knowledge processing in a computer assisted way within Wikipedia, for example to intelligently query the knowledge base, and allow for new navigation, browsing and knowledge management features, like automatically created lists or unit conversion. To this end, we proposed the introduction of typed links as a simple and unintrusive way for rendering large parts of Wikipedia machine readable. Since last year the proposal was discussed, changed and extended. Implementation has started, and the extension has been installed and tested in several sites. In this paper we present the extensions that have been included to the original proposal and the current state of the implementation, as well as some of the future plans.

Due to the general nature of the underlying Wiki paradigm, they also offer a variety of possibilities with respect to their use in different application scenarios. However, specific environments typically involve or require software systems other than Wikis, natively, in order to fulfill the requirements of their particular use case. Introducing additional software applications to any particular environment also necessitates an examination of the question of how to integrate these with the already existing applications, and how to make relevant information shareable and accessible across application boundaries, without introducing redundancy. In this context, this paper reviews the use of Wikis as information systems in an educational environment, where existing applications are already employed to supplement a classroom by offering structured multimedia learning materials and online courses to the students, but an additional Wiki is used by the students for collaborative, editorial work on class-relevant topics and articles. A concept is proposed to integrate such a Wiki system in a way that students may use its familiar Web interface to provide additional content in the form of a glossary or dictionary, while allowing the existing applications to dynamically access and present its content on-the-fly and context-sensitively. Based on this concept, an architecture and prototypical implementation are presented, allowing Web applications access to live and off-line Wiki content through an abstract application layer. The modular architecture offers an explicit binding mechanism that allows integration of different Wiki clones in parallel and as concurrent sources; by the same token, arbitrary external Wikis, such as Wikipedia, which reside outside of the actual class, could be accessed. The actual implementation prototype illustrates the main features and possibilities of the suggested concept on the basis of an actual e-learning application used to augment real-world university classes. }} 2190 8198 2006-08-04T15:05:19Z 82.41.56.242 {{abstract | type=bof | title=OTRS discussion session | author=Kat Walsh | track=pc | license= | time=Saturday, 12:30pm | abstract=This is an informal discussion session for those answering the Wikimedia information queues in OTRS or interested in doing so.

Typical waiting time for appointments and visa award ranges from 3 to 8 months. == Air fare == Most of the travel to Boston from South America connects in either Miami or Atlanta depending on airline, with some few exceptions (Connections in New York and Dallas Forth Worth). American Airlines typically connects in Miami, Delta Airlines in Atlanta and Copa Airlines connect in Panama, Other available options are LAN, TACA and Aeropostal. Fares should be consulted with your local Travel Agency or through websites dedicated in selling air plane tickets (Expedia.com, Priceline.com, Orbitz.com in English and Despegar.com in Spanish). == Flying to the United States == Be advised that there are many items that are not allowed on airplanes, this list includes but is not limited to: filers, knives and firearms. You should always check the Transportation Security Agency for a compiled list of items that cannot be included in airplanes. During flight, flight crew might approach you with two forms, a custom declaration and an I-94 immigration form. These forms must be filled with important and necessary information, including: * Full name * Address of where you are staying (Hotel, dorm, etc) * Passport number * City where you boarded * Ammount of money in cash and trade notes you carry. * List of goods you travel with (There are several items like fruits and vegetables that must be declared). And others. The I-94 form must be presented to the Immigration official, and in turn he or she will hand the bottom half of the form to you. You MUST keep this bottom half safe, and present it to the preoper official when you leave the country, failure to do so will get you in trouble the next time you try to enter the country. == Getting Boston == You finally arrived to your connecting destination, and through Immigration and Custom officials, you should check with the Airline Gate number, flight time and other information you would like to have about the flight. This is algo a good time to call in advance to where you are staying in Boston (A Hotel, a dorm or where you are staying) and inform them about the time when you expect to arrive. http://www.tsa.gov/public/interapp/editorial/editorial_1012.xml 2208 5520 2006-07-20T08:59:20Z Ngb 33 {{presenter | name=James Forrester | affiliation=Wikimedia Foundation | wikiname=jdforrester | onwiki=meta | abstract=Research about Wikimedia: A Workshop | code=JF1 }} 2209 3195 2006-06-25T22:43:16Z Ngb 33 {{presenter | name=Laurence Parry | wikiname=GreenReaper | onwiki=en | website=http://greenreaper.co.uk/ | abstract=A Tale of Two Wikis: Techniques for building, managing and promoting collaborative communities | code=LP1 }} 2210 3201 2006-06-25T22:52:28Z Ngb 33 {{presenter | name=J Baumgart | wikiname=jkbaumga | onwiki=en | website=http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/jkbaumga/ | abstract=Tips for Conducting Research and Evaluating Information | code=JKB1 | abstract2=Librarianesque Birds of a Feather Session | code2=JKB2 }} 2212 5349 2006-07-17T18:52:27Z Ngb 33 '''Panagiota Alevizou''' is a doctoral researcher at the department of Media and Film, University of Sussex (UK).

Hazards of folk etymology and the need for cautious research. * Pronunciation. A science in itself, briefly examined here. * Synonyms, antonyms, related terms, thesauri. * Translations and meanings. * Citations, examples, and usage notes. * Categories and links. * Anagrams and other goodies. * Multimedia, community and other non-traditional dictionary content. }} 2296 4828 2006-07-12T09:31:10Z Mormegil 372 replaced vandalism with "See [[meta:Help:Searching]]."

Approval for the final version to be published will rest with the author. ===Stages of submission=== Presentations will be marked with a bar at the top of the page for each abstract indicating the progress and status of the submission, and will be advanced through these stages by the Editors. The stages are: * '''0 - Missing''': the text of the presentation has not been submitted. * '''1 - Submitted''': original submission received. * '''2 - Editing''': the submission is being edited by the Proceedings editors. * '''3 - Review''': editing is complete and the submission is being reviewed by the author. * '''4 - Final edit''': last copyedit by the Proceedings editors; the page is locked. * '''5 - Complete''': the submission is complete and fully edited. * '''6 - Done''': the submission is ready for print publication; PDF version of the submission is prepared. ==Format== Proceedings will be made available [[Proceedings:Introduction|on the Wikimania 2006 Wiki]]. Full text of papers will be made available in the following formats: *Wikitext *PDF Posters will be made available in the following formats: *OpenOffice Draw *SVG *PNG *PDF Slides will be made available in the following formats: *Microsoft PowerPoint *OpenOffice Impress *PDF ===Submission formats=== In general, we ask that you submit materials in an editable format. This is for two reasons: firstly to allow the editors to make any necessary changes for publication and secondly to ensure that other people can reuse your data after publication. Material should be submitted in one of the following formats: *'''Text''': Wikitext, or an editable text format (plain text, RTF, OpenOffice doc). Please do not send submissions in PDF or other proprietary or non-editable formats. *'''Posters''': Please submit if possible in an editable, non-proprietary vector graphics format (e.g. OpenOffice Draw, SVG). *'''Other images''': Images to illustrate papers may be in any appropriate format. *'''Slides''': PowerPoint or OpenOffice Impress. Please send in presentation (''.ppt'' or ''.odp'') rather than show (''.pps'') format so that they are editable. Please ensure that your submissions conform as closely as possible to the [[Proceedings:Style guide|Style Guide]]. This saves extra work for the Editors and reduces the delay between submission and publication, so everyone wins! ==Where to send submissions== Please send all materials to the editors at <tt>wikimania-program <at> wikimedia.org</tt>. Please do '''not''' upload directly to the wiki. ==Licensing== The proceedings of Wikimania 2006 will be published under the [[:w:GNU Free Documentation License|GNU Free Documentation License]] (GFDL) version 1.2, or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation ([http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html#SEC1 details]).

Quotations of over four lines or 40 words should be set into a separate indented paragraph, without quote marks at the beginning or end. ===Emphasis=== Bold type should be confined to headings and subheadings within articles and not used for emphasis or for the names of organisations or publications. Italics should be used as sparingly as possible for emphasis as the sense of emphasis decreases each time italicisation is used and because italics are used for other purposes (e.g. the titles of books). When using italics for emphasis within quotations, you should note whether the emphasis is from the original text or has been added by you. You can simply add 'original emphasis' or 'emphasis added' to the citation. ===Numbers=== The numbers zero to nine should be expressed in words except where referring to data, measurements or mathematics (e.g. 'six Wikipedia articles' but 'the image measures 5 pixels by 5 pixels'). All whole numbers above nine should appear as figures (e.g. '10', '11', '68'). Numbers at the start of a sentence should be expressed in words ('Fifty years ago...'). Ordinal numbers should be expressed as words (e.g. 'fifteenth'). ====Percentages==== Percentages should be expressed in figures, not words (i.e. '3 per cent' rather than 'three per cent'). Use 'per cent' rather than '%' if the term is to be used just once or twice in a single individual paragraph; '%' is fine if you are listing a whole series of percentages. ===Acronyms=== You should explain the first occurrence of each and every acronym (e.g. 'Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)' on the first occurence, 'HTML' later in the manuscript). ===Dates=== * 24 March 1981 * 1980s, 1990s * 1976-8; 1976-82; 1976-2001 * nineteenth century; twentieth century; twenty-first century ==Citations & references== All use of third-party material '''must''' be cited and referenced appropriately, without exception. ===Citations=== Each and every use of a third-party source in the manuscript should be accompanied by a citation in the following format. ; One author : The last name of the author and the year of publication of the book, paper or document, as in (Smith 1990). For direct quotations, the page number should also appear, as in (Smith 1990: 12). ; Two authors : List the surnames of both authors in order of their appearance in the original publication, followed by date of publication, as in (Smith & Jones 1996). For direct quotations, the page number should also appear, as in (Smith & Jones 1996: 25). ; Three or more authors : The citation should appear as (Smith et al. 1997). For direct quotations, the page number should also appear, as in (Smith et al. 1997: 56). All citations in the manuscript should be fully described in a References section at the end of the document, laid out as described in 'References' below. Items listed in the References section that are not cited in the manuscript will be removed. Citations to items not listed in the References section will be removed from the manuscript. ===References=== Full references in the References section should take the following format: ; Books by one author : Aaltonen, Sirkku, 2000.

They didn’t know they could reach the world with the use of a computer and they were shocked to find out that they could chip in and contribute with Spanish Wikipedia which lets the world know who they are and who they have been for centuries, their culture, their music, their foods and everything that makes them unique and special. After fixing and setting up the computers (with Spanish Wikipedia as startup page in Mozilla Firefox) they learned how to browse it and read about their country, their city and themselves. And with that they felt like that was it, they were finally on the map and people anywhere could see who they were, humans like all of us. }} 2342 3507 2006-06-27T21:46:06Z Ngb 33 {{ presenter | name = Damian Finol | affiliation = IGLUVE | website = http://www.igluve.org/ | wikiname = DamianFinol | onwiki = en | abstract = Wikipedia in rural communities of the native tribes of northern Venezuela | code = DF1 }} 2344 3681 2006-06-29T09:58:47Z Ngb 33 [[Image:Wikimania(80x15).gif|right]] This page is part of the [[Proceedings:Introduction|Proceedings of Wikimania 2006]].

Some advocate a "what you see is what you wiki" (wysiwyw) approach to the matter.

The group assembled here represents several divergent approaches and projects to harnessing the collaborative and open-source nature of Wikis to the tasks of teaching, educating inquiry and training. We will discuss and compare Wiki projects that cover diverse methods and content fields. Projects include secondary, undergraduate, and graduate level courses. Systems we describe address groups varying in size from roughly a dozen to hundreds of students. We approach the ontology and pedagogy of Wiki-based educational materials drawing on cognitive and social constructivism, a theory of inquiry-based learning, and an interest in information markets and online sharing dynamics. Projects included in this panel have received financial support from a variety of granting agencies, including the Israeli Internet Association, U.S. National Science Foundation, the GVU Center at Georgia Institute of Technology, SHOHAM at The Open University of Israel, and InfoSoc at the University of Haifa. We created and now study widely different implementations of Wiki usage in education that reflect a variety of instructional approaches. In all of the projects we have completed at least one cycle of use, and can therefore report on outcomes that include user feedback, reactions and satisfaction; impact on learning; impact on grade; non-obtrusive measures of usage patterns; and external measures of quality of the content generated and preserved. Our findings address the issues of design considerations, multilingual and multicultural content, group dynamics, evaluation and quality control. We wish to use this panel to share lessons learned and discuss a variety of usage modes, in search of "best practice" models as well as share lessons learned that apply to future modifications and additions to the code. }} 2367 3606 2006-06-28T16:13:10Z Brassratgirl 3 short site policy. ==General site policy== This is a site for Wikimania-related content ONLY.

Both groups share a similar critique of intellectual property, a similar goal of more freedom and access to information and a similar set of legal instruments (i.e., licenses) through which they attempt to achieve these goals. However, through its emphasis on licenses and legal, many in the free knowledge community have neglected the fact that it is not Richard Stallman's famous GNU General Public License that forms, "the constitution of the free software movement," but rather his Free Software Definition (FSD). While the free knowledge movement, and Creative Commons in particular, calls for "some rights reserved," the FSD defined free software as software that respects the four essential and unreservable freedoms to use, modify, share, and collaborate without restrictions. To date, there exists no similar definition of freedom at the core of any free content or free expression movement. On May 1st, the authors of this paper and others in the free information community (including Lawrence Lessig and Richard Stallman) invited the Wikipedia community and rest of the free knowledge world to collaborate -- through a wiki -- to draft a Free Content and Expression Definition that aims to form the core of a new freedom movement. This presentation will argue for the need and justification of such a document, present and justify a text, and describe the process and future of such a definition. |audio=1 }} 2379 3634 2006-06-28T23:02:23Z Ngb 33 /* Case (b) */ Notes: Case (a) applies if GFDL and cc-by-sa are made compatible, case (b) or (c) if not. ==Case (a)== Final submissions '''must''' be licensed under one of the following free content licenses: *[[:w:GFDL|GNU Free Documentation License]] *[[:w:Creative Commons License|Creative Commons Attribution License]] *[[:w:Creative Commons License|Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike License]] You may also multi-license your submission under other licenses of your choice, or release it into the public domain. ==Case (b)== Final submissions '''must''' be licensed under the [[:w:GFDL|GNU Free Documentation License]].

Since empirical information about some subcultures are very contraditory and reliable sources to search for a database about subcultures at the internet - in the sense that most of the mass media shows stereotypes and distorted images of its participants – Wikipedia seems to be a rare case due to its collaborative writing, which allows the participants of an specific subculture to write and expose their way of thinking, alongside with researchers and scholars. For this paper, we´ve analyzed the role of some musical subcultures related to the post-punk and gothic subculture (Hodkinson 2002), such as darkwave, industrial, death rock in its relation with other alternative niche-media, the magazines ''Side Line'' and ''Drop Dead''. }} 2392 3688 2006-06-29T10:25:02Z Ngb 33 {{ presenter | name = Adriana Amaral | affiliation = Universidade Tuiuti do Paraná, Brazil | abstract = Subcultures and Wikipedia: subcultural capital in a collaborative writing project | code = AA1 }} 2393 5350 2006-07-17T18:52:36Z Ngb 33 '''Adriana Amaral''' has a PhD in Social Communication from Pontificia Universidade Catolica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS) in Brazil.

Consequently, Wikipedia and similar projects face the dual difficulties of acquiring and retaining productive content creators in spite of a number of obstacles. Both new and veteran editors face learning curves, personality conflicts, administrative obligations, and "real world" distractions, and many efforts have been taken within Wikipedia communities to combat the factors which distract from productive editing. Based on both analysis of editing patterns and surveys of Wikipedians, we identify trends in Wikipedian "life cycles" and offer a more formal breakdown of hindrances and facilitators to productive content creation, with particular attention to the relative importance of different factors between different Wikimedia projects and across the five-year history of Wikipedia. }} 2396 3692 2006-06-29T10:28:53Z Ngb 33 {{ presenter | name = Seth Anthony | affiliation = Colorado State University | abstract = Contribution patterns among active Wikipedians: Finding and keeping content creators | code = SA1 }} 2397 10051 2006-08-13T22:09:24Z Jdforrester 11 [[Presenters/Cathy Ma]] moved to [[Presenters/Cathy P.

As a way of bridging these two worlds, we present [http://www.leahgauthier.com/fridays_flowers/ Friday's Flowers] – a multi-media work of art based on a wiki environment re-purposed and streamlined for artistic collaboration. The principle narrative of Friday's Flowers will be a continuing series of directives in the style of Yoko Ono's instruction pieces, or Miranda July's assignments in Learning to Love You More, intended to activate participants within their local environments: This Friday, ask a person you interact with often, but do not know well (store clerk, teacher, parole officer) to draw a flower depicting how they feel. Take a bag of oranges to someone who needs some sunshine. Share one together. Record sounds. The results will be uploaded to the wiki, and made immediately available - via browsing or meta-data searching – for viewing or listening as well as for editing. One participant’s final product will become another’s raw material in an iterative and exploratory process, unfolding the "unconscious reality in the personality of the group", as Nicolas Calas stated in reference to the Exquisite Corpse parlor game. Each successive round of creation will be posted back to the wiki where it can be recycled into another work. We hope there will be instances of works which we can extract and exhibit outside of the virtual space and attribute to the collective authorship of Friday’s Flowers. Since wikis are multi-authorship environments, participants will not only have the capability to change each other's content in new and exciting ways, but also can provide each other with directives, organize group responses, communicate about their experiences in discussion groups and otherwise steer the direction of Friday’s Flowers. In this sense, we hope to create a lasting environment that proves to be inspirational and enabling to a host of interested collaborators from professional artists to people who have never considered themselves creative. The success of any wiki depends on the desire to share and make a contribution to a larger body of work. In presenting Friday's Flowers at Wikimania we hope to encourage dialog around the wiki as an art form as well as investigate technology issues surrounding the extension of the wiki to handle multimedia content. }} 2541 10226 2006-08-27T21:23:44Z Brassratgirl 3 + slides link {{ abstract | type = presentation | author = Ken Myers | title = Wikimmunity: Fitting the Communications Decency Act to Wikipedia | license = | track = lp | slides=1 | parentcode = KM2 | parenttitle = Section 230: At the Gates between Liability for Harmful Speech and Wikipedia | abstract = The Communications Decency Act, codified at 47 U.S.C. § 230, provides the Wikimedia Foundation with a substantial shield from liability if/when it is sued for defamation appearing on Wikipedia. Section 230(c)(1) provides that, 'No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.' Defendants from AOL to eBay to Matchmaker.com have successfully defended against defamation actions with this shield; however, the immunity is not limitless. This presentation will first cover the basics elements that the Foundation must establish to benefit from § 230(c)(1) immunity. Next, it will offer a taxonomy of analytical approaches to the application of § 230(c)(1), and explore ambiguities relevant to that application in light of Wikipedia's unique facts. Specifically, the open contribution model and accretion-based continuous 'publication' raise issues heretofore unexplored – namely, the scope of the term 'entity' in the definition of 'information content provider' and the appropriate level of generality of the term 'information.' While the presentation concludes that the Foundation will be able to avail itself of the § 230(c)(1) immunity, it offers a few thoughts for further improving its position in light of the law. The paper forming the basis for the presentation (same title) will be published this fall in the Harvard Journal of Law and Technology, Volume 20.

What will the future bring regarding further divergence of projects? What would be a good direction, what will work and what not? Should we put at the end everything in one huge Wiki, or do we end up with Wiki's as favorite personal homepages? What ratio will bring the best result at the end? And of course, Wiki's are not one-size-fits-all. What improvements could be made on the software and the social structure to make the wiki more usable for more ideas?

The project began as an exploration of the tools available in a wiki to support a cohort of graduate students in their Master's projects. The initial goal was to not only find non-traditional archival and creative tools, but also to find technology that would enhance community amongst graduate students in the cohort. One of the interesting results of the project was the demonstrated potential of wikis to support research as well as a vehicle for community building. The Collaborative Project Support Wiki focuses on project support in two different ways: individual project support and collaborative project support. Students making up the wiki community were encouraged to use the wiki as a resource for their Masters projects and class work as well as for planning graduation events including a gallery show that will feature our projects. The wiki is a demonstration of how existing wiki software can shaped into a new tool for collaborative learning and non-linear research. It takes advantage of the unique possibilities of wikis as online research tools--enabling individuals and groups to maintain and share a record of research, suggest and promote alternative research processes, and benefit from community interaction and support. The wiki is also be a first-hand exploration of how a particular user (me) forms an individual conceptualization of digital research space. }} 2544 10650 2006-10-18T03:35:29Z 209.94.128.108 {{abstract |type=presentation |title=Disambiguation: The Key to Information Architecture? |author=Chris Luer |track=pc |license= |time=Session 6: Saturday, 5:00pm (approx) |abstract= We argue that disambiguation is key to many problems in information access. The effectiveness of different disambiguation techniques in Wikipedia varies; for example, disambiguation of historical rulers is rather effective (George I of Great Britain), while disambiguation of other persons is problematic (John Taylor). We survey the disambiguation techniques used in different scientific and scholarly domains and in different types of reference works, and classify disambiguation techniques for use in Web-based applications such as wikis. Implications for Semantic Wiki projects are discussed. Genealogy wikis are presented as a case study; these are wikis with a potentially very large size and high needs for disambiguation due to the large numbers of people sharing similar names. We conclude that proper disambiguation is essential for the success of a large wiki, but is hard to realize without intelligent tool support. |slides=1 }} 2545 4780 2006-07-12T01:34:03Z R.O.C 12 Reverted edits by [[Special:Contributions/CantoneseWiki|CantoneseWiki]] ([[User_talk:CantoneseWiki|Talk]]); changed back to last version by [[User:R.O.C|R.O.C]] #REDIRECT [[Main Page/zh]] 2547 9532 2006-08-07T08:42:38Z 129.69.215.220 [[Proceedings:MR1|See MR1]] 2548 4050 2006-07-02T04:29:26Z R.O.C 12 This is a collection of Chinese pages for Wikimania. 2549 4053 2006-07-02T04:35:54Z R.O.C 12 [[Visas/zh-tw]] moved to [[Visas/zh]] #REDIRECT [[Visas/zh]] 2550 9259 2006-08-06T16:04:19Z Denny 563 {{abstract |type=workshop |author=Markus Krötzsch |author2=Denny Vrandecic |track=ti | slides = Proceedings:MK1/Slides |license= |time=Session 7: Sunday, 9:30am |title=Using Wikipedia’s Knowledge in Your Applications |abstract= In this workshop we offer application and website developers an introduction to technologies that help unleash the knowledge in a Semantic Mediawiki for their own tools.

They do not need any knowledge of Semantic Web technologies, as we will offer basic introductory material. Often, Semantic Web technologies are decried as complicated and hard to understand, but we claim – and will demonstrate in this tutorial – that using the Semantic Web is easier than thought. Some knowledge of XML technologies will be helpful, but is not mandatory for understanding. We aim to keep the tutorial as (programming) language independent as possible. The languages used in the examples in the tutorial will be Python, Java and PHP, but the techniques described can be easily used also with other languages, like C, C++, Javascript, Lisp, Perl, Ruby, and many others. }} 2551 10865 2006-11-04T09:40:48Z Ngb 33 -fulltext, a powerpoint presentation isn't 'full text'; correcting editstatus {{ abstract | type = presentation | editstatus = 0 | title = Defining WiktionaryZ | author = Betsy Megas | track = pc | license = | time=Session 5: Saturday, 2:00pm | notes = 1 | slides = Image:Defining_WiktionaryZ.ppt | audio = 1 | video = | abstract = This presentation will provide a brief introduction to WiktionaryZ, the next generation Wiktionary. WiktionaryZ aims to bring all different language Wiktionaries into one project. Besides cutting down on translation effort that is currently duplicated across separate Wiktionary projects, WiktionaryZ will link translations to meanings rather than words, so that content can be displayed in any combination of languages set by the user. Because it will be based on a relational database structure, the content will also be much more accessible by software for use in derivative works and across wikis.

Both communities maintain transparent development processes and both produce publicly available, free content. However, differences remain. Most contributors to open source software projects are identifiable, which is not necessarily true for Wikipedia. Unlike software, a wiki based encyclopedia is less dependent upon architectural decisions. However, both types of communities share a similar challenge: managing ‘the boundary of an open project’. How can open communities devoted to collaborative production manage growth and improve the quality of contributions, while maintaining open boundaries? These three parameters imply seemingly divergent organizing practices. Yet, managing these tensions is essential for innovation to occur in both communities. The scholars on this panel have all researched how open source communities have wrestled with: socializing new members to project norms and developing governance systems that can support open and democratic processes. This panel draws upon their work to identify how Wikipedia and open source development projects compare. The panel focuses on the lessons from open source software that are relevant to Wikipedia. Our goal is to identify principles that can simultaneously foster growth, quality and openness. |slides=1 }} 2553 6396 2006-07-27T03:51:51Z Walkerma 236 Add time {{abstract |author=Alex Schenck |type=presentation |title=Observations From The Bridge: Why Wikipedia Is So Attractive |track=pc |license= |time=Session 5: Saturday, 2:00pm |abstract= Like virtually any other major project, Wikipedia's success is not an accident. There are reasons why Wikipedia has evolved from the brainchild of a few to a major Internet and social phenomenon. The project itself is built upon a foundation of values and practices that encourage a healthy and dynamic environment perfect for an academically-sound encyclopedia. This presentation, given by English Wikipedia bureaucrat Alex Schenck, highlights the driving forces behind Wikipedia's popularity with both its editors and the public. Questions such as "why do editors stay with the project" and "what drives people to edit Wikipedia in the first place" are answered by Wikipedians themselves. In addition, this presentation will offer insightful suggestions for how Wikipedia could be combined with other existing practices that may further increase Wikipedia's attractiveness to potential editors and readers. Specific examples, such as the accessibility and approachability of help from administration, the transparency of administrative actions, and the friendly atmosphere that is encouraged within the community, are part of a strong foundation that Wikipedia is built upon. It is this type of environment that any collaborative project would be wise to mimic. }} 2554 4077 2006-07-02T06:15:53Z R.O.C 12 [[Contact/Zh]] moved to [[Contact/zh]] #REDIRECT [[Contact/zh]] 2555 5577 2006-07-20T09:44:14Z Ngb 33 fmt '''Edna Tal-Elhasid''' is the head of the Instructional Design Group at Shoham, The Center for Integrating Technology in Distance Education at the [[:w:Open University of Israel|Open University of Israel]].

With its astonishing productivity, complex organizational structure and extraordinary stability the most popular and prolific Wiki Wikipedia presents an ideal platform for collaborative work because of being publicly editable and transparent. In fact, the almost complete absence of barriers enabled more than a million users to join the Wikipedia community. They engage in this authoring project, e.g. they create knowledge, debate critical topics, start new initiatives, and projects. Firstly, the authors examine the recent studies on motivation in FLOSS (Free/Libre/Open Source Software) projects, for instance the Linux kernel. These provide insight especially concerning intrinsic factors using concepts of gift economy, epistemic community, community of practice. However, these approaches often leave out the role of extrinsic factors. Moreover, it is questionable if these models can be applied to Wikipedians. Therefore, the authors look in a second step at surveys on motivational factors in Wikipedia that stress the importance of intrinsic factors (learning, fun, flow) and the identification with the project. On that basis, an innovative perspective is presented by employing Niklas Luhmann’s system theory to shed light on the motivational factors emerging from the Wiki work processes. With regard to Luhmann’s notion of social systems and networks the authors outline a perspective that postulates an integrative framework for analyzing motivation in Wiki-webs. Thus, it turns away from common methods like user surveys and focuses instead on both the motivational and the structural level of Wikipedia by using network analysis. The authors suggest that the concept of “system identity” can be viewed as a key factor to describe user motives. |fulltext=yes |pdf=yes }} 2560 9420 2006-08-06T21:51:12Z Walter 46 {{abstract |type=presentation |author=Jim Giles |track=fk |license= | time=Session 1: Friday, 11:20am (approx) |title=Comparing Wikipedia and Britannica: The story behind ''Nature's'' encyclopaedia story |abstract= Last December, ''Nature'' magazine published a [http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v438/n7070/full/438900a.html news article] that compared the accuracy of science articles in ''Wikipedia'' and ''Encyclopaedia Britannica''.

Systems built on open source are increasingly being scrutinized to see what binds them together. Trust is believed to be a primary adhesive in these systems. This study attempts to document the process (RfA) in which administrator status is given to editors on the English Wikipedia, the most visited of all the sites run by the Wikimedia foundation. It looks at the various ways in which trust plays out in the RfA process, the strengths of such a system, the possible pitfalls and the implications for the system. The wider implications for open source projects are touched upon. This would also help in a proper positioning and categorization of open source projects such as the English Wikipedia between diverse innovative models like the private model and the collective model. On a much broader plane, the presentation, by building on the study of the RfA process, would inform the theories on trust of other possible avenues for research. }} 2565 10341 2006-08-30T21:59:20Z TimBits 278 [[Image:Wikimania-(2006-full).gif|center|Wikimania banner]] {{Main-langs}} </small></small></div> {| border="0" cellpadding="10" style="background-color:#FCF9FF; font-family: 'Gil Sans', 'Gil Sans MT', Helvetica, Verdana, 'sans serif'" |- |valign="top" colspan="2"| <div style="font-size:130%; text-align: center;">'''İkinci ənənəvi Vikimediya konfransına xoş gəlmisiniz.'''<br /><br /></div> Vikimaniya 2006, ikinci ənənəvi [http://www.wikimediafoundation.org/ Vikimediya] konfransı, bu il 4-6 Avqust tarixində [[:en:Cambridge%2C_Massachusetts|Massaçusets ştatının Kembric şəhərində]] yerləşən Harvard Universiteti Hüquq Fakultəsi korpusunda keçirilmişdir.

Wikipedia, as its English language site approached the 1,000,000 article milestone, it held several successful fund-raising drives, and it attracted increasing levels of public and professional

An umbrella of projects more than a single project itself, Wikicite incorporates and integrates several existing proposed enhancements such as article validation, stable candidate designation and vote, and software-supported factual assertion citation into an integrated whole. Yet the project is not limited to merely ensuring the accuracy of Wikipedia articles; included as one of its deliverables is a complete bibliographic catalog database, [[:m:Wikicat|Wikicat]], and a [[:m:WikiTextrose|text relationship database]] for mapping authority relationships within a particular scholarly literature.

Specifically, it looks at the motivations of those criticisms—epistemological, territorial, authorial and otherwise—and their merit. It offers possible solutions for some of the criticism, specifically that of the accuracy and credibility of the articles through utilization of proven peer-review techniques, while analyzing the motivation for what appears to be unsupported or uncharitable criticism of Wikipedia for research and general use. The overall direction of this paper is to foster an understanding of themes in the criticism of such projects with a look at distinguishing between the variety of criticisms leveled at Wikipedia and its sister projects. |fulltext=1 |slides=1 }} 2584 10898 2006-12-01T17:28:24Z Ngb 33 Reverted edits by [[Special:Contributions/210.7.71.214|210.7.71.214]] ([[User_talk:210.7.71.214|Talk]]); changed back to last version by [[User:Rhoeg|Rhoeg]] {{ abstract | type = panel | title = Organizational Uses of Wiki Technology | author = Karim Lakhani | author2 = Andrew McAfee | author3 = Josh Bancroft | author4 = Ned Gulley | author5 = Michael Idinopulos | author6 = Ross Mayfield | track = fk | license = | time=Session 7: Sunday, 9:30am | childcode = JB1 | childtitle = Intelpedia: Using MediaWiki to Share Information at Intel Corporation | abstract = This panel will discuss the challenges and opportunities for using Wikis inside organizations.

The phenomenon he describes as social production is reshaping markets, while at the same time offering new opportunities to enhance individual freedom, cultural diversity, political discourse, and justice. Alongside free and open source software, Wikipedia stands as a paradigmatic instance of these changes. But these results are by no means inevitable: a systematic campaign to protect the entrenched industrial information economy of the last century threatens the promise of today's emerging networked information environment. Benkler describes how patterns of information, knowledge, and cultural production are changing ­ and shows that the way information and knowledge are made available can either limit or enlarge the ways people can create and express themselves. He describes the range of legal and policy choices that confront us and maintains that there is much to be gained ­ or lost ­ by the decisions we make today. |notes=1 }} 2599 9435 2006-08-06T22:14:08Z Walter 46 {{abstract |type=bof |title=Validation on Wikipedia: How do I know this article is accurate? |author=Martin Walker |track=pc |license= |time=Session 3: Friday, 4:00pm |abstract= Joint session with: [[Proceedings:PK2|''‘Just the facts, ma’am (or sir)’: Accuracy and impartiality in crafting an encyclopedia article'']]. Factual accuracy is vital to the credibility of Wikipedia, but at this point the issue has only been dealt with in rather informal ways. This discussion will focus on the validation of articles, i.e., 'How can I be sure that this article is factually correct?' The term validation is sometimes used more loosely to mean general assessment, but only the stricter meaning is intended here. Current systems of assessment (as used at Wikipedia 1.0) and article review fail to address this issue; by using reviewers who are not subject experts, they tend to focus on aesthetics and general breadth of coverage. If an article has (say) the wrong bond angle in a chemical structure, this would not typically be noticed by any existing systems of review, and it would not prevent the article from achieving 'Featured Article' status. Even if the article is correct at some point in time, there is no guarantee that it will always be correct in the future. These are serious flaws that undermine the reliability of Wikipedia. The aim of the discussion will be to develop a workable method for article validation on Wikipedia. The discussion leader will initiate the discussion by briefly outlining the problem and describing some possible solutions. These will include review by subject experts (an elected panel, respected WikiProject members and/or outside reviewers), and the creation of validated versions (or 'blessed editions') of articles, possibly in their own 'validated article' namespace. After the discussion a proposal will be placed on Wikipedia representing the consensus reached, and participants will be encouraged to refine the proposal further. |audio=1 }} 2600 10366 2006-08-31T17:48:16Z Ngb 33 Capitalisation {{abstract |type=presentation |author=Martin Walker |title=Wikipedia 1.0: Offline Releases of the English Language Wikipedia |track=pc |time=Session 2: Friday, 3:00pm (approx) |abstract= "Wikipedia 1.0" is a proposal for releasing part or all of Wikipedia on CD, DVD and/or paper.

Interesting things can be said about them, but anyway, where there is enough interest in the language, the Wikipedia will grow and fill in its niche. The second category however can play an important role in the future of the lives of millions of poor people. ===Bambara=== Or, written down in general. In an attempt to counter this problem the Bambara Wikipedia was launched in the beginning of 2005. During my stay for [http://mali.geekcorps.org Geekcorps Mali] I managed to get some interesting content written, in Bambara. I directly paid 1US$ for any article that I considered good enough. By working with a group of inhabitants of a poor neighbourhood of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamako Bamako] I got to around 50 articles, about many topics in a short time, like [http://bm.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C9%94n%C9%94 milk], [http://bm.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikasso cities], [http://bm.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finkolo villages] and [http://bm.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basi some things I don't understand well enough to even know what it means]. I only speak a little bit of Bambara, and where the spelling doesn't matches with my dictionary it becomes really hard to understand. Using a dictionary, and the Bambara speakers around me, I was also able to translate parts of the interface. ===Peul=== The [http://ff.wikipedia.org Peul Wikipedia] was started in a similar way. One night I worked with Aliu Mamadu Jallo to enter an article about knowledge and to translate the most important part of the interface. But in June 2005 I left Mali. Every now and then there were some improvements from other people. But only a couple of articles in total. The most significant progress was the addition of 1000 entries of the Bambara languages to the French Wiktionnaire. ===Wolof=== Since then I have also been somewhat involved with the [http://wo.wikipedia.org Wikipedia in Wolof], a very common language in Senegal. [http://wo.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Guaka#Quelques_questions Ji-Elle, from France], started adding a lot of country stubs, with the hope that fluent Wolof speakers will pick it up and start adding real text written in Wolof. ===Quechua=== Quechua is a South American language, commonly spoken in the Andean highlands of Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. The [http://qu.wikipedia.org Quechua Wikipedia] was started in 2003. Though April 2006 there were still only 37 articles ([http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/ChartsWikipediaQU.htm stats]). Somehow many stubs where added and activity increased a lot. Next month [http://qu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usuario_Discusi%C3%B3n:AlimanRuna#Some_questions AlimanRuna], who studied Quechua the last 15 years, started writing a lot in Quechua. Currently there are over 150 articles, with regular additions in Quechua. ==How to advance== ===1 stone, 4 birds=== The success of the Swahili Wikipedia will hopefully be an inspiration for people to get more involved with the other Wikipedias in African languages. Considerable press coverage, which would consequently lead to many unpaid edits. And it would be huge result in itself, extremely benifical for the emancipation of African languages. The proposed way of reaching this goal is to pay people with internet time, at least 2 or 3 more time they need for entering their text written beforehand, hence killing 4 birds with one stone: #support the telecenter; #increase access; #generate something of longer term use; #helps the participants develop abilities and sense of contribution/belonging to ===Universities=== It is interesting to send out some emails or letters to language faculties of universities teaching African and Amerindian languages. Students can be stimulated to practice their knowledge on Wikipedia and do very useful work at the same time. I have done it before for the Bambara Wikipedia, without any reaction. But now there are 1000 articles in the Swahili Wikipedia and faculties must be much more aware of Wikipedia and its strength. ==See also== Don Osborn set up a mailing list and wrote a text [[Facilitating African Language Wikipedias]] }} 2610 9685 2006-08-07T21:47:38Z 555 158 {{ abstract | type = presentation | title = 200 Years of Collaborative Ownership: From Open Source Steam Engines to Free Genetics, Linux and Wikipedia | author = Rishab Aiyer Ghosh | track = | license = | time=Session 4: Saturday, 10:15am (approx) | audio=1 | abstract = The phenomenal recent popularity of Wikipedia and the success even in commerce of Linux, Apache and other free software seems incredibly new, even revolutionary.

I start with the example of the late 18th century steam engines, where the battle between patent-protected monopolists and collaborative community development bears a striking resemblance to today's discussion around software. I look at why collaborative ownership works, show data on why people write free software, and how collaborative communities self-organise to form sustainable governance structures.

In terms of methodology, my research proceeds from a vantage bifurcated between symbolic interactionism and critical discourse analysis. Essentially, I offer an exegesis of a series of encounters that Emina, a Bosnian Muslim student of mine, had with Wikipedia while in my Introductory Composition course at California State University, Fresno. Specifically, she entered into a dialogue, albeit one removed from Wikipedia and instead expressed in her essays, with Vedran, Igor, and Nikola, three Wikipedians that made substantial contributions during December of 2004 to the discussion and article pages for Wikipedia’s 'Bosniak' entry. Emina’s effort to negotiate Wikipedia's radical possibilities for social constructions of knowledge, destabilization of conventional narratives, and decentering of fixed identities signals a significant shift in the way that students can be encouraged to interrogate texts. Over the course of the semester Emina found herself alternately intrigued and frustrated with the cultural representations of Bosnian Muslims by Wikipedians. A tremendous portion of her distrust emanated from her inability to discern the standpoints of these three contributors, which in turn made it difficult for her to describe the ideological motives underwriting their representations of the Bosnian genocide. As such, this paper seeks to engage an exigent question: what are the social and pedagogical implications of a writing space where the benefit of open access is offset by an anonymity which ineluctably impedes authorial accountability? Based on Emina's experiences and my own observations, I contend that the problematic of authorial erasure is mitigated in Wikipedia by its ingenuous deferment of textual completeness. |audio=1 }} 2617 5699 2006-07-21T16:22:03Z Ngb 33 Track {{ abstract | type = presentation | title = Collecting Computer-Useable Knowledge from Volunteer Contributors | author = Timothy Chklovksi | affiliation = Information Sciences Institute, University of Southern California | track = ti | abstract = A variety of emerging computer applications require large amounts of knowledge about everyday world, encoded in a format accessible to computers.

We will also present the mechanisms we have developed for ensuring quality of the data (validation by multiple contributors etc). In addition, the talk will overview design principles which we found useful for engaging contributors in the contribution process (immediate feedback, high contributor lists, etc). Finally, we will comment on the issue of when it may be more appropriate to extract knowledge from existing sources (eg is-a relations may be extractable from the text already on the web), vs. when it may be more appropriate to construct a knowledge resource from scratch, by turning to volunteers. }} 2618 7463 2006-08-02T04:22:43Z Walkerma 236 time {{ abstract | type = presentation | title = The Use of Wikis and Wikipedia in Dutch Education | author = Jan-bart de Vreede | affiliation = Kennisnet | track =we | time=Session 5: Saturday, 2:30pm (approx) | abstract = Kennisnet is the Dutch organisation which is responsible for promoting the use of ICT in education.

Wikipedia Governance was conducted, effectively, by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger on the wiki, with the assistance of mailing list english speaking participants, then later, with the help of a more international community. For a while, Wikipedia was supported by Bomis, a search portal selling erotic photographs, founded by Jimmy Wales and Tim Shell in 1996. Bomis provided web servers and bandwidth, paid Sanger in his role as project editor-in-chief (until he left the projects in 2002), and owned key items such as the associated domain names. However, as the costs and popularity of Wikipedia rose, a general reluctance to display advertising on the site — together with a desire to reflect the spirit of openness and neutrality central to Wikipedia — suggested an alternative ownership model. Consequently, on June 20th, 2003 Jimbo announced the creation of the Wikimedia Foundation, a future non-profit organization, to help manage the ever-growing Wikipedia with 600 regular contributors and over 7000 occasionals ,as well as Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikibooks, and future wiki/FDL projects to join the "Wikimedia family". All related assets (both in terms of intellectual property and computer hardware – two servers) were transferred or donated to the new organisation. A board, mandatory for such an organisation, was not immediately constituted though and was not until the deadline for doing so was reached. Around Christmas 2003, a major computer crash prompted the launch a fund-raising drive, organised by Erik Moëller. In less than a week more than $30,000 was raised, thanks partly to a healthy dose of publicity on Slashdot. The money allowed nine new computers to be purchased. It however outlined the need to bring into full working order, the non profit organisation, to receive donations, purchase more servers, handle domain names etc… In January 2004, Jimmy Wales appointed Tim Shell and Michael Davis to the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation. Then, in June 2004, an election was held for two user representative Board members. Following one month of campaigning and two weeks of online voting, Angela Beesley and Florence Nibart-Devouard were elected to join the board. This signed the real beginning of the Foundation.

They read what others have written for them and they listen to what more knowledgeable teachers have to say. It has been observed by educational researchers that resources like textbooks often conceal from students the disciplinary practices, passion and effort that authors invest in producing texts. In earlier work, I learned through interview studies that many Wikipedians explicitly treat participation in Wikipedia as an opportunity to learn about the world through writing and discourse. The powerful learning experiences that Wikipedians described in these studies generated new questions about how contributing to wiki projects can bring about similar experiences for students. How might the design of wiki tools encourage specific kinds of writing practices? What role does the design of collaborative technologies play in shaping our epistemological commitments? I will briefly introduce learning theory that suggests young people are capable of contributing to the intellectual life of the world. In fact, I would like to suggest that we should expect no less from them. I challenge educators, Wikimedians, and researchers alike to think of wikis in education not as a staging ground for producing texts for the edification of students, but as a canvas on which students themselves can engage in the intellectual work of knowledge production. }} 2623 4408 2006-07-07T16:33:37Z Andicat 56 {{ presenter | name = Martin Benjamin | wikiname = | onwiki = | website = http://research.yale.edu/swahili/serve_pages/watu/martin_benjamin.php | abstract = Huru na Bure: Swahili Collaboration and the Future of African | code = MB1 }} 2624 5351 2006-07-17T18:53:08Z Ngb 33 '''Martin Benjamin''' is the founder and editor of the Kamusi Project [http://www.yale.edu/swahili Internet Living Swahili Dictionary].

An Exploratory Evaluation of Wikipedia's Topical Coverage | author = Derek Lackaff | author2 = Alexander Halavais | track = pc | fulltext=1 | license = | time=Session 1: Friday, 10:45am | abstract = The 'reliability' and 'credibility' of the freely-editable Wikipedia are issues of popular interest and concern. Much of Wikipedia's recent media attention has been the result of errors of commission, where factually inaccurate information has been deliberately placed in articles, or relevant information was deleted from articles. Wikipedia's open and distributed editorial structure may serve to ameliorate this type of error, but introduces the potential for a second type or error: errors of omission. While some topics, such as the fictional Harry Potter universe, may be covered in extraordinary detail (over 300 articles), other topics, such as geriatrics, are addressed by only a handful of entries (14 articles). As an exploratory effort, we compare three topical knowledge domains on Wikipedia – poetry, physics, and linguistics – with published encyclopedic treatments. While these fields are chosen for convenience, and may not represent a true sample, they should indicate similar relationships in other scholarly fields. We do not compare the content of these articles, but rather the degree of coincidental topical coverage between traditional academic encyclopedias and Wikipedia. |audio=1 }} 2645 8439 2006-08-04T23:29:12Z Walter 46 Reverted edits by [[Special:Contributions/GeorgefromAccounting|GeorgefromAccounting]] ([[User_talk:GeorgefromAccounting|Talk]]); changed back to last version by [[User:Rodasmith|Rodasmith]] {{ abstract | type = presentation | title = Differentiation of Authentication Regimes to Prevent Vandalism | author = Gerard Meijssen | track = pc | license = | time=Session 8: Sunday, 2:00pm | abstract = At present the Wikimedia Foundation security model has two layers; * Data layer * System layer Where the first level can be characterized as soft security, more stringent needs exist for keeping the system from being attacked on a system level. The system level is as far as I can see well taken care of. It is because of the great care of the developers that we have been spared much embarrassment. This presentation will focus on the authentication methods for the data layer. When a system is assessed for the quality of its security, the first thing to be considered is what the requirements of the application are. For the Wikimedia Foundation it has been traditionally that everyone is allowed anonymous access and the right is given to create and edit content. When people abuse this trust, it is an army of volunteers who have fixed the resulting mess and, banning vandals from more edits. When an analysis is made of the existing vandalism, there are several ways in which it is easy for vandals to offend again. What is worse, is that because of bans given to vandals, people who have nothing to do with vandalism find accusations of vandalism or are banned. In the future there will be a need for different types of authentication. To mind comes when teacher student relations happen within material to do with Wikiversity. What I want to propose is differentiating in the way authentication of our users happen depending on the origin of the user. There are large areas of the Internet where people have a stable IP address. In other places even countries there is no such thing. By differentiating the origin of a user you can have different authentication requirements in place. There are people who have written patches to MediaWiki to support OpenID. OpenID is a protocol that allows for the use of authentication to other resources. This implies that people who are known elsewhere can use the same user and password to connect to a Wikimedia project. Surfnet has in its A-Select software authentication software that does for many different ways of authenticating people. In essence, we already use authentication in a restrictive way. We block schools because of vandalism; we do not allow anonymous users to create new articles on the English Wikipedia. We are investigating the integration of YADIS and the A-Select protocols. This will result in a bigger palette of using authentication as bumps in the road for vandals. I expect that by the time of Wikimania we will be able to explain what we can do and what we cannot do. I will also want to talk about privacy concerns that come up when authentication is used. }} 2646 10242 2006-08-28T05:57:50Z Brassratgirl 3 +slides link {{abstract |type=presentation |title=All the World's a Wiki: How BarCamp was Planned in 6 Days Using a Wiki, IM, IRC, Blogs and Word of Mouth |author=Chris Messina |track=fk |license= |slides=1 |video=1 |time=Session 1: Friday, 10:45am |abstract= BarCamp is the wiki of events. Organized by the participants themselves, each camp reflects the flavor of local community and gives an equal voice to all those who attend. Indeed, the model demands that all attendees present or help someone else present. In that way, BarCamps represent the best of traditional knowledge-transfer conferences while focusing on the oftentimes more interesting and rewarding social aspect of "hallway conversations". In this presentation, I would like to discuss how the BarCamp wiki was used to organize the original BarCamp and how it has since then been used to fuel an international movement of camps, traveling from Palo Alto to Ireland to Amsterdam and hitting India, Korea and over 30 other locations in its brief existence. BarCamp represents a radical shift in event organizing models, the power of open and transparent systems for learning and sharing knowledge as well as a tool for galvanizing both on and offline communities. |audio=1 }} 2647 10053 2006-08-13T22:11:06Z Jdforrester 11 Update presenter name. {{ abstract | type = presentation | title = Trust and Wikipedia: The Roles of Social Capitals in Participatory Knowledge Production | author = Cathy P. S. Ma | track = ss | license = | time=Session 1: Friday, 11:20am (approx) | audio=1 | abstract = Made possible by the open wiki structure, copyleft-movements, and the emergence of social capitals online, Wikipedia is perhaps more a product of trust than just volunteer’s effort alone. Four important genres of trust on Wikipedia are vital to Wikipedia’s development: # Trust in the participants # Participants’ trust in the project # Public trusts on Wikipedia’s credibility # State trust in this online Project. While Wikipedia is picking its momentum in becoming one of the top 40 sites as counted by Alexa, increasingly it is facing different crises that threaten the four types of trust it founded on. This paper aims to provide a trajectory of incidents and the way they cast ripples of threats that potentially deplete its social capitals, such as the impacts of the ‘false’ biography of the veteran journalist John Seigenthaler, Chinese government's attempt to ban Wikipedia since October 2005, shrewd but malicious trolls and vandalisms. This presentation aims to explore the kinds of social capital that exist on Wikipedia, as well as shedding light on newly emerged online social ecology and its impacts on the formation of social network that sometimes transcends distance and space. }} 2648 9615 2006-08-07T16:25:41Z 555 158 {{Abstract | type=workshop | title=Wikisource Workshop: Editorial Choices | author=Jennifer Zagurski | author2=Danny Wool | track= | license= | time=Session 4: Saturday, 9:30am | audio=[[/Audio]] | abstract= This workshop will introduce the participants to the English Wikisource and how it can be used as a resource for Wikipedia. The introduction will discuss how Wikisource compares against other digital libraries and on adding material from local resources. A presentation of editorial choice at Wikisource will cover choosing the best edition of a text and handling differences between editions. It will also discuss the use of subpages at the English Wikisource. The next topic will be Wikisource as a resource for Wikipedia articles. Some existing reference works at the English Wikisource will be examined, and a discussion on finding additional material will follow. The main workshop activity will be the "Sisterly Scavenger Hunt." The participants will be given readings from Wikisource texts and be instructed to find as many Wikipedia articles as possible where they could be referenced. The readings will be distributed in a printed workbook and those without laptops will be asked to guess as to what articles might exist which could cite the information. It is hoped that some citations will begin being added during the workshop. The workshop will conclude with a survey of new opportunities with Wikisource.}} 2649 7470 2006-08-02T04:28:05Z Walkerma 236 Time change {{abstract | type=bof | title=Language and cultural barriers and challenges to Wikipedia | author=Pramod Raghavendra | author2=Hari Prasad Nadig | track=pc | license= | time=Session 5: Saturday, 2:00pm | abstract= There are nearly 200 language editions of Wikipedia, of which 130 are active and 14 editions have more than 50,000 articles each. Nearly 12 languages of those 14 language editions are spoken in Europe and 13 of them are spoken mainly in developed countries. This session aims to discover reasons, beyond the obvious of limited access to technology & poverty, for this disparity and discuss means and methods, to correct the same. It also aims to bring together, Wikipedia contributors from various languages and cultures and share their experiences and difficulties (technical, social and cultural) in contributing to Wikipedia. Participants could share how improvements in language technologies, like Unicode for instance, are affecting creation of content. They could share the average profile of contributors, how they are responding to the Wikipedia culture of openness and sharing, which could be more open than the society they live in and provide an insight into, how Wikipedia’s policies get interpreted and applied. Finally, participants could discuss, alternative methods to distribute content and efforts to bring in more participants, especially outside, the stereotypical technically savvy contributors. }} 2653 4474 2006-07-08T18:23:02Z Acarvin 332 Photo of Andy Carvin, taken in Stockholm, Sweden, June 2005. == Licensing == {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} 2656 5342 2006-07-17T18:08:45Z Sj 2 Redirecting to [[Volunteering]] #redirect [[Volunteering#Assigments]] 2657 7345 2006-08-01T15:26:44Z Mrenoch 428 {{abstract | type = poster | author = Jonah Bossewitch | title = Platonic Wikis and Subversive Social Interfaces | track = we | license = | abstract = A presentation from the forthcoming anthology on wikis and education - ''The Wild, Wild Wiki: Unsettling the Frontiers of Cyberspace''.

These include documentation, reporting, project management, online glossaries and dictionaries, discussion groups, or general information systems. To a large extent, their wide-spread acceptance is due to their simplicity and collaborative nature, allowing easy, article-centric work on hypertextual content in workgroups, as well as to the fact that they have proven suitable even in more specialized application environments. Specific environments have specialized needs, however, that may pose additional requirements outside of the scope of the general-purpose nature of the default Wiki implementations. Our project addresses the question of how content structure, interaction, and navigation in a Wiki system can be adapted and improved, in order to better suit the requirements of environments where the node-centric hypertext paradigm alone may no longer suffice. }} 2687 4718 2006-07-11T15:20:21Z Ngb 33 [[Image:Wikimania(80x15).gif|right]] This page is part of the [[Proceedings:Introduction|Proceedings of Wikimania 2006]].

Kahle has built technologies, companies and institutions to advance the goal of universal access to all knowledge. After graduating from the [[:w:Massachusetts Institute of Technology|Massachusetts Institute of Technology]] (MIT) in 1982, he helped found a supercomputer company, [[:w:Thinking Machines|Thinking Machines]], that built systems for searching large text collections. In 1989, he invented the internet’s first publishing and distributed search system, [[:w:Wide Area Information Server|WAIS]] (Wide Area Information Server). WAIS Inc. created the online presence for many of the world's largest publishers, and was purchased by [[:w:AOL|America Online]] in 1995. In 1996, he co-founded [[:w:Alexa Internet|Alexa Internet]], which provides search and discovery services included in more than 90 per cent of web browsers, and was purchased by [[:w:Amazon.com|Amazon]] in 1999. He is a board member of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and a plaintiff in Kahle v. Gonzales (formerly Kahle v. Ashcroft), which challenges recent copyright term extensions. He was selected as a member of the [[:w:American Academy of Arts and Sciences|American Academy of Arts and Sciences]] in 2005, the AlwaysOn/Technorati Open Media 100 in 2005, the Upside 100 in 1997, the Micro Times 100 in 1996 and 1997, and the Computer Week 100 in 1995. 2715 9404 2006-08-06T20:50:49Z Walter 46 {{abstract | type = presentation | author = Judith Donath | title = Identity, Anonymity and the Wiki | track = ss | time=Session 1: Friday, 10:45am | abstract = Identity is very lightweight in most current wikis. Many allow anonymous editing; others request log-in, but do not authenticate the provided identity. In this talk I will discuss the pros and cons of different approaches to identity in a collaborative environment, including such issues as faceted vs. unified identities and how new interfaces that highlight author identity can be designed. Different approaches are best for different purposes; the goal of this talk is to stimulate thinking about the range of possibilities and to help system designers understand what is best for their particular situation. |audio=1 }} 2718 6901 2006-07-30T21:23:42Z Ngb 33 -website, in template '''Malvina Nissim''' graduated in Linguistics from the University of Pisa, Italy, in 1998.

For those of you bringing cars, be aware that parking is not readily available around Harvard Square. Street parking is often very difficult to find. Algunos estacionamientos están disponibles cerca de la plaza pero pueden ser algo caros.

To be effective, today's diplomat must convey a deeper understanding of his or her country beyond the international headlines. A contextually rich view of issues, infused with comments produced by conversations with government ministers, academics, and taxi drivers, is the desired deliverable to the institution. The information revolution brought to an end the summarizing by diplomats of the local news to Washington, however, it now permits individuals to collaborate electronically at global distances on shaping the perception of issues, trends, and events. A profoundly hierarchical organization, the Department of State's employees have engaged in collaborative narration for creating official reporting, with junior-level drafters producing documents for mid- and senior-level editors and approvers. Beyond this formal messaging between diplomatic posts and Washington has proliferated heavy traffic of horizontal messages delivered by email and web pages. While this communication has been a boon for the sharing of knowledge, it is haphazard and uneven in its delivery of desired content to intended recipients. Recognizing that the Department’s employees carry a tremendous amount of unique experience and knowledge with them as they rotate through overseas and domestic assignments, deployment of knowledge capture technologies to collect and disseminate even a fraction of what is actually known. Wiki pages, which may be edited by any employee with demonstrable experience, offer a great deal of flexibility to a work force in constant motion. We do not seek to replicate the information contained within Wikipedia, but rather to answer 'What are the issues for Embassy Quito?' or 'What are the functions of the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor?' A wiki for State is designed to harness the input of the organization to explain what it is and what it does. In an agency that can ill-afford reinvention, the wiki model, one of widely-available, electronically searchable textual information, may serve as a valuable tool is translating corridor knowledge generated slowly over time, to institutional knowledge available via computer. The Department of State’s Office of eDiplomacy is now engaging in a pilot process to deploy an internal wiki space, entitled Diplopedia, to test the concept of a wiki as an institutional knowledge repository and information sharing tool. By the summer of 2007, we will complete an evaluation of this pilot and look forward to sharing our observations with the Wikimedia Foundation. }} 2782 10588 2006-09-30T15:29:54Z 128.118.155.233 /* Jim Giles: [[Proceedings:JG1|Comparing Wikipedia and Britannica]] */ add Ogg Vorbis on Commons Video, audio, presentation slides, and transcript archives from Wikimania 2006.

If you've got a laptop and are attending a session, please log onto the appropriate gobby server in that room; if you're on a gobby server and nobody's transcribing, go ahead and start. We'll collect the logs at the end of each day for cleanup and posting. == If you are currently live at Wikimania with a laptop == # [http://darcs.0x539.de/trac/obby/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/wiki/Download download] and install Gobby.

Basically, each session will have one speedtyper to capture raw content on gobby, 1-3 speededitors filling in the gaps and lack of punctuation, and a netbridger keeping the in-person and online aspects of each session synced up. Afterwards, we're going to need translators for everything. Of course, if you can translate live and want to volunteer, we'd love to have you do that as well. == During sessions (live) == ==== Gobby speedtypers ==== For each live session, we need someone with a laptop and fingers of fury. If you type fast - fast enough to keep up with a speaker - this means you. Basically, you'll be typing the speakers' words (and the audiences' questions) verbatim as you listen. The idea is to get the largest dump of speech-to-text possible as it's happening; don't worry about grammar, spelling, punctuation, and catching every single word - that's what your speededitors are there for. Speedtypers will be using [http://gobby.0x539.de/index.html Gobby], so you'll need to have that installed on your wireless-enabled laptop before the session starts. ==== Gobby speededitors ==== For each live session, we'll need 1-3 speededitors with laptops and sharp eyes to help out the speedtypers. You fill in the gaps; when a speedtyper is racing past 120wpm to keep up with a fast talker, they're going to inevitably miss chunks of sentences, indications of who's speaking, and other things like proper spelling. Your job is to turn the speedtyper's hastily-written text into something that's understandable by participants outside the conference room. Speededitors will also be using [http://gobby.0x539.de/index.html Gobby], so you'll need to have that installed on your wireless-enabled laptop before the session starts. ==== Netbridgers ==== For each live session, one of the speededitors will be the designated netbridger, serving as the point of contact between our watchers on the internet and the live session itself. They will be the Voice of the Netizens, voicing comments and questions from the IRC chat to the speaker, and the relayer of edited transcript (from the Gobby sessions with the speedtyper) to the IRC chatroom. Netbridgers, like other speededitors, will be using [http://gobby.0x539.de/index.html Gobby], so you'll need to have that installed on your wireless-enabled laptop before the session starts. You will also need to have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat IRC] on your laptop to commingle with the remote participants. ==== Live translators ==== We are in dire need of live translators in '''Mandarin, Spanish, and French,''' during a few sessions to allow our international audience to participate live. If you can listen in English while typing in a different language, especially one of the above three, please [[user:Mchua|email Mel]] right now. == After sessions (live/remote) == ==== Remote transcribing ==== In the event that we can't have live transcription of a session for one reason or another, we need people to make transcriptions from the audio files and/or podcasts. ==== Transcript translators ==== We need people to translate these transcripts as soon as possible after the event - the night after each session, if possible. Please sign up to translate specific sessions in the schedule below. We would particularly like to have each transcript translated into '''Mandarin, Spanish, and French,''' but all languages are welcome. = Schedule = Let us know which events from the [[Schedule|main schedule]] you'd be willing to fill what roles from (speedtyping, speedediting, netbridging, remote transcribing, translating). <u>Example</u>: '''Presentation''' J.Random Hacker -- speedytyper M.Other editor -- editor R.Bridger -- remote editor == Friday == {| border ="1" style="font-size:80%" |- !Session !

Synopsis: * World Book separates fact checking from copy editing to help ensure accuracy, clarity, and impartiality by submitting content to another pair of eyes. Our fact-checking standard is to verify discrete statements of fact, expositions of theory, and similar elements in at least two independent reliable sources, more if they are available. In instances of contemporary issues, sources may include an individual with pertinent expertise or demonstrated experience. * The data may be right, but the order in which they are given may be wrong. The copy may be understandable, but less important factors may be emphasized over more important factors. Correct sequence and proper emphasis can be as critical to the accurate presentation of some topics as is the precision of facts. * “Another pair of eyes” can be especially helpful in establishing impartiality. Obvious bias usually is evident. Inadvertent bias borne of cultural predispositions or a scholar’s understandable pride in his or her specialization can be more difficult to discern. Weighing emphasis (above) can help to check both evident and latent bias. The process of applying house style also can help check bias. * To paraphrase something probably not spoken by Thomas Jefferson, “The price of accuracy is eternal vigilance.” Apart from data we expect will change—population figures and the like—other data may not change but their interpretation may be elaborated. Theories are proved or disproved, and information accretes around them in the process. Systematically capturing, validating, and incorporating such organic growth is a further aspect of maintaining accuracy in general reference material. }} 2824 5730 2006-07-21T17:15:52Z Ngb 33 +parent {{ abstract | type = presentation | author = Paul Gazzolo | title = Endurance Editing: The Work that Makes an Encyclopedia Work | track = fk | parentcode = KC1 | parenttitle = Reference Work Publishing Panel | abstract = To effectively present the who, what, when, where, how, and why of things, the assemblers of an encyclopedia must decide on their audience and be mindful of that audience’s expectations and needs with respect to all facets of the encyclopedia's content. The audience for World Book’s publications includes pre-K through grade 12 students and non-expert adults looking for information to apply to school or job assignments or help in comprehending a varied, confusing, and conflictful world. The components of constructing World Book include: determining subjects for new or revised treatment; preparing article content, length, and reading level specifications; recruiting contributor(s); editing manuscripts for compliance to spec and World Book style and for clarity; cross- and fact-checking for consistency and accuracy; choosing illustrative material; cross-referencing, indexing, meta tagging; identifying and vetting selected sources of further information. Are accuracy and authority different? Accuracy refers to factual content that can be validated in independent reliable sources. Accuracy is maintained through systematic review and updating of content. Authority refers to concepts and theories about which people hold different opinions. Authority is established by surveying the spectrum of perspectives around a topic and presenting each perspective nonjudgmentally and in proportion to its prevalence in the debate. What is the point of a 'traditional' general encyclopedia when there are search engines and the Wikipedia and other communally produced information sources? To provide information users with multiple options. Not every information need is a nail, so information users need more than a hammer in their tool kit. Freedom to find information is perhaps a corollary of freedom of expression and a 'natural right', as some people consider freedom of expression to be. }} 2825 5241 2006-07-16T21:42:42Z Brassratgirl 3 link Paul A.

He will be joining the faculty of Quinnipiac University's School of Communications in the autumn of 2006. His research examines "social computing" and its impact on social change, journalism, education, and public policy. The Online Journalism Review recently referred to Halavais as one of a number of new "blogologists" who seek to study the social effects of this use of the internet. Much of this work examines the intersection of geographical location and online content. In particular he has analyzed the hyperlinked networks among nations, cities, blogs, and political websites. In addition to teaching about new information technologies, Halavais teaches communication theory at the undergraduate and graduate levels. He has recently edited a reader called Cyberporn & Society, and teaches a course on the same topic. He is currently working on a book about the intersection of government and learning online. 2839 5297 2006-07-17T17:46:52Z Ngb 33 Use template {{ presenter | name = Alexander Halavais | affiliation = University of Buffalo | website = http://alex.halavais.net/ | abstract = Sins of Omission?

Please contact us at 917-692-4564 or email [mailto:vanbertozzi@gmail.com Vanessa]. We're making a short educational video about Wikipedia. This video will go into an online, free database of eduational materials we're developing for [http://www.projectnml.org ProjectNML] (New Media Literacies), a research project headed up by Professor Henry Jenkins and funded by the MacArthur Foundation. We are grad students at MIT's [http://cms.mit.edu/ Comparative Media Studies program]. The videos in this database will be bundled with hands-on activities and grade-school level media studies curricula. It's an exciting project and we're hoping to contact individual Wikipedia editors before Wikimania, so that we can arrange interviews. The purpose of our Wikipedia video is to introduce jr high and high schoolers (and teachers and parents) to Wikipedia, the nuts and bolts of how it works. But we also make these videos to serve as jumping off points for thoughtful dicussions about the role media plays in our lives. Wikipedia, as we well know, brings up many fascinating topics. What do you Wikimaniacs think the most important aspects of Wikipedia are? Collaborative writing/editing for sure...Open-source access to knowledge...Accuracy in representations of people and facts...What would YOU like to talk abot with us on camera? What topics, stories, anecdotes would you like kids to hear? What ethical challenges do you face? What would you say to a teacher, parent, or Encyclopedia Britannica person who doesn't think WIkipedia is a legitimate source? What about the online social interactions of writing with many folks you've never met face-to-face? What drives you to be dedicated and passionate about Wikipedia? Neal and I met with Wikipedia editory SJ and we brainstormed an idea for a segment of our video. There must be a particularly controversial entry with a long history of negotiation and revision--SJ suggested Gdansk/Danzig--that we could use as an entry point. Thus we'd be able to use a specific example to talk about the issues of collaborative writing, contested history, transcultural representations. Most of all, we want to illustrate these issues in an engaging manner. We want to make a video that will be fun for kids to watch, that they'll be dying to talk about after they watch it! Please write back with your recommendations. We're excited to hear what you think of our project.

Furthermore, a new feature for importing ontologies will be available soon. While this is extremely useful, users might find it difficult to choose which relation to use in a given context, especially if they want to be compliant with a suitable ontology. Complete freedom in creating new semantic relations can eventually lead to low interoperability and sharing, and expose the semantic capability of wikipedia to the risk of failure. Without explicit information about mapping aspects, equivalence between relations having the same sense would be completely ignored and adding semantic relations by simply manual editing is a very error prone task. It is also true that the success of Wikipedia is due to its philosophy of 'relaxed constraints', so we need a soft strategy that helps users in creating and/or choosing the semantic relations appropriately. We believe Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Wikipedia have a lot to tell each other, also in this respect. NLP, broadly put, is concerned with enabling machines to understand and generate natural language, as spoken/written by humans. Higher level NLP systems are aimed at extracting all sorts of information from text, answering questions formulated in natural language, automatically translating documents from one language to another, generating summaries of one or several documents, and soon. Such composite systems are built of modules that tackle specific tasks. For example, in order to extract information from a given document (or set of documents), one needs to start by recognising entities of interest, such as persons, for example, or locations. This task is known as Named Entity Recognition. Examples of other useful tasks for wider systems are anaphora resolution (finding all linguistic expressions in a text that refer to the same entity), and word sense disambiguation (distinguishing uses of 'bank' as the financial institution and uses of ``bank" as the river side), for instance. Although crucial for most NLP tasks, we will not discuss parsing. With increased power of machines, and the use of statistical methods, recent years have seen huge progress in several areas of NLP. However, the bottleneck of most NLP system is the acquisition of lexical and world knowledge. For example, take a system that needs to answer a question like 'What is the role of Bill Clinton's wife in current American politics?'. A system that searches documents to extract such information needs to know that Bill Clinton's wife is Hillary (Rodham) Clinton, that 'junior senator of New York' is a political role, and that New York is in the United States, which can be referred to by the adjective 'American'. Wikipedia is the largest source of encyclopaedic knowledge currently available in electronic form, and therefore the biggest source of organised information which can be exploited for NLP purposes. Conversely, NLP techniques can be used to semi-automatically enrich Wikipedia from a semantic persepctive, as well as provide means for assisting the creation of Wikipedia articles and links. Specifically, we propose an extension to Semantic MediaWiki which provides users with a helping mechanism for annotating Wikipedia content in an easier and more consistent way, by exploiting both NLP techniques and reasoning on existing local ontologies. More generally, by means of several application examples, we will discuss the mutual benefit that NLP and Wikipedia can gain from exploiting one another, and the advantages and limits of such an exchange. }} 2915 5760 2006-07-21T19:38:41Z Brassratgirl 3 stub bio Gary Price is a librarian and the Director of Online Information Resources at [http://www.ask.com Ask.com].

These communities enable Wikipedia users and contributors to coordinate their activites, patients to cope better with their diseases, students to discuss homework projects, hobbyists to pursue their passions, and teens to chat about their lives. Scholars use online communities to track academic topics, lawyers seek legal information, and professionals exchange business knowledge. A variety of software facilitates information exchange and communication including: wikis, blogs, discussion boards, instant messaging, and immersive virtual environments. In this talk I will discuss the concept of an online community, review my research terrain and briefly present some findings, for example: a framework for developing and analyzing online communities, and results from studies about empathy, information exchange, and why people often observe but do not actively contribute (i.e., ‘lurk’) online. Empathy, information exchange, and behavior online varies between communities. In one study, for example, we found strong differences in the amount of lurking in patient support communities compared with technical support communities. Analysis of survey responses from 219 observers revealed reasons for lurking that included: wanting to learn more about the community, intending to be helpful, poor usability, poor group dynamics, and desire to take without giving back. Based on our findings, we proposed changes in social management and information architecture to encourage participation, support empathy between participants, and facilitate information seeking and browsing. Finally, I will suggest future research and development directions for encouraging community activities associated with Wikipedia. }} 2968 6052 2006-07-23T22:53:57Z Brassratgirl 3 +dg abstract {{abstract |title=A conversation about citizen journalism |author=Dan Gillmor |track=Free Knowledge and access to Information |abstract= A discussion about wikinews, citizen journalism, and how to use wikis in reporting. <i>more to come</i> }} 2970 6058 2006-07-23T23:32:18Z WorkerBee 61 2971 6064 2006-07-24T00:40:54Z Brassratgirl 3 ... ... 2972 6065 2006-07-24T00:41:00Z River 475 me. me. 2973 6066 2006-07-24T00:41:46Z Brion VIBBER 1 ~~~ [[User:Brion VIBBER|Brion VIBBER]] 2974 6067 2006-07-24T00:41:49Z Brassratgirl 3 more silliness. more silliness. 2977 6103 2006-07-24T14:57:29Z Midom 401 2979 10164 2006-08-19T20:30:05Z GreenReaper 29 just label it Free Knowledge and Access to Information {{abstract |author=Michael Eisen |title=Free Knowledge and Access to Information |video=yes |track=Free Knowledge and Access to Information |time=Session 5, Saturday |abstract= I will talk about the "open access" movement in scientific publishing that is working to make the world's scientific and medical literature a freely available public resource.

In spite of the Web and Wikipedia, some parts of the reference business are thriving. I'll try to explain why, and talk about what an encyclopedia publisher actually does and how I build relationships with experts in fields as diverse as world history, community, sustainability, and future studies. The creation of knowledge networks and tapping into international communities of experts is the key to building unique global resources, whether online or in print. I'll air some dirty laundry about reference publishing (many encyclopedias are not written by experts at all, and a surprising number are not fact-checked), and we'll discuss why and how Wikipedia is different from encyclopedias planned by a publisher and written by commissioned experts. }} 2985 6153 2006-07-25T03:39:12Z Aphaia 6 try to improve navigation in ja ---- <center>[[メインページ]] - [[総合案内]] - [[Call for participation/ja|参加申し込み]] - [[連絡先]]</center> 2989 6185 2006-07-25T14:18:00Z 81.208.5.155 The main criticisms made about Wikipedia, and the hot themes which constitute its nature, concern three aspects in particular: neutrality, democracy in the collaborative process, and content quality. If we connect the three issues together we immediately understand that each one represents an essential aspect for a free and universal encyclopaedia. At the same time a lack of balance among them could mean that one is favoured above the others, which could be a problem. Greater quality may require some restrictions to the way people create and collaborate and it could give a sort of closure in favour of people who are more competent but who may be less passionate and motivated. On the other hand too much “openness” could lead to anarchy. The question of neutrality is easy to solve: is it easier to be neutral when there are many opinions or when there are only a few? Traditional encyclopaedias are high quality but crystallized: Wikipedia should be something more and transfer a quality of knowledge that doesn’t mean just accuracy of the terms, but dynamic contents, continuous evolution, free and open access to the information. Quality should accurately represent the world where we live and those who write and read Wikipedia, so potentially all human beings. It’s important to ensure good quality and to have rules, but the rules must guarantee (and not restrict) the right to choose, and should open the door to everybody. What if Tim Berners Lee had preferred an oligarchy to build the World Wide Web, or Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds had decided to close their projects in the name of higher quality? However, they finally obtained the high quality they sought with the help of a big community: as Eric Raymond said, “Many heads are inevitably better than one. 2990 6199 2006-07-25T18:44:14Z Tlogmer 8 2993 6266 2006-07-26T01:42:59Z Jairtrejo 494 /* Viaje y visas */ {{main-header}} :''Altre lingue/Other languages: [[Frequently Asked Questions/it|Italiano]] [[Frequently Asked Questions/es|Español]]'' == Lo Básico == '''Q.''' ¿Qué es Wikimania? <br/> '''A.'''

The over supply of durables goods will most certainly lead to stagflation , we have seen this senario before in historic events . The Government needs money , so they are raising the interest rates because they know growth can't be sustained off of an surplused credit market , and saturated durable goods markets , that can't keep up the sales pace it needs for increasing tax revenues , based off profit levels . We need a balancing beam , like a alternative investment platform , that will allow a way to offset the push for growth in the durable goods sector , for profits , to a area that can grow based off of worldwide economic demand on sustaining societies needs , based on 40 or 50 year future growth cycle projections , and place this demand of growth on a valuation growth sector of investment platforms that can generate growth based off of future valuation needs of the worldwide economic infrustructure growth needs in a Leveraged position placed upon the Precious Metals Markets , via a Floating Bretton Woods system . This approach would then yield a direction to balance the credit fed growth of the Societies of the world , based off of only a Durable goods direction , and using only Consumer purchasing power as the only means to grow Capital Markets . The balancing act between these two types of growth sectors can and Will Self Balance , Credit markets , and sustain economic growth worldwide , if these two market secotrs can run in Tandem , so people can invest back and forth between them, and the effect of a International Floating Precious Metals market that is valued equally worldwide , will give the investors and the Governments of WTO trading partners avenues to balance Trade Deficits , because of differences in values of paper currencies , that when one countries lower values are traded with a higher valued currency , the effect is a Trade Imbalance , ie: China and the Pacific Rim Countries , and the USA trade imbalances today . The worry that the investor might take to one or the other of these two market sectors , is not a Worry at this point , because people will invest in one for a while only to reinvest later in the other, and will be invested in both , but fluctuate their investment based on economic outlooks as they unfold , because the desire to want durable goods won't stop . So if this trend is allowed to function in a Tandem platform , then the saturated Credit driven , Durable Goods markets will balance , and at the same time world growth can be sustained , lifting societies up out of Poverty , and Maybe just maybe , we all become a Happier , Healthier , Group of People that make up the Societies that live in Peace . Please those of you in Key Positions of Power within the World , don't let those in control of Resouce Based markets sway the Econimic Policies decisions being made , that could direct this trend into motion , as it would be a future that we all could benefit from . I was told by a wise person this statement " A Good Deal Has got to be a Good Deal for Everyone , or Pretty Soon it is not a Good Deal for Anyone " . This is Powerful , and should be Considered for Economic Community Sustainability , and would lead to peace . Thank you for your debate on this and have a Great day . Anthony J. Newbill , P.O.

It refers to the fact that they had no written language, just as online-ting has no spoken language (at least 'til the idea of voice-tings came up, using VoIP along with the collab-editor session). === List of wikimania-tings === * [[wikimania-ting2]], to be appointed (use UTC, please as this is global not local) * [[wikimania-ting1]], 2006-07-27/28, first attempts The idea for tinging was made up on the [http://is-root.de/w/index.php?title=TingWiki ting-wiki]. 3034 6619 2006-07-28T18:32:19Z MattisManzel 487 A [[wikimania-ting]] wikimania-ting1_talk participants: * sj : SJ, 1 cambridge center, floor 10. up Way Too Late Tonight. * ma: Mattis Manzel, Venice/Italy * mchua: Mel Chua, Needham MA ---- ma: Nice to see you trying out on collab editor. sj: oh really. really nice. ma: I've aquired some expierience on collab-editing and would be glad to help. mchua: Excellent. Thanks, Mako - I think this will work great. We just need to make sure that everyone installs gobby 3.0 to be compatible. ma: Thanks Mako, true. sj: What are y'all up to? Should we edit with a purpose -- say to draft an ingredients list for "wikimania lozenges" ? ma: signing in the beginning makes sense as when exporting a ting to wiki the colors get lost and you do not know who wrote what anymore. <br> Gobby is '''n o t''' perfect. To my expierience it crashes like once in two or three hours. When it crashes "rien ne va plus", no saving, no scrolling, nothing. All you can do is take a screenshot of the visible part of the page and "Ciao!" That means ''save'' a ting to your hard disk like every five minutes so the ting is not entirely lost. Imaginable is also that a stupid troll comes along and deletes the whole session. Gobby has no history (like the proprietary MoonEdit has). In any case when retrieving a ting from a saved file the colors are lost as well. <br> Maybe we can appoint for a real-time session. I'm in Europe. What we do in the tings is having a ting"n"_talk page (like this one, didn't name it appropriately) and a ting"n"_document page. the document-page is for live summarising the session. Results are copied over to it while still talking. Later the talk is copied to the ''discussion page'' and the document to the ''article page'' of the wiki. A major drawback of gobby is that the mac installation is a horror-trip. It takes a night of dwnloading and three GiB (!) of free diskspace - that's what I heard and read. I do not know of anybody who has it running on a mac. MoonEdit has no mac version at all. ma: Ok, after the sobby (that's the standalone server for gobby) was down I now retrieved the page from the copy on my harddisk and as you see (in gobby) the colors for that part of the text are gone. I guess it would make sense to make a page on the wikimania-wiki to make more people aware of collab-editing. I will do so now and copy in what has been written so far. 3041 6712 2006-07-29T09:23:17Z 86.134.31.26 Josh Laird is not a cool fellow. He really doesn't know how to cook a good chicken.

It is based particularly on an investigation of the linguistic formality of Wikipedia vs. Britannica Online’s articles. Formality is the most important variation between styles or registers. According to Heylighen and Dewaele a formal style is characterized by detachment, accuracy, and rigidity. It is unambiguous, context independent (comprehensible by wider set of persons, groups and cultures) and highly informative. The aim of this research is an empirical measurement of the stylistic formality rate in the two analysed encyclopaedic corpora. The analysis is based on the quantitative investigation of different word classes, indicative keywords, significant word-suffixes and on the average length of words, sentences and encyclopedic articles to conclude with a contrastive analysis of the respective indexes of readability (Gunning-Fox) and neutrality. Quantitative results have been supplemented with qualitative textual observations on the nature of information and organization provided in the two analyzed corpora. }} 3060 6878 2006-07-30T19:54:39Z Ngb 33 Use template {{ presenter | name = Jonathan Leybovich | abstract = The Wikicite Project: Toward Building a Scholarly Apparatus | code = JL1 }} 3061 6882 2006-07-30T20:08:14Z Markus Krötzsch 530 [[Presenters/Markus Krotzsch]] moved to [[Presenters/Markus Krötzsch]]: correct spelling of name #REDIRECT [[Presenters/Markus Krötzsch]] 3062 6894 2006-07-30T20:30:08Z 128.197.150.183 what? 3064 6896 2006-07-30T20:42:55Z Brassratgirl 3 day spec template {| border="1" style="width: 100%; margin: 0 auto 1.5em; border: 1px solid #999999; border-collapse: collapse;" |+ <span style="line-height: 200%; font-size: 150%;">{{{caption}}}</span> |- style="background: #cccccc; vertical-align: top;" ! style="width: {{{timewidth}}}; padding: .3em;" | Time ! style="padding: .3em;" | Session - Ames ! style="padding: .3em;" | Session ! style="padding: .3em;" | Session ! style="padding: .3em;" | Session ! style="padding: .3em;" | Discussions ! style="padding: .3em;" | Workshops 3068 7553 2006-08-02T14:22:09Z 18.85.46.153 /* MediaWiki Extensions for Education */ It seems that the current Hacking Days facilities are going to be insufficient to accommodate recent interest in mediawiki hacking. Due to this, to discuss non-core mediawiki stuff, we will indeed have to go out to enjoy the MIT Media Lab and the Boston summer... Since nobody enjoys a technical meeting with too many people, we're going to try to break down into groups of ten or less, and divide up to try to maximize the impact of hacking days for those not currently involved in pressing server infrastructure concerns. * What would you like to get out of Hacking Days? * What cool project ideas do you have? ---- == OpenWetWare (http://openwetware.org/) == OpenWetWare is a MediaWiki-based effort to promote the sharing of information, know-how, and wisdom among researchers and groups who are working in biology and biological engineering. OpenWetWare started in an MIT Biology lab one year ago and has grown to include 60 academic labs from 24 institutions around the world. OpenWetWare has provided a forum for publishing the day-to-day research information that is unavailable in traditional, peer-reviewed journals and has become an essential tool for many of the participating labs. We are extending the MediaWiki software, and have developed a number of new tools specifically for scientific collaboration. (from [[User:Ilya|Ilya]]) == MediaWiki Extensions for Education == At the Electronic Learning Communities lab at Georgia Tech, we've been working on MediaWiki extensions to support classroom use. Often, even teachers who have used wikis for years find it difficult to keep classes organized and assess student work on a wiki. We've added a basic set of teacher tools to help. We have also added basic support for citing, storing, sharing, and evaluating information resources, which is important for academic writers. The younger the writers, the more support they need in negotiating the wiki interface, so there are some interface changes we've made in response to early user testing. The software goes into high schools this fall. I'd like to find out how the features we've been developing could be of more use to the broader mediawiki developer community and how we can improve the code as we prepare to release it. If there are others who are interested in extensions for academic contexts, maybe we could have a discussion at some point. --[[User:Andicat|Andicat]] : You folks at Georgia may be interested in the the ideas in [http://cs.marlboro.edu/wikiacademia Wikiacademia], a wiki I put together for my academic courses which has a user interface very similar to MediaWiki's, though many of the underlying assumptions are quite different. I'm presenting a poster on it this weekend. I'd be interested in seeing your work - is the code available? -- [[User:Jim Mahoney|Jim Mahoney]] , Marlboro College :: Hey Jim, looks like an interesting site. One of the things we are trying to do is keep it so that the focus of the wiki is on students producing content, and keep the "school-i-ness" of it in the background. So the goal for me is to make the site mostly like a regular wiki, unless you happen to be taking a class that's contributing to it. There has actually been a form of wiki in use at Tech since 1998 for class management and whatnot, but it's pretty basic (Coweb). Hopefully I'll find you soon... :-) I can show you what we've got. The code is kind of a mess and I'm quickly realizing I need to prioritize a public release. --[[User:Andicat|Andicat]] == What I'd like to get out of Hacking Days == I am pretty disappointed that the "non-committers" are going to be segregated from the "main track" of the conference, especially if simulcast arrangments cannot be set up. I would be surprised that the MIT Media Lab could not accomodate this. That said, while I am most likely not a "committer" by the core Wikimedia community's standards, I do maintain a corporate Mediawiki instance and work on extending Mediawiki on a daily basis. Here is an list of some of the things I hoped to have covered: *MediaWiki database structure - Improving efficiency, thinking for the future *MediaWiki API - a discussion of the API entry points and feature dependencies would be helpful, although the Zend Developer Studio's eclipse-like autocompletion provides a nicer way of learning the API than sifting through the documentation... *Custom namespaces in mediawiki - I've developed a hackish extension for managing namespaces, converting 'pseudonamespaces', etc. along the lines of [[m:Help:Namespace_manager]], but also included access restriction to the namespaces built into the UI. I was hoping to get insight on why the namespace implementation is structured as is, to discuss alternate implementations of the extension, and see what the core developers have in store regarding this. *Document Management through Mediawiki - What would it take for a more user-friendly, stable content management system to be built into Mediawiki? *Discussion extensions people are working on, suggest/undertake new ones *Views of the development team on other wiki competitors (twiki, etc) and mediawiki ports (dekiwiki, etc) *more notes to come.. I can only attend the Wednesday/Thursday sessions. Look forward to meeting you all there! -''[[User:Jtravaglini|Jtravaglini]] 17:09, 31 July 2006 (UTC)'' * Something that would be really useful for me is a WikiMedia common authentication API. Someone authenticates themselves on wikimedia, and this allows for my wiki to use that authentication. What would make this especially useful is a block list so that someone blocked on wikimedia would also be blocked on other wikis that use WikiMedia authentication. [[User:Roadrunner|Roadrunner]] 03:36, 2 August 2006 (UTC) ===Mediawiki in Enterprise, Private namespaces etc. === There are two sessions you might want to attend at the main conference: * http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proceedings:RL1 * http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proceedings:KL1 Please keep in mind that Wikimedia Foundation is a not-for-profit focused on Free Knowledge. The mediawiki technology can be used for "content management" but it ''is'' appropriate that this be secondary to the ''free knowledge'' focus. Does this seem reasonable? Our site http://freelogy.org uses private name spaces for academic work in progress prior to publication and release under GFDL. I'm very interested in talking with you about your efforts with private namespaces. Please contact me if you'd like to talk about this in the overflow rooms at the medialab. I'm sure we won't be as isolated as you think. --[[User:AlexanderWait|AlexanderWait]] 07:48, 1 August 2006 (UTC) 3069 6937 2006-07-31T01:53:47Z Zvi 566 <style type="text/css"> table img { display: none; } table img { display: none; } table table table { display: none; } table.wikitable * { font-size: 6pt; } table.wikitable td { display: none; } table.wikitable td[colspan] { display: block; width: 100px; } </style> 3071 6950 2006-07-31T02:27:00Z AlexanderWait 567 still need Bio {{ presenter | name = Karim Lakhani | affiliation = Harvard Business School | website = http://pine.hbs.edu/external/facPersonalShow.do?pid=240491 | abstract = Organizational Uses of Wiki Technology | code = KL1 }} 3072 6952 2006-07-31T02:30:52Z AlexanderWait 567 Complete {{ presenter | name = Ned Gulley | affiliation = Mathworks | website = http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/ | abstract = Organizational Uses of Wiki Technology | code = KL1 }} 3073 6955 2006-07-31T02:39:21Z AlexanderWait 567 need bio {{ presenter | name = Josh Bancroft | affiliation = Intel | website = http://www.tinyscreenfuls.com/ | abstract = Organizational Uses of Wiki Technology | code = KL1 }} 3074 6956 2006-07-31T02:45:40Z AlexanderWait 567 need bio {{ presenter | name = Andrew McAfee | affiliation = Harvard Business School | website = http://pine.hbs.edu/external/facPersonalShow.do?pid=6506 | abstract = Organizational Uses of Wiki Technology | code = KL1 }} 3075 6959 2006-07-31T02:50:03Z AlexanderWait 567 need bio {{ presenter | name = Michael Idinopulos | affiliation = McKinsey & Company | website = http://www.mckinsey.com | abstract = Organizational Uses of Wiki Technology | code = KL1 }} 3076 6960 2006-07-31T02:52:56Z AlexanderWait 567 need bio {{ presenter | name = Matthew Mahoney | affiliation = Social Text | website = http://node.typepad.com/about.html | abstract = Organizational Uses of Wiki Technology | code = KL1 }} 3081 7000 2006-07-31T04:45:31Z Jmerkey 552 3083 10364 2006-08-31T12:38:52Z Ngb 33 Editing {{ proceedings header | type = presentation | title = Does Liability Enhance Credibility?: A Wiki Role for Section 230 | author = Olivera Medenica & Kaiser Wahab | code = OM1 }} In 1990, the Internet as we see it today and the broadband lifestyles we lead were merely dreams of a fantastic sci-fi future. However, ten years after Congress passed the Communications Decency Act of 1996 ('CDA') to promote Internet growth, no one can deny the Internet is part of the very bedrock of society.<ref>Telecommunications Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-104, 110 Stat. 56 (codified in scattered sections of 42 U.S.C.).</ref> Although section 230 of the CDA was passed based on a sound policy of protecting this infant technology, the Internet’s development has shattered all expectations and it must be treated as a mature medium. Merely repeating the statistically obvious - that Internet usage has surpassed our wildest dreams - does not speak to the nature of global society's transformation. In America alone, as of 2006, 84 million people have broadband Internet access in their homes, and it is estimated that the percentage of the American population using the Internet has reached 68% in 2005, an increase of 106% since 2000. While these numbers are compelling in their own right, the real transformation lies not in the number of broadband connections but in the perception and consumption of information. Rising from digital distraction to peer-to-peer gospel, net culture journalism has supplanted traditional print media. Net sources are increasingly becoming the definitive statement on world affairs. When a blog, a MySpace profile, or Wikipedia says it is so then so it must be. The breadth of available online resources has liberated our information driven society from traditional media industry costs or notions of profit. As a result, there is an ocean of possible "reputable" sources speaking to issues relevant to our personal and professional interests. Everything from presidential elections to the local school bully receives Internet coverage. Indeed, 35% of all American Internet users have posted content to the Internet in some fashion and about 31 million people have posted content to the Internet. Yet despite the astonishing rapidity and global reach of net publishing, section 230 of the CDA provides Internet Service Providers a near absolute defense against all forms of tort liability for defamatory speech. This is so even in instances where such service providers actually choose, publish, or refuse to remove third party defamatory statements that are known to be false. It is at once contradictory and alarming that defamation tort law continues to hold conventional and print media liable for the publication or distribution of defamatory material, but does not do so for the Internet. And in the case of Wikipedia, its terrific and meteoric rise to become the world’s encyclopedia is actually jeopardized by this contradiction. Indeed, when it is publicly touted as more accurate that the Encyclopedia Britannica<ref>FoxNews: Encyclopedia Britannica: Wikipedia Comparison Just Wrong; http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,189064,00.html</ref> and cited in the past year and half by traditional news outlets more than 100 times (for everything ranging from simple definitions to complete personal biographies)<ref>Wikipedia:Wikipedia as a press source 2005 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_as_a_press_source_2005; Wikipedia:Wikipedia as a press source 2006 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_as_a_press_source</ref> its standing as a definitive source of information is critical. The question remains whether institutions such as Wikipedia can maintain long term credibility in the face of a virtual legal shield against defamation liability. The CDA was brought about as a legislation addressing the tremendous scope of liability that an interactive service provider is exposed to under traditional jurisprudence. Where technology opened new avenues for imposing secondary liability principles, the CDA sought to close the gap and protect an emergent industry. Section 230 of the Act provides that '[n]o provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another content provider.'<ref>Id. at §230.</ref> Under the Act, an interactive computer service ('ICS') is broadly defined as including essentially any online service that allows others to post materials – this could be a website or an ISP such as Compuserve or America Online.<ref>47 U.S.C. § 230(c) (granting immunity to "a provider or user of an interactive computer service").</ref> In other words, if you fall under the broad definition of 'interactive computer service' you will not be liable for the materials posted on your service by someone else. This language certainly had a tremendous impact on the Internet, as ICSs could no longer be considered 'publishers' for purposes of defamation. The tort of defamation is a tort that has a convoluted history in our jurisprudence. For the most part, defamation law varies from state to state, but its basic elements remain the same.<ref>See 50 Am. Jur. 2d Liabel and Slander 6.</ref> It is not only the author of the allegedly defamatory material that can be held liable, defamation liability can also apply to its publisher and distributor.<ref>Liability of internet service provider for internet or email defamation, 84 A.L.R.5th 169, 2a; Jae Hong Lee, Note, Batzel v. Smith & Barrett v. Rosenthal: Defamation Liability for Third Party Content on the Internet, 19 Berkeley Tech. L.J. 469, 471 (2004).</ref> A distributor, such as a library and bookstore, can be held liable only upon a strong showing by Plaintiff that the distributor knew or should have known that it was distributing defamatory materials.<ref>Id.</ref> As a publisher, a defendant retains control over the information disseminated, and therefore can be held liable only upon a showing that it was not careful in checking whether the material was defamatory.<ref>Id.</ref> In order to prevail on a defamation claim against a publisher, a plaintiff must demonstrate: #that the statement was false and it hurt plaintiff; #that the communication of this statement was not private, it was communicated to somebody other than the plaintiff; #that the publisher was 'negligent' (i.e. not careful); and #that the statement is sufficiently harmful to bring about a lawsuit.<ref>Restatement (Second) of Torts 558 (1977).</ref> Defamation is not, as some would believe, a product of a litigious society bent on making quick money. It is an outgrowth of a well established and internationally recognized notion that free and democratic societies must recognize fundamental human rights to dignity, privacy, and the sanctity of reputation. Various international treaties and conventions enshrine the protection of reputation and privacy as a fundamental human right. For example, Article 12 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states: 'No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.' Defamation law is also not a recent fabrication that exists as a grudgingly tolerated limitation on free speech. Rather, for any democratic society, free speech never exists in a vacuum, it exists only to the extent that it does not subsume the equally noble right to protect one’s reputation and privacy. As a result, modern defamation jurisprudence has focused on balancing the free speech interests of society with the reputation and privacy interests of the individual. In a defamation action, the plaintiff is merely asking the court to intervene where statements have been made that are injurious to the plaintiff’s reputation. Such intervention is the cornerstone principle that serves to deter malicious, negligent, and inaccurate journalism aimed at everyday people, such as your friends, your family, and maybe you. And in a world wide web of blogs and wikis, where everyone is a writer and written about, this principle is absolutely vital. What section 230 signifies for ICSs is simply that they are not liable for the defamatory statements of their clients or users. So you could have an interactive website, with users that pay you a fee for posting materials online, these users could post clearly false statements about someone else (e.g., someone’s mother, using her real name and address), and you would not be liable for it. The strength of this safe harbor provision was tested on numerous occasions, and the ICSs almost always walks away unscathed. For example, in Zeran v. AOL, a court held that AOL was not liable for defamation where one of its users had posted a prank on AOL essentially accusing Plaintiff Zeran of condoning the Oklahoma City bombing.<ref>Zeran v. AOL, Inc., 129 F.3d 327, 332 (4th Cir. 1997).</ref> An anonymous user had posted on a bulletin board information regarding the sale of T-shirts featuring unsavory slogans regarding the bombings. The poster also provided the home number of Plaintiff Zeran and the plaintiff was soon inundated with irate phone calls regarding the posting. Plaintiff sued for defamation. The court held that AOL was protected by section 230. Zeran continues to be widely followed by the courts, and some holdings have even specifically stated that there is no difference between distributors and publishers for purposes of section 230. In other words, an ICS cannot be liable for defamation under section 230 either as a publisher or as a distributor. Section 230 provides a full blown cover for plaintiffs injured by defamatory statements. The question remains whether this is a fair representation of the interests at issue. Should we as a society favor the advancement of the Internet to the detriment of our individual rights? If our First Amendment right of free speech is one of our fundamental rights, shouldn’t we also recognize our right to honor and privacy as an equally fundamental right? All of our jurisprudence is based on a balancing of interest, we cannot steal something because it would infringe on someone’s property rights and we cannot enter into a valid contract if we don’t give up something for the benefit of gaining something of value. Why does this principle fall short in the context of defamation and the Internet? This is due to the fact that, in 1996, the Internet was new and partly uncharted territory. Section 230 was a legislation enacted to protect a technology that promised to deliver tremendousopportunity and commercial growth. Ten years later, this legislative purpose has become stale and obsolete. The Internet has certainly kept its promise of opening up new worlds, but an artificial safe harbor has prevented injured plaintiffs from fully seeking redress. If we are to retain the spirit of the CDA, while allowing for the protection of our fundamental rights to honor, reputation and privacy, we can move towards a more balanced approach. Accordingly, Section 230 should be amended to reflect this balancing of interests. Perhaps one way of approaching this amendment would be to draw from our experiences with the Digital Millenium Copyright Act ('DMCA').<ref>17 U.S.C. 512 (1998).</ref> The DMCA is a legislation that was drafted to bring the United States in compliance with international treaty obligations. One of the DMCA’s most often cited provisions is section 512, or the Online Infringement Liability Limitation Act ('OCILLA').<ref>Id.</ref> OCILLA addresses issues in digital piracy by providing a safe harbor provision to Internet Service Providers ('ISPs') for copyright infringement liability if they comply with certain enumerated steps. Under the DMCA, the definition of an ISP is broad and can include any function from hosting a website to providing high speed internet access such as broadband, DSL and dial-up. Once such an ISP receives a notice of copyright infringement, it must immediately take the material down and send a counter-notice to the alleged infringer (a client or user of the ISP) that the material was taken down. The alleged infringer then has a period of about 10-14 days to file a lawsuit; if no lawsuit is filed the ISP can place the material back online.<ref>Id.</ref> These provisions have certainly come under fire by First Amendment advocates, and there is no doubt that the notice-and-take-down provisions ('NTD') are vulnerable to abusive practices. Nevertheless, the NTD is a compromise between two interests at issue that are not dissimilar to defamation and section 230. OCILLA balances the interests of copyright holders against First Amendment principles, all within a window of approximately 14 days. A similar approach to section 230 may be called the Online Defamation Limited Liability Act ('ODEFLLA'). ODEFLLA would bridge the gap between the need to promote the advancement of technologies such as the Internet and our need to preserve basic human rights to privacy and dignity. It should not be permissible for an ICS to refuse taking down materials that severely damage and impact our lives. If someone posts materials online about us that are clearly defamatory, and such materials put our lives and the lives our families at risk, should an ICS with the power to remove such materials be able to refuse to do so simply because we have no legal leverage? This scenario is not so far-fetched, and yet there is no mechanism to change legislation out of touch with reality.<ref>See Carafano v. Metrosplash, 339 F.3d 1119 (9th Cir. 2003) (Defendant online dating service was not liable under section 230 for having a profile posted featuring Plaintiff’s real name and address even though this resulted in Plaintiff being harassed by callers and forced Plaintiff to abandon her home with her son for several months).</ref> In addressing these issues, ODEFLLA could include the following: #a safe harbor provision similar to DMCA’s OCILLA provisions, including a notice and take-down provision for allegedly infringing or defamatory material; #limited liability for internet intermediaries by providing a statutory cap on damages; and #a public internet intermediary defense fund as insurance against unwarranted liability. Drawing from the DMCA’s OCILLA provision, ODEFLLA would impose liability upon ICSs only upon a failure to respond to an actual written notice of defamatory materials. In other words, once an ICS receives a notice of allegedly defamatory materials, it would take it down and send a notice to its client or user that the material was taken down. The plaintiff would then have approximately 10-14 days to file a lawsuit, or face having the materials placed back online. Unlike the DMCA, however, the ICS would have no separate duty to police its site for alleged infringers and the ICS would not be deemed notified through constructive knowledge of the allegedly infringing materials. Furthermore, ODEFLLA would impose the requirement upon ISPs to inform its clients/users of the legislation’s obligation. For example, a dedicated portion of the ICS’ website could provide: #a sample notice letter; #a sample counter-notice letter; #up to date contact information for a designated agent; #the entire text of ODEFLLA; (5) a question and answer portion explaining the provisions of ODEFLLA in plain term; and (6) a portion explaining defamation and the potential liability attached to posting defamatory statements. In many ways, such information would be similar to Privacy and Terms of Use agreements that are featured on most websites and form a valid contract with the users of the website. Another issue that could be addressed by ODEFLLA is a statutory cap on monetary and punitive damages in a defamation lawsuit. In other words, ODEFLLA could provide a statutory penalty of $15,000 per infringement, so as to prevent extensive and protracted litigation on the dollar value of the actual and punitive damages suffered by plaintiffs. Moreover, it could prevent headline grabbing jury verdicts that could encourage further litigious behavior by allegedly defamed individuals. Finally, ODEFLLA could provide an opt-in defense fund to address defamation litigation for online materials. The fund would act as a limited insurance carrier for successful defamation awards against qualified participating ICSs. Although the fund may not be able to cover the entire award of an ICS, it may certainly cover a certain percentage of its defense. Participation in this fund would also signal ICS’ collective acknowledgment of the legitimacy of reputation and privacy rights. The concept of a fund is not new and has been used in a variety of industries and public necessities. For example, states such as Connecticut, Nevada, California, Oregon and South Dakota have Client Security Funds that require practicing attorneys to make yearly payments as a condition to maintaining their license. The funds disburse payments to qualifying clients aggrieved by the 'dishonest conduct'. In the case of ODEFLLA, qualifying participants could place a statutory premium of $10.00 per year, for example, towards the fund and the fund may issue a limited payout towards satisfying a damages award. The fund could be overseen by an agency such as the Federal Communications Commission which could administer the payouts. Amending Section 230 to include the interests of injured plaintiffs requires a different approach and new policy interests to be infused into the legislation. But if we begin to examine the tort of defamation not as a monetary incentive for injured plaintiffs, but rather the gatekeeper to the protection of a fundamental human right, we can perhaps understand the importance of the interests at issue.

'''what is the wiki-net / what is our wiki-net?''' See the draft on [http://www.communitywiki.org/odd/WikiNet/HomePage wiki-net]. ===== "physically" ===== The wiki-net consists of several pages on every wiki automatically gathering contents from other wikis which help you to find communities of interest for a given topic. ===== "philosophically" ===== The wiki-net is also an offer to wiki-communities to create stronger relations to each other in order to use synergic effects by integrating certain rss-driven node-pages into their wikis to stimulate interaction. ===== wiki-neighborhood ===== It is based the assumption that wiki-communities are able to develop an idea about a "neighborhood" of wikis - topically, technically or structurally related wikis that an interaction with is more likely than with other wikis. These get collected on the [[WikiNode|wiki-node]]. ===== decentrality ===== The wiki-net is a cross-engine idea and entirely decentral. Every wiki-community is responsible for its part of the wiki-net called ''our wiki-net'', all these together shape ''the'' wiki net. ===== dynamic selection ===== Communities make dynamic selections of the neighbors listed on their wiki-nodes. This selection is called ''our wiki-net'' and it triggers three rss-driven internal wiki-pages that are nodes to the "outer wikiworld". ===== 1.) wiki-net changes ===== The first is ''wiki-net changes''. It shows the ''recent changes'' of the (selected) wiki-neighborhood and the recent changes of the wiki itself merged. You see a recent changes page for several wikis. It's like zooming out in a picture, the view is more wide-angle. ''Recent near changes'' was the old name for this page. The contents of this page tends to be confusing - as recent changes itself tend to be confusing. ===== 2.) wiki-net blogs ===== The second is ''wiki-net blogs''. It assumes that wiki-communities are able to write a common blog - a blog integrated in the wiki itself and automatically attached to the end of its home-page. On their blogs communities summarize what goes on on their wikis. The common blog is like a face to the outside. A new reader reads the last blog entries and knows about the wiki without having to dive into its recent changes. The blog is an act of politenes to the public, a help for the communities themselves to get aware of their own activities and it keeps the members of a community together. To put it simple: "A wiki-community without blog is like a band without gigs." <br> Similar to ''wiki-net changes'' the page ''wiki-net blogs'' merges the blogs of the (selected) neighbors and the blog of the wiki itself. ===== 3.) hints ===== The third is ''wiki-net hints''. Assuming the selections for the first two interaction-nodes on a wiki are pretty stable (though still dynamic, like good friends, some are friends for life-time, some change) the hint part of the wiki-net offers a possibility to give a wiki-community a hint to an interesting wiki. It is more about the short term attention of a wiki-community. Likely the selections for the first two wiki-net pages will be taken within a wiki-community, outsiders shouldn't edit the selection or will be reverted. The hint section of the wiki-net gives outsiders (just as wiki-community members) the possibility to point the wiki-community to another wiki. Unlike the other two wiki-net pages the hints are limited by number and added/removed by date. Getting a new hint the oldest wiki in the selection is removed, thus hints wont't stay in a wiki's attention for very long. On ''hints changes'' the recent changes of the wikis given a hint to get merged. ===== syndication ===== There is an own rss-feed for all these three wiki-net pages + there is an rss-feed for a wiki's selection of neighbors (its wiki-net) called wiki-net feed. ===== wiki-net server ===== The wiki-net feed is machine readable (machine code block). Using a cron-job wikis connect to a (contemporarily only imagined) wiki-net server like once a day. The wiki delivers the information about its current selection of neighbor to it and receives information about what ofther wikis currently have it - the wiki - in in their selection. That makes it possible to show on a page "who is watching us?" which other wikis currently have the "watched" wiki in their focus (that is on their wiki-net). "Feeling somebody's gaze on your skin". Showing who watches you creates a further interactive node, people will take a look at the watching wiki, interaction gets more likely. __NOTOC__ 3117 8593 2006-08-05T16:57:55Z 71.192.79.133 [http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org/wiki/Citizen_Journalism Citizen Journalism unconference Main Page] '''Steve Garfield''' A conversation of how to use multimedia in creating better citizen journalism. 1.

Instead of just doubling your work on a story by reading a written report into a microphone? What additional value can audio and video add to a report? Reports are not static written in stone objects anymore. They are now living and breathing things. 5. How to use multimedia in creating better citizen journalism? BEFORE, DURING and AFTER COLLABORATION How can citizen journalists take advantage of 'Networked Journalism' to tell stories? FEEDBACK, UPDATES and ANALYSIS How can we take advantage of audio and video to engage consumers of media, and encourage them to become participants.

General outline: #Slow things get killed #Other choice: Split it :*Split #1: slavery :*Split #2: Babel :*Split #3: guilds :*Split #4: delay ::Q: what kinds of things end up in job queues? ::A: *couldn't keep up* #LoadBalancer.php :has multiple setups, can organize by language, can weight per database #Backups :Q: we don't expose this to users, right? :A: we'd have to explore some way of screening, "expose this bit, don't : expose this bit," *couldn't keep up* #Object cache #Compression #latest problems :*App servers lock up :*hardware issues More problems: :No data on site usage. :Would be nice if we could use such data to provide information to developers :and engineers with information about how to design solutions to problems of :community, how to organize community to design solutions to engineering problems. Profiling system: ::Problem, profiling produces lots of data, which is hard to analyze. ::Analyzing profiling output can take a longgg time. (~5 hrs) :Solutions: ::Profiling is done for short periods, as apache can produce tremendous amounts ::of data (gigabytes) per minute of traces. :(Ivan:) you profile just one (or a handful) of testbed machines in the cluster. ::this can be used to keep good, up-to-date profiling of system performance ::Also, this solves the problem of enabling profiling on many machines, then disabl ing it. :Question: The check user, the user name lookup is seriously slow, I think it actually has to iterate between IP... :Answer: To make this faster we can tell mysql to generate an index on user ips, so that search is way faster. :Q: Can I expect this to happen in the near future? :A: Yes, especially if you email us about it :Q:My main question is regarding resilliancy- if I were to say, restart database 4, would it automatically be detected, or ? When it comes back up, it still requires manual replication. What can we do... :A:We allow quite a lot of error to happen just to make the site work. Whatever. :Q: is there anything we can add to make it more resilliant? :A: :Q: It takes manual intervention to set up a replication server. Does it take :manual intervention to make sure that all servers aren't trying to reach a :database server which goes down? :A: Not a big deal, the load balancer notices when a server goes down and :doesn't push requests to it. :Q: en wiki is running separately from other wikis, its storage is external? :A: Yes. :Q: Is? :A: Yes. :Q: I was curious about the toolserver- you say it takes hours to replicate over the internet? :A: it lags because it's loaded, because people write stupid queries. :Q: What bandwidth does it take to replicate? :A: less than a megabit. :Q: would it benefit to have a toolserver on this side of the pond? :A: I'm not sure it benefits to have a toolserver. :A: I'm not sure it matters where it's physically located. :Q: what is the relative load of search compared to everything else? :A: we get an order of magnitude (or a couple) less than page views.

Great. But will anyone listen? With more than 30 million bloggers contributing to the global conversation - and more coming every day - how can those of us excited about the potential of this medium ensure that important, interesting voices get heard? Is the solution to use the mainstream media to amplify voices? Or to build our own tools to aggregate and amplify voices? What's working, what's not, and what have we learned so far in trying to share news and views with a wide audience? You're invited to join in an open brainstorm in the hopes that we'll get the chance to refine and sharpen our thinking about the challenges of getting voices heard - our own, and those of citizen authors we think deserve a wider audience.

The OLPC offices that hosted the day were rather busy until 12:30 the next morning, when the last hardy souls left to catch the ultimate subway home. Kat took many many photos after hours, which will be uploaded Real Soon Now. 3138 7534 2006-08-02T12:35:27Z Zuirdj 161 3139 9534 2006-08-07T08:48:54Z 129.69.215.220 {{ presenter | name = Mark Giereth | affiliation = Visualization and Interactive Systems Institute, Universität Stuttgart | website = http://www.vis.uni-stuttgart.de/~giereth | onwiki = de | abstract = Integration of Wikipedia Previews into Web Pages | code = MR1 }} 3140 7543 2006-08-02T13:41:38Z Notafish 4 copyright Sunlight Foundation copyright Sunlight Foundation 3141 7548 2006-08-02T14:04:37Z Zuirdj 161 #REDIRECT [[Main Page/es]] #REDIRECT [[Main Page/es]] 3142 7645 2006-08-02T18:55:45Z Jdforrester 11 Move image here. === Dror Kamir, embedded reporter === [[Image:Andrew Lih - Wikimania 2006 - Hacking Day 2 at OLPC.jpg|right|200px]] While my first day at the Wikimania venue was dedicated to recovering from a serious jet-lag and unexpected hot weather (it is hotter and more humid here than in Tel Aviv!), the second day started much more energetically with an improtant mission - finding a Hebrew enabled computer in Harvard Law School. While people here speak Hebrew more than I expected, the computers here are linguistic puritants, and insist on communicating in the local language. Maybe I'll try to trick them a bit, and write Hebrew in a Latin transcription, but first some words in English, to the benefit of the non-Israeli Wikipedians who read this post. Asians were the first to come to the Wikimania venue at the Harvard Law School, due to the long flight, and Israel, though playing soccer in Europe and sending entries to the Eurovision, is still geographically an Asian country. I was therefore the second to settle down in the Harvard Law School dorms, just next to a talented Wikipedian from Mumbai, India. Nonetheless, it wasn't too long before the dorms' corridors were crowded with people from Japan, the US, Europe and other places. Most of the participants so far are computer enthusiasts who came to discuss the inner structure of Wikimedia's projects during the "Hacking Days". For me it is somewhat like an anatomists' consultation, i.e. something to let the experts do while you are in a deep sleep. There is a saying that people who like sausages and respect the law should not watch either of them being made. Judging from my conversations with the participants, this saying does not apply to the Hacking Days, and yet I chose to spend the day walking along the Massachusets Avenue, and enjoying the parks along the way. Cambridge is a beautiful city with calm people who drive carefully and begin their day with a decent cup of coffee and a quite reading of the New York Times or the Boston Globe. An unexpected setback was a heat wave that drove me indoors to find air-conditioned activities. Despite the common myth, being an Asian does not mean being immuned against the heat. These weather conditions are taken here with a stoic acceptance. No one stops his course of life crying "I can't take it anymore, turn off the sun", as you might hear occasionally in Tel Aviv. The preparations to the big all-Wikipedian gathering are at full speed, with the organizers stop every now and then to catch a deep breath, but only when they think no one sees them. So far, the "back-stage" conversations with other participants and with the organizers were very interesting, with a lot of culture exchange. So far I have met participants who write in the English Wikipedia. They come from all over the world, which explains the extent of the English Wikipedia in comparison to other languages. I am being urged to come to another tour of the city, so I am going to leave you here, but I'll be back soon enough to share some more impressions with you. Next time I'll even try to write something in Hebrew. 3143 10069 2006-08-15T11:44:47Z 88.64.181.100 /* Memorable quotes from Hacking Day #2 */ typo === Memorable quotes from Hacking Day #2 === Greg Maxwell: "The problem with that [conducting a formal study of what types of vandalism wikipedia receives] is that it's not easily machine detectable, because if it were easily machine detectable, we'd have machines detecting it" Brion Vibber: "It's not a good solution, but it's the only one that's not actively evil" (on changing how the Mediawiki parser works and in the process possibly making older pages display incorrectly) Ivan Krstic: (Replying to a complaint about his non-standard keyboard layout) "It's a normal english keyboard - don't look at it." 3145 7569 2006-08-02T14:41:09Z Sj 2 === Memorable quotes from Hacking Day #1 === * Ward Cunningham: "The Wiki[pedia] community has grown Wiki[pedia] and has done everything almost perfectly" * Ivan Krstic: "I want a Brion Vibber action figure - when you squeeze it, it says 'it's totally broken'" * Brion Vibber: (Extolling the virtues of downtime) "If you are up all the time, then you forget simple things like how to reboot the servers" * Brion Vibber: "And we have a lot of testers on Wikipedia, so [Mediawiki] bugs get identified pretty quick" 3147 10340 2006-08-30T21:08:30Z Ngb 33 +{{attention}} {{attention}} <small>&lt;[[Proceedings:RL1]] This is a rough outline for the conversation to follow: {{Slidetitle|text=Authentication plugins}} * AuthPlugin interface * Ryan Lane's LDAP plugin * OpenID, etc. * Other work? {{Slidetitle|text=Granular access control in general}} * Quoting [http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.mediawiki/8610 Brion's email from November, 2005]: *: ''The main thing is that we (at least I ;) don't want to have to maintain code that's totally useless to us, and a security layer adds maintenance obligations to that useless-to-us code (if there's a hole, we have to patch it and issue new releases, and if it exists people are more likely to want to rely on it, increasing the weight of the obligation).

Wikipedia shows that is possible to have a group of people working together on the creation of an extremely advanced source of knowledge. It might just be that the same can be applied to politics. But there's only one way to know. So let’s start a political party, based on two principles: # The whole party is based on the Wiki principle: ''anyone can edit almost anything'' # No politicians are paid I’m not saying “start it today”. It’s an hilarious idea. But so is the Swedish initiative, [http://www2.piratpartiet.se/international/english Piratpartiet], a three-issue party, pro-privacy, anti-patent and anti-crazy-copyright-laws. Nothing else. I’m saying, let’s gather a whole lot of people first. Let them write the issues. And don’t stop. Never. ==Wiki in politics== The [http://campaigns.wikia.com Campaigns Wikia] was founded by Jimmy Wales and "has the goal of bringing together people from diverse political perspectives who may not share much else, but who share the idea that they would rather see democratic politics be about engaging with the serious ideas of intelligent opponents, about activating and motivating ordinary people to get involved and really care about politics beyond the television soundbites." [http://campaigns.wikia.com/wiki/Mission_Statement] Dan Gillmor's [http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/wemedia/book/index.csp We the Media] is about how the blogosphere and websites such as [http://english.ohmynews.com/ OhmyNews] are having real influence on the political landscape. The idea is crazy. But that’s why it mights just work. Set up a wiki, let people start writing on a party program. Anyone. Of course. You can become member. But I say, you don’t have to be a member to participate. But, to make it a bit crazier. There is need to participate in elections. And if by some miracle (and I believe in miracles) someone gets elected, this person doesn’t have any personal say. Or he will be kicked out of the party. The person should, in my opinion, try to avoid as much to actually go to the town hall, parliament. Just the bare necessity. He should just reflect the people’s wishes as visible on the party’s wiki. ==Money== Principle #2 implies that no politican (voted or not) actually gets paid. The poor folks that are elected will have to give their money to the party (as for instance happens in the Dutch [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Party_%28Netherlands%29 Socialistische Partij]), then they will get their expenses covered, and that’s it. We don’t want any professional politicians. After the basic costs of servers and paperwork there will be quite some money to waste. This can be done in different ways. ===Money for members=== Instead, as a member, you will get money. If that’s legal in the respective country. If it’s not, other ways can be found. Well, and anyway, members should be incited to give their money to a cause of their choice. But not be forced to. The party needs members. The more members, in many countries, the more money the party gets from the state. The easier it will be to cover the basic costs, to do some very basic, cheap publicity. ==Global== Of course, the idea is to have parties all over the world. But it’ll probably be easier to realize in countries with many a high rate of connected households. With a high rate of literacy and higher education. But I guess getting a high rate of literacy and higher education all over the world will be one of the party’s goals. =="Could it work?"== The question is rather: why not try? I might start the party myself, some time. Though the goal of this presentation is to put this idea in the noosphere. }} 3152 8011 2006-08-03T22:30:43Z Guaka 311 {{ abstract | type = presentation | author = Kasper Souren | title = Wikipedia on the Nokia 770: wik2dict and MaemoDict | track = ti | time=Session .: Sunday, 10:30am (approx) | abstract = I wrote some software that can be used to access information from Wikipedia on the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet, while actually not being connected to the internet. ==DICT== [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DICT DICT] is a dictionary network protocol created by the DICT Development Group.

There are people frolicking about in the field adjacent to Dane, screaming like they’re jumping off the Grand Canyon… so I write to pass the time, in hopes of staying sane—that through writing I might somehow replenish the precious REM sleep that I’ve lost. Again and again. After about three hours of discontinuous sleep, I forced myself to wake up at 9 AM. Although I’d been totally exhausted from forcing myself to stay awake most of the day to adjust to the schedule here, I didn’t really get to fall asleep until much later. The living conditions at Dane Hall are… ghetto, in the purest of sense. It’s dorm life, but then again, it’s 0.25-star-rated dorm life. Once upon a time, I believed my term in a dumpy dorm with a splintered-broken table and a perpetually leaking roof was bad, but... Living in a monk cell that’s perpetually above 100 degrees Fahrenheit with only an open window and an old dusty fan to battle the impending heatstroke is definitely worse. The package of “Bad,” however, is not yet complete. There’s also the fact that the springs of the stained mattress I’m typing this entry on are probably as old as the building itself—such that every time you have you back on it for more than twenty minutes, you’re sure to get up feeling like your spine’s about to break up or your neck’s about to decapitate. It’s never quiet for more than about twenty minutes—twenty, if you’re lucky—since by day, there’s ubiquitous drilling from construction, and by night, there are these aforementioned screaming idiots convulsing outside. The 0.25 star’s really more like a quarter of a pity-star; I’m sorry to say that the place just doesn’t honestly earn it. Ah, complaints. How great it is to simmer down my fury through passive writing in the quasi-permanent medium of blog instead of furiously typing out ephemeral words to be lost on IRC. But, given the longevity of my words, I might as well attempt to be useful, now, and document something more objective. Here goes what I can remember: I attempted to find the OLPC room in Wiesner at MIT, but apparently they’d long ago ditched the place. I met some tall hitchhiker guy who can speak Afrikanese, whose name I can’t remember, who provided me with the useful information that OLPC ran off campus to some business building labeled 1 Cambridge on the MIT map. After a bit more of getting lost, unable to find the exact location of OLPC in 1 Cambridge, the hitchhiker guy called up someone who informed us that the Days are to be held on the 10th floor. Almost there. But, there’s actually a reception-desk “guard” guarding the entrance to the elevators. The guard in the building had an emailed list of names, and apparently, neither hitchhiker guy nor I am on it. Status now stuck, no longer lost. I decided to haggle the guard, since the list didn’t look that legit, anyway. The guard called up some guy on the 10th floor, who attempted to shoo us away. I guess neither of us looked like techies; I really should have brought more summer clothing, especially my collection of t-shirts with such remarks as “EMACS ARE BIGGER THAN BIG MACS!” So, we were on the verge of getting kicked out. Trekking through the humid summer heat past-dew-point all the way here, then nowhere, then back, really didn’t seem the best itinerary. Moreover, at this point, it would have been back, but with a growing migraine—ah, the pangs of sleep loss. I wanted in, since my migraines tend to disappear under the right kind of technical discussion. We finally figure out to summon S.J., who somewhat inaccurately validated our identity to the guy, but, nevertheless, the end result being the guy letting us in. ===Hacking Days #2:=== So we finally made it in. It was the middle of some guy’s talk on WiktionaryZ/Wikidata. Overall, the guy led a great discussion, but somehow my migraine didn’t go away. He kept on stressing on “defined meaning,” which is actually as self-explanatory as it sounds, but apparently most people in the room thought the term ambiguous. It’s, in a way, like how most people befuddle the difference between the language and the metalanguage, to use terms from the Abstract Logic grad course I took as a psycho freshman. Specifically, a “defined meaning” has to do with the proper defining of the nuances of a particular meaning in a particular language (hence, defined meaning). They do have their own format for data entry, however, but that’s really just trivial referencing up of the format protocol. To my disappointment, they skipped the Entropy flow talk and went on directly to lunch. If whomever was supposed to give that talk started writing up equations of state, and doing proofs and derivations from thermo, my migraine might have lessened. (Thermo was from junior year, and I might have forgotten more than I should have, but then again working recklessly through physics proofs is a great way to stifle any migraine. Multitasking like crazy also works.) Except, however, I’m guessing it has to do with entropy with regards to information, modern stat mech. Still physics, but still, that’s probably not what the talk would have been about—I don’t see a direct relationship between that and WikiMedia. Hmmm… perhaps “Entropy flow” doesn’t have anything to do with entropy, but is really just some misused but somewhat catchy name for some obscure code. Well, whatever the talk might have been about, we shall never know. The pyWikipedia project has to do with python bots written to do automated tasks in Wikipedia, such as spell-checking and link verification. Some of the scripts are rather poorly written, especially one of the earlier spellcheck scripts, and I wonder what sort of havoc they might have caused. The presentation was straight-forward, and there was not much to discuss. Since few people present have contributed to this, this presentation might have spurned further collaboration on the project. I was actually starving by the time lunch started about an hour late. Still, I managed to refrain from piling up on massive amounts of sandwiches and wraps. (This was fortunate, since the wraps were way too oily, a source of a slight bit of indigestion. Then again, what had I expected? This was presumably the usual catered food as done by a large university, often prepared by incumbent students.) With food and water, I went back to my laptop, attempting to do a bit of reading to abate the migraine. I probably should have left and holed out in some study carrel in one of the libraries somewhere to catch a few hours of quiet sleep, but still, I’d rather be here to be, at least, somewhat here. Anyway, it didn’t work. After lunch, the guys at Days got to let out gastronomical gas on a poor girl slated to give a presentation on usability to an audience of coders who probably comment their code only as an afterthought (and with dread, the sense of precious code time being wasted). Fortunately, though, the final version of MediaWiki that’s publicly downloadable is pretty well documented. Anyway, my point is that the guys at Days aren’t really frontend interface designers, but they’re coders, the guys who make the pretty frontend things work—so, the presentation seemed for the wrong audience. Then again, I suppose MW isn’t yet as segregated as to have people who focus only on designing interface. Still, much of what she emphasized on was that manual documentation for features like adding/uploading an image should be made more clear—like said earlier, since most present probably dread commenting their code, writing user-friendly manuals wouldn’t have been fit for them either. The guys heckled her a bit, but again, this might have been avoided if the presentation were given for the Mania part instead of Days. Then again, given the fact that her study only involved ten users, whose background seem poorly described, I don’t believe it’s ready for publishing. (The background ought to have included other information—such as whether the users have prior experience with HTML or another basic ML.) The part I distinctly remember happened in the middle of it all. Just out of the blue she was like, “That’s why people like me exist...” At that point, I realized she reminded me of my high school counselor... I don’t really understand people like her; why do they refer to themselves as such and yet not change it? Next, there were Lightning Talks. As always, the stuff I come for gets truncated or omitted. The BlahTex talk was basically a 30-second blah, mostly inaudible to audiences in the back. I heard something about LaTeX, but I actually didn’t hear the guy utter the abomination, “MathML.” I had to retroactively find out what it BlahTeX is by googling it up; it’s a LaTeX2MathML parser for MW. In sum, I’m not sure how useful it would be, since MathML has usability issues, whereas LaTeX (or the lightweight version of it, MimeTeX) doesn’t—the equations in the latter are rendered into graphic files easily viewable by all browsers. (Also, to those who do not display images, LaTeX2HTML conveniently quotes the tex equation in the alt tag; any other LaTeX to HTML parser can be easily modified to do the same.) Even using Firefox, which is supposedly a MathML-compliant browser, I have to go out of my way to download certain fonts (which actually come with Mathematica, which I don’t have installed on my borrowed laptop) to make it work. And even then, the equations look (almost) Microsoft-Word-equations-editor-ugly. Ew. In the beginning, Knuth made LaTeX, and it was good, now, however… I had to leave to deal with indigestion during the LiquidThreads Talk, so I don’t know the exact details of that. It appears to be your basic thread commenting snipplet applied to the MW Discussions page. Other than a basic move-feature, I don’t see why it’s necessary, since users can already nest with colon-syntax to create threaded-like replies. Since I’m on a roll shooting out complaints, I have to say that the little I’ve seen of it, it doesn’t merit enough to be a SOC project—threaded commenting isn’t that hard to do and doesn’t take that long to implement. Making a multibrowser-compliant AJAX frontend for the commenting options, though, might. MW Video support was interesting. It featured a neat javascript player that embeds (apparently) seamlessly into MW pages; each embedded movie initializes with an automated screenshot of a particular frame of the movie. Someone raised the question on why FlashVideo wasn’t used. This was where it got interesting. Apparently Macradobe now charges a fee for access to the .swf SDK (this is ‘’’what happens’’’ when Adobe buys Macromedia). (Incidentally, if anyone wants to view an old version of the SDK “for educational purposes only,” I can probably dig it up from one of my many dislocated hard drives; will take some time, so only if you’re actually serious.) I immediately cited OpenSWF.org—and then I heard from some guy in the back the situation on Adobe’s destruction of Macromedia’s old Internet2 ideology. Mentally, I was like, “no, no, that caaan’t be the case,” so I attempted to access OpenSWF. I found out they’d died, a long while ago, and then I forced myself to read the updated status on the SDK. Sometimes, it feels like I’m Rumpelstiltskin. Being away from something for six years is really more like a few centuries Internet-time. I am so impossibly old. Finally, there was something on quote-notation for bold and italics. I was on the verge of revealing a very simpleminded way of fixing that. Avoid regex, just use a flag counter and strstr() twice, the flag being used the second time to generate the closing HTML tag, flag unset after the closing tag count. It would have parsed the example the guy gave correctly. (&quot;&#39;hi&quot;hello&quot;&#39;hi&quot;&#39;hello&quot;hi&quot;&#39; as {b}hi{i}hello{b}hi{/b}hello{/i}hi{/b}) There was apparently a point I missed about nesting(?), so I didn’t bother going for clarifications. It didn’t matter; by this time, my migraine had proven that it was here to stay. And, moreover, there was Siggy next! We got the Exhibits Plus pass, which is better than just an Expo pass, but isn’t the full conference. (Then again, all the good lectures have already happened, since we’re coming in on the last day of SIGGRAPH… so w/e) The thing also came with a tour given by names known only to graphics-in-groupers. The tourguides hyped up the event to the innocent hackers (believe it or not, basically no one’s been to S) and implicated the SIGGRAPH conference caste system to be much more than it’s worth. I wandered astray from the flock only to find that basically all the customized-souvenir options (2d/3d printing) from the Guerilla Studio have been signed-up for days before. They did have a pile of clay available, to be used for scanning a clay model into a 3d model. So, I took that home to play with to take back tomorrow. Since we came the hour before they closed, I didn’t get to see much, but I did get to find out in depth about realtime hologram generation using 6 standard web cams and a standard (though high-end) LCD screen with scrim. The only problem was that was that the software was probably written with a rather high-end language, since it took (ahem) 4 or was it 6 AMD 3.x GhZ’s to run. This totally deadens its commercial potential… unless Playstation4 turns out to be quadcore… I wanted to basically hole out in the Boston Convention airconditioning until late night, but the guards and janitors basically kicked everyone out. (Never underestimate the janitor.) It’s always the same story; the janitors always kick you out at the end of the day. I got back and ended up in Pound Hall. I downloaded a few clay-modeling tutorials from the net and started playing with the piece of clay from the Guerilla Studio. (It’s always fun to try out new stuff, except I didn’t have the tools.) I did happen to model a piece of crap that looks vaguely like the bust of some demonic bald old man with a Neanderthal skull. I might fix it up if they have tools at the studio or then again I might just have that scanned up for sentimental value. After a few hours of that, another migraine came up, and I figured I ought to try to sleep. Of course, you know how that ended up. Recall the 0.25 star rating of Dane Hall. ===Envoi=== The night ends with four armed campus policemen barging into Dane, 2nd floor at around 4 AM. Somehow, the artillery didn’t fit with the “Veritas,” patched on their sleeves; then again, truth is often the by-product of force and armed-threats. I thought I heard them knocking on my door, and in fact, I’d been lying awake for the past hour or so, stuck in indecision between trying to attempt to sleep or just waking up and risking the advent of some tremendous headache due to chronic sleep-loss. So, I let them force me into the latter decision. I get up, and I open the door. The dorm doors of Dane are of a class with the campus police in that they stifle choice; they do not give the occupants the privilege of commanding the particular door to lock—instead, the doors lock automatically for you… such that if you take a leisurely but keyless 10-step walk to the kitchen and have your door open, a draft of wind can easily blow it shut, thus locking you out. (Observe, the brilliance of campus facilities.) So anyway, I find that the police are concerned about the guy down the hall who had been sleeping with his door open—a wise decision, especially in the arena of applied fluid dynamics, i.e., heat flow efficiency. Apparently, they thick he’s some vagabond who’d found his way in and wanted to kick him out. The whole thing is just so outrageously stupid that I find myself yelling at the police. What surprises me is that I manage to yell at them without screaming and raising my voice to match the volume of the frolicking screamers outside. I tell them that what they ought to be concerned about is not about people having their doors open in a locked dorm floor, but rather, that there are these morons running around yodeling across the lawn for the past six hours or so. The police with the Hitler-mustache tells me that it’s hot and most people are outside (this is 4 AM), his voice sounding resigned, but then again he has on this pleading expression. It makes no sense to me why they’d be bothering some guy with his door open in the dorm but not caring about these screaming dorks outside. Who knows, these screaming dorks could be the very vagabonds they had feared and armed themselves to confront here at Dane Hall. (Then again, perhaps they are. And maybe the truth of these fool campus policemen prancing around with these false badges of “Veritas” is that they really wouldn’t know how to properly protect themselves if they’d tried confronting the real vagabonds outside.) But, alas, there’s something wrong with my ability to convey my full point verbally these days. Instead of screaming my head out at how incredibly irrational and unjust they are in ignoring the grotesque H2O screams emanating from the field less than a long-jump away from the perimeters of Dane, I merely walk away passively, though not failing to glare in rage at them first, then shaking my fist at them like some aboriginal shaman casting a curse. 3163 7819 2006-08-03T12:17:20Z Yosofun 455 [[YoBlog0802]] moved to [[Blog/YoBlog0802]]: format #REDIRECT [[Blog/YoBlog0802]] 3164 7827 2006-08-03T13:05:20Z 129.69.215.220 Mark Giereth is a researcher at the University of Stuttgart's VIS institute.

The night was so hot that I thought it was finally happening, and sinners like me are going to pay the price. It's my first time in Massachusets, but I presume this kind of weather is not typical, considering that ''The Boston Globe'' had a weather report on its front page. At one point during the night I tried to lie outside on the grass, but I was bitten by mosquitoes. The mosquitoes here are as stoic and polite as the people. They do their job quickly and go away without leaving much damage. The itches didn't last long, and yet I decided not to take any more chances. I went back to my room and went to sleep with the door wide open and the ventilator at full speed. The sweet sleep took over me, but not for long - at 3am I woke up to the voice of two policemen who wanted to know who I was. I believe '''Yosofun''' has already described this incident in [[Blog/YoBlog0802|his blog]], and I have to confess - I'm the one who caused this problem. Seeing a stranger lying in the dorms with the door open made the policemen wonder who I was. I cooperated fully and explained the whole issue to their full stisfaction. They were very polite and efficient, and suggested that coming from Tel Aviv I must be used to this kind of weather. "Not to this kind of weather", I said, "It rarely gets so hot and humid even in Tel Aviv". They sighed, and said that at least it was safer here than in Tel Aviv. I nodded my head in order to avoid a long talk about the Middle East (it is important, but there was nothing they could do about it, nor could I). As the grand event approaches more and more people are gathering in the dorms and around Harvard Law School. Today I have met two guys from Seatle and a girl from Hong Kong. SJ introduced Nicholas and I to a New York Times reporter who came to cover the event. That was during breakfast and I tried to eat quietly without interrupting SJ's interview - I was a bit afraid that I was still affected by the heat and might say nonsence. Eventually he turned to Nicholas and to me and asked a few questions. I hope we did okay, but then again, any publicity is a good publicity... Hopefully. I was tempted to go to the Hacking Days, but eventually gave it up as I wished to join the sight seeing tour of Boston at 13:00. I will have plenty of Wikimania activity tomorrow anyway. Actually, I have already had quite a lot of what I was hoping for. The best part of such a gathering is meeting the people behind the keyboards. A virtual community, such as Wikipedia writers, editors and programmers, has a lot of advantages: it discards the bias of physical appearance and limitations, it crosses political boundaries, it allows you to phrase ideas and messages more carfully using online resources, yet to get immediate responses. Nevertheless, meeting the people in flesh is irreplaceable, and discussing ideas face to face has an impact that on-line messages can never have. To be honest, this face-to-face talks were my main motivation for coming here. 3166 7851 2006-08-03T15:15:33Z RobLa 468 Crude template for next links in "slides" [[#{{{text}}}|next]] = {{{text}}} = 3169 7986 2006-08-03T20:39:37Z 38.102.17.103 (Back to [http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org/wiki/Citizen_Journalism main conference page]) '''Tom Stites writes:''' The dilemma: Traditional sources of quality reporting — metropolitan newspapers and to a lesser degree network television news operations — are contracting relentlessly in terms of their staff resources, coverage ambitions, and audience reach. At the same time, metropolitan newspapers are increasingly skewing both their news and feature coverage to appeal to people in the top two quintiles of the income distribution, thus turning their backs on the majority of Americans. Pew Institute for the People & the Press data show that the decline in newspaper readership is almost entirely confined to people living in households whose income is less than $50,000 a year, people who find very little that’s relevant to their lives in metro dailies. Thus the nonaffluent are abandoned to the soundbite manipulations of cable news and the vapidity of network news, undercutting their ability to be informed citizens. The result is a class divide in access to quality journalism that distorts American democracy. Citizen journalism, blogs, and other emerging approaches to news are rushing in to fill the gap. But while they show significant promise in strengthening democracy, to date they audience they serve is small and rarefied. The challenge: How can the citizen journalism and other emerging forms bring relevant quality journalism to less-than-affluent Americans no longer served by mainstream journalism? How can these media achieve a market penetration that matches that of facebook.com on college campuses or weekly newspapers in rural towns?

A very different community in many ways, and we tend not to get television comedians urging viewers to vandalise our site. We have gatherings now and then, usually local meetings on a monthly basis, but national conventions are held annually in an increasing number of countries. I've attended seven of these things so far, the most recent last month in Birmingham, where 128 of us gathered to do the things BookCrossers do. It is an extraordinary and delightful experience, to meet face to face the people with whom you have shared your online life. Each nametag lists two names - the screen-name and the real-life name. We tend to think of each other by our screen names, real names being something best kept for family, credit cards and jobs, things that don't have much bearing on the online world except as interruptions. As with any other real-life gathering of netizens, there are a large number of folk who cannot make it to the venue, and their plaintive voices resound in the forums, begging to be able to share in the fun. Blog reports, pictures, audio or video streams - anything is seized upon. And a curious thing happens. The real-life participants, severed from their comfort zones of high-speed internet and large chunks of free time, suddenly dry up. Internet access becomes scarce and expensive, and time to go online vanishes, literally eaten up in rounds of dinners and drinks with the other attendees. Not to mention time spent in actually participating in the conference sessions. The attendees try to scrape together time and access late at night or early in the morning, but coverage is kind of spotty. And then the convention breaks up, the attendees are busy with luggage and shuttles and planes, catching up on the backlog at home, and often it's weeks before pictures are posted and backdated blogs written and video streams made available. So, at least for BookCrossing.com, trying to participate remotely is an exercise in frustration. Wikimania looks to be a very different online experience, and I shall observe with interest the proceedings of a group of very special and dedicated people gathering in summer heat.

The heat broke yesterday around 18:00 and left us with a gracious cool breeze. Today it has even rained during the morning. Yesterday was the most intensive and interesting day so far. It began with a chat over breakfast with a New York Times reporter. Later on, a German reporter joined him and asked me some questions. The first subject of interest in such talks, is the very possibility of using Hebrew for an on-line encyclopedia, with its special alphabet and the unique right-to-left direction of writing. Mentioning that I speak Arabic, and edited some Israel-related articles in the Arabic Wikipedia, threw the discussion into another direction, more interesting for a journalist, I suppose. I told the reporters how I edited the article ''Al-Quds'' (i.e. Jerusalem) in the Arabic Wikipedia. I told her how it described the city as a Palestinian capital, while the actual situation in the city suggests otherwise. There should not be a problem with mentioning and elaborating about the Palestinian aspiration to make it a Palestinian capital, yet one cannot turn aspirations into facts when writing a Wikipedia article. I used this example several times when talking about facts vs. views and when discussing the issue of translating articles vs. writing them from scratch from the native speake's point of view. It seems to be a good example, and it attracts the listners.The reporters themselves found this example interesting - it is probably the spicy politics-related story that attracts people more than a debate about the accurate height of a mountain, or how to transform Simplified Chinese characters into Traditional ones. I am willing to supply such spicy examples - geopolitics is indeed one of my favorite fields of interest. The preparations for the big day (i.e. today) intensified, and since I had nothing more important to do, I joined the staff in preparing folders and arranging documents. This has given me another chance to mingle with both organizers and participants. It is a very unique experience meeting intelligent and enthusiastic persons from all around the world. It may sound like a cliche, but as I am not fond of cliches, you can take my word for it. At 13:00 I stood prepared at the front door of Berkley Center, waiting to the Boston sight-seeing tour. Apparently I was the only one who remembered the exact time. Nicholas (from Mumbai) joined me a few minutes later, and the guide, Oscar from the Netherlands, came shortly after him. There were only three of us, so the tour turned to be more intimate and flexible. We decided to walk along ''The Liberty Trail''. Oscar and I gave up in the middle of the 4km track. Nicholas was more sportive and courageous and went all the way to the last historical station. Boston has an interesting jigzaw architecture of old European buildings interrupted by modern sky-scrapper. The historical buildings and monuments are numerous and well preserved. You don't have to guess how they looked back then, you actually see them in their original shape. Sitting at one of Boston's cafes gave Oscar and me the opportunity to develope a long and interesting talk about the nature of Wikipedia, especially the roles of bureaucrats and sys-admins. Oscar talked a lot about the their role as authoritative figures that can minimize the cases of endless arguments, editing fights and low-quality contributions. I told him this view resembles too much Plato's views of a philosopher-ruler. I was wondering whether you have to rely on the bureaucrat or sys-admin's personality, or whether it is better to devise a set of rules, that would maintain peace among Wikpedians. A similar question was raised during today's talks, where the suggestion was to create a flexible system of precedents, i.e. previous cases and solutions that should not be obligatory for future cases but could be a good authoritative resource. ---- '''To Be Continued''' 3195 8169 2006-08-04T14:32:51Z 208.54.95.129 {{abstract |type=poster |author=Ingy dot Net |author2=Jason Richey |author3=Travis Derouin |title=Bringing WikiWYG to MediaWiki |abstract= Wiki text can be daunting to the casual contributor.

Phil Malone writes: Citizen journalists and bloggers are speakers, creators of content, publishers and distributors of their own and others' content, and a lot more. At times, citizen journalists benefit from the law, as when they want to decide how the work they have created should be distributed or reused. At other times, citizen journalists may be threatened by the law and the risk of liability for the content they create, the ways they use other people’s content, the comments others leave on their sites, or even the fact that they are speaking out. Help us brainstorm the most significant ways in which legal considerations are affecting Citizen Media, both good and bad, and the kinds of information and resources you would find most helpful in order to benefit from the good and avoid or defeat the bad. We are especially interested in citizen journalists’ actual legal concerns and experiences and how well existing resources, such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s excellent [https://www.eff.org/bloggers/lg/ Legal Guide for Bloggers], have helped you deal with those concerns. This open discussion is an initial step in a new collaboration between the Center for Citizen Media and the Cyberlaw Clinic at the Berkman Center at Harvard Law School and perhaps cyberlaw clinics at other law schools. Our aim is to better understand the realities of citizen journalists’ legal challenges and to provide information, resources and tools to help address those challenges.

They have recently identified early childhood development as a strategic area of need through a broad-based community survey. As they move forward to formulate programs to address the needs in this area, we proposed starting an on-going video blogging project that allowed the voices of those that the program is intended to help be heard so the programs could be developed in response to the reality on the streets of Detroit and the surrounding communities, moving those receieving the care from victims to partners in creating and inmplementing the solutions. We did our first video recording at some central parks in downtown Detroit the results were amazing. While we don't have the video up yet, you can read [http://www.uwsem.org/blogist/2006/07/community-conversations.html Annemarie Harris's blog comments](United Way - Early Childhood Development Director) in the UWSEM blog.

During this past year, in the English Wikipedia in particular, our policies on biographies of living persons have become much more refined and really a a strong focus on higher quality.'' :''Part of this is just in response by the community to not just the Siegenthaler incident but to lots of other similar incidents. As Wikipedia has gotten to be larger and larger, two things happen. It's become more and more important, so everybody who's famous, like, Stephen Colbert, looks himself up in Wikipedia. But also because the project's gotten larger and larger, we're actually writing articles about less and less famous people. So, you can write anything you want about George Bush and he's not going to call up on the phone and complain, right, he's heard it all. But what happens is, we have very minor celebrities and sort of controversial people, they read their article on Wikipedia and if it isn't good, then they complain, they get upset...'' :''There's a sort of typical pattern where I've seen this happen over and over and over. Somebody, they go to an article and they see something they don't like in it so they blank the article. Right. So somebody warns them, and then they blank again and they get blocked. Right. Then they make a legal threat and they '''really''' get blocked. And it's just like a totally bad experience for that person, when in fact, they may have been right in the first place. Or maybe they weren't right. maybe they just didn't like what we wrote about them, but still, we didn't handle it well.'' :''I think social policies have evolved in recent years, I mean the recent months, to actually handle this problem a lot better. A lot of the admins and experienced editors are taking a really strong stand against unsourced claims, which is always a typical example of the problem.'' :''So my feeling of it is, my sense of it is, that the living biographies part of Wikipedia, which is one of the most difficult and most important areas, is one where we're really seeing a really massive movement towards higher quality. A lot of people in the community are really committed to that.'' :''And the few people who are still sort of in the old days, saying, "Well, you know, it's a wiki, why don't we just... ", yeah, they're sort of falling by the wayside, because lots of people are saying actually, we have a really serious responsibility to get things right.'' 3235 8488 2006-08-05T10:49:07Z Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 590 dab *[[Presenters/Eben Moglen|Eben Moglen]] *[[Presenters/Lawrence Lessig|Larry Lessig]] 3236 8489 2006-08-05T10:51:34Z Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 590 redir #REDIRECT [[Presenters/Eben Moglen with Larry Lessig]] 3238 8711 2006-08-05T20:35:35Z 140.247.248.36 J.

One odd thing about human resources -- creativity, etc. -- is that you can't contract for them. ==Notes produced collaboratively on SubEthaEdit== Yochai Benkler Condensed version of the Wealth of Networks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wealth_of_Networks http://www.benkler.org/wealth_of_networks/index.php/Download_PDFs_of_the_book Two Claims: Wikipedia is a salient cultural example of a phenomenon tied to the particular economic transformattion caused by networked computing. And when this kind of system is injected into modern democracies, we begin to see a more active and engaged form of democracy. 1835-1850: Newspaper startup costs in NYC went from 10,000 to 2.5 million dollars (in 2005 dollars). The modern communication system went to a commercial scale that created a bifurcation between producer and consumer. Radically decentralized capitalization in the last five years Widely distributed computing and communication resources--the decentralization of this social behavior that has long existed is now at the very core of the info economy Commons based peer production--production without exclusion -a subset of this is Peer Production--large scale cooperation without price signals or managerial commands (the core of how industrial production worked) Deep Skeptics who say market will take care of it all--the divergent paths of apache and microsoft (70% and 20% respectively) suggest the market will not. These traditional forms of control are deeply threatened by this new form of production. The threat to traditional business models. Now that costs do not prevent people getting together and producing, we see these emerging forms of communication and media. Social sharing and exchange alongside the core price and managerial economy. | market-based | non-market ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- decentralized | price-system | social sharing & exchange ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- centralized | firms | government; non-profits Radically decentralized authority and practical capability to act: diverse motivations, particularly intrinsic and socio-relational allows diverse insights, capabilty, availability and attention Crowding out creates a complex relationship with money and/or management Larry and Eben- differing notions of fairness--demands reciprocity (GPL, Creative Commons) versus take it, why not (BSD) From finished information/cultural products to platform based self-expression Social Production is a fact--sustainable and growing fast but threat to established business models---and this is the basis for politics and the battlefield over things like net neutrality and copyfight Politics AUTONOMY, DEMOCRACY AND JUSTICE all can be improved by these new forms of exchange and collaboration Our modern democracy occurs within the mediated public sphere (dromocracy)--we will begin to see how these new media will change the public sphere. Example of Diebold-Blackbox voting and the ensuing effects of how problematic these voting machines were. Internet democratizes (and critique)--see chapter seven--nodes uplink in the public sphere Critical Culture--plasticity and malleability--reemergence of repressed folk cultures--RW--transparency, critical evaluation HDI - Human Development Index * all components of it depend on knowledge Justice--commons based production is starting to do things "A2K" - access to knowledge movement what's at stake is the shape of our economies and more importantly, our democracies in the next 30-50 years to miss the opportunities to make improve our freedoms, democracy, would be a travesty questions: it's not personal, it's business is the refrain. but for fs advocates is that it is personal: "You bet it's personal!" jason calacanis question: you wrote on your blog that when you start paying people that weren't get paid, you create a (different class?). comparison to paid firefighters and volunteer firefighters. a: it wasn't a blog, it was a comment on another blogs a: what i dislike about the way i presented your challenge as representing volunteers as suckers (andrew cut off jason and told him to take it offline) Is there potential for e-goverment?

If you look carefully, however, you'll find that he merely improved it somewhat and patented it, used the patent to build a monopoly, used the monopoly to drive the real inventor into bankruptcy, used his power to stifle innovation in steam engines for years and years. Some tried to fight this but lost in court. After Watt's patent expired, improvement started again, and the Industrial Revolution begun. In 1811 Cornish miners began publishing ''Lean's Reporter'' which contained the "source code" for building new steam engines -- plans with enough detail that others could copy and improve. They refrained from getting patents on their new inventions. 186 years later, the same thing happened for web servers and other programs. Two charts: graph of the increasing power of steam engines, graph of the market share of Apache. Quick poll: all of you put something in to Wikipedia and all of you get something out. On balance, in terms of benefit and effort, do you think you put more in or get more out? (Only a couple people say they put more in, the whole room says they get more out. Studies find the same in the free software community. Therefore, there's a significant degree of self-interest. Asked the same question about others, the only half think others take more than they give. Of course this disparity isn't possible in reality -- unless something modifies the valuable in between... Imagine a typical barter system: Alice gives up a fish because she doesn't really want one, Bob gives up the potatoes because he has too many -- so they're both beter off. Another possibility is a price market. Another possibility is to combine the two into a tribal cooking pot, creating a soup that's worth more than what's put in. How do you divide the soup? Tribes have a concept of reciprocity -- you take in proportion to what you put. Economic goods are non-rivalrous, so instead of dividing the pot, everyone gets all of it. That's why it's possible for others to be so much more generous: because you get so much out despite the comparitvely small amount you put in, so you imagine there must be someone doing all the rest and not getting any. If you look at the money created through such processes, it's enormous. Debian created around $14B in value. Many people criticize this by saying they just copy commercial companies, just like people say James Watt was a grand inventor, but that doesn't seem consistent with the facts -- in many areas the free software is the source of innovation. Plus it's discovered a new organizational structure for innovation. The project is run through self-organization. If you look at projects on SourceForge with more than 10 developers, especially the projects with more than 50, there's an enormous amount of concentration: the top 10% of developers write 75% of the code. This power law is the same thing in every self-organized network, except it's much sharper in these projects because you lead by doing. So why don't these top 10% capture all their value? Well, they might make 75% of the code -- but that'd be a three-legged chair. You need the bottom 98% of users to build the last leg. That's what makes the network sustainable. The concept of collaborative knowledge isn't new, what's new is the scale and the tech. 3245 8552 2006-08-05T15:11:02Z Markus Krötzsch 530 full text to be added later The presentation for this talk is available online at [http://korrekt.org/talks/Wikimania2006/ korrekt.org].

BREWSTER KAHLE stands at the front of the room before a projected set of slides. SJ KLEIN introduces:'' SJ KLEIN: Welcome to the second day keynote. Brewster's goal is surprisingly close -- almost word-for-word -- to the goals of the Wikimedia Foundation. He's built many key tools, including the Internet Archive, the Million Book Project, and Alexa Internet. He's recently been thinking about what it means to build the digital library of the future in both tools and law, to make a comprehensive list of the knowledge that's out there and get it every single person. Brewster Kahle. BREWSTER KAHLE: This group is doing something really big. I think these talks are about trying to understand what it is and what our role is in it. What I'm really interested in is the connection between open source, open content, and technical non-profits. So maybe you can help me figure it out. === The grand goal === Marvin Minsky taught me to pick a nice big goal so you can work on it for your life and keep moving along. It's nice if you can't achieve your goal, because what do you do if you achieve it? So here's mine: Universal Access to All Human Knowledge. Not going to be achieving that. Look at the Alexa data: something big is going on. And the nice thing is that you can unreservedly feel good about it. There's no "but...". It signs up to this big enlightenment goal of all knowledge. === The structural problems and solutions === When I started working on this goal, I found a structural one, not a technical one: the idea of copyright as property. It's one of the worst ideas of the century, with the exception of the domino theory. "Information is knowledge, knowledge in that science sense that you build on other's work." But the star of the other show is Jack Valenti, who pushed through the 1976 radical extension of the US Copyright regulation. It was a travesty, but the repurcussions took a while to come out. The first casualty was software. When I was at MIT, we built software for the Lisp machine, but it was part of the ethic not to sign the code. But MIT claimed it as their property and sold it to a company called Symbolics. RMS and Richard Greenblatt tried to keep up with the commercial version and lost. RMS "blew a fuse" and came up with the idea of the GPL. Another casualty was music and video, which Larry Lessig responded to with Creative Commons. Another response is organizatins around community efforts on the Internet, in large part because we lost places like MIT -- it was hard to do things in that structure without it being hurt by a collection of lawyers. So we built other organizations, like the Free Software Foundation. But there were others, like DejaNews which was structured as a for-profit, got sold to Google, and disappeared. Then there was IMDB, a community project that got bought by Amazon.com. CDDB collects the track information for CDs on your computer, that became Gracenote. There was WAIS, a pre-Web publishing system I started, which turned into a company (it was the only thing we knew how to do) wh ch we sold to AOL and basically disappeared. FTP Software sold to netmanage, Cygnus sold to Red Hat. My point is companies built around community efforts don't last very long. The Apache Software Foundation is an incorporated structure to work on free projects. The Open Source Application Foundation, funded by foundations. Mozilla, funded by Google and making so much money they spun off a for-profit. Linux has a foundation. The Internet Archive -- 10 years, last year was $5M, this year will be $8M. Built around the open access model, pay for the administration to make everything available. The Wikimedia Foundation. It seems like there's something go on with the technical non-profits. What does that mean? Let's watch it. In 10 or 15 years, we'll see what happens. I think we may have gone wrong with the over-corporatization after WWII. Small companies from centuries ago were more thin-skinned, more interesting. Now there are also supporting organizations for these open systems: EFF, Public Knowledge, Open Content Alliance. These organizations are like infrastructure to serve us. The Internet isn't new, but we screwed up the legal structure and we need these organizations to reform it. Then there's open hardware. We, for example, built the Petabox, a cheap petabyte=size machine. We couldn't find one, so we built it and open sourced all the tools. Much more important is the $100 laptop, with interest on the order of 5-10M. What happens when the next major laptop company is a non-profit? Mary-Lou Jepson, the CTO, says they succeed because governments trust the non-profit. === Solving the grand goal: a progress report === So now that we have these structures in place to respond to knowledge-as-property, we can get back to our grand goal. Now I'm on ground I know a little more about: how are we doing? I'm going to go down the types on the Amazon website: books, movie, software. '''Text:''' We can't make all text available for free -- some of it will cost money -- but we can make it all available. Let's do everything -- how big is it? 26-28M books in the Library of Congress, the text for each is about 1M. 26M is 26TB, fits in a $60K Linux box the size of the table. The whole Library of Congress, spinning on the Net. The cost of a house. So how do you get it there? What do you do with it once you have it? Well, digitized you can do searches and try different interfaces and so on. But I don't really want to read a book on a screen -- I like books. So what if we can do electronic printing at the last possible minute? So we said, "how hard can it be?" We made a Bookmobile -- a van with a satellite dish. We pull out a table and print, bind, and cut books right there. A book costs a penny a page -- a buck. Now we're in India, Egypt, Uganda -- bringing books to rural areas. So we're getting close. But we needed to scan more books. So how do we do that? One way is to send them to India. We bought 100K books for the Million Books Project and it worked great, but other people weren't into it -- it didn't make them feel good. So the Indians started scanning their own books. And that's probably right. Similar projects in China and Egypt. So what we found was put the scanners next to the books, it's not worth the savings. So how much does it cost to scan it here? $10 in India, $30 in the US (assuming 300pg book). We tried the robots but we ended up building our own system with two digital cameras that work without breaking the binding. So we have these scanners in four libraries now. Scanning about 400 books a day now. So we've got the tech to work. 26M books, $30 a book, but $750M -- one-time shot and we have the Library of Congress, for everybody. For comparison: the LoC budget has a $500M/yr. budget, the entire library system is $12B. Only 10%, that's pretty good. It could be corporate or private, but the technology is there. Of course, there's still a legal problem of orphaned works, so we started a lawsuit: ''Kahle v. Ashcroft'' (now ''Gonzales''). We came up with the term "orphaned works" -- and since we framed the problem, we've almost already won. Valenti is brilliant at this -- artists v. pirates. So we channeled him and came up with orphaned works: ''who could be against the orphans?'' And it's working -- the copyright office asked what they should do about orphaned works and everyone responded ''give the orphans a home!'' So then we need to move to out-of=print works, then in-print works. So books are doable. And through the Open Content Alliance, libraries, Yahoo! and Microsoft (Micrsoft going open!). '''Audio:''' ??M of published musical works, but you have to be careful about putting them online. Lots of people want to put their stuff online, but need bandwidth. So we partnered with one particular group (the rock-and-rollers!) who allowed bootlegging as long as there was no money involved, not even the cost of the tape. They tried to do it on the Internet, but it was technically tough. So we asked them if they wanted unlimited storage, unlimited bandwidth, forever for free. They said: We don't believe you. We said: Try us. They said: If you can do that, it would be our dream. Always a good sign! So we asked the band's permission, got lots of OKs. We now have over 2000 rock-and-roll bands, 1000s of recordings, 2800 just of the Grateful Dead. So it's working. And we're finding a role for technical non-profits to make it free to give something away. In this country, giving away is free--except on the Internet. If you get /.ed, it could be a nightmare -- you could lose your house from the ISP bills. We need more than just licenses, we need institutions to take care of the commons. Now the European Archive is digitizing LPs in Europe of classical music for free, announcement at the end of September. It's within our grasp -- $10/disc. All published music? It's doable. '''Moving Images:''' Larger files, but fewer of them. Look at theatrical releases, it's only 200K films. We can do all of it! There are a lot of archival films that never got wide distribution; we now have 30K on the archive (dwarfed completely by YouTube -- an awesome service) and we're finding whole genres we didn't even know about, like Lego films. There are political events, lectures (usually end up in closets), etc. So we digitize them -- we have a guy who does it for $15 for video-hour. You guys have videos -- let's get them online! Then there's television. We think there are 400 channels, we have 20 of them, 24 hours a day at DVD quality. Got about a petabyte now. Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Iraq, Al-Jazeera, ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox, etc. It's unfortunately mostly all unavailable. I remember Noam Chomsky saying you had to read 7 papers in the morning because papers had a point of view. I thought he was nuts -- it'd get in my corn flakes! But now I see he's right. After 9/11 CNN said Palestinians were dancing in the streets. Really? Let's look at Palestinian television. Let's do it all. '''Software:''' 50K software titles, almost all rotting, got a DMCA exemption to be able to archive it. But we need a lot of help. '''Web:''' Our best-known collection. We take a full snapshot every 2 months. It's growing...fast. But the disks have been growing too. It's about a petabyte. For preservation, we made a copy in the new Library of Alexandria (libraries burn...usually by governments). Working on one in Amsterdam. Try to do it in mutual swap agreements--back an forth. The Wayback Machine gets about 100 hits/sec. We find that most people are looking for their own stuff; people are reasonably excited. === Next Steps === It's possible to do it. There are open questions: public or private, profits or nonprofits. Google's project is quite possibly are only shot at digitizing Harvard, and it's going to one company, with lots of bizarre restrictions. So let's go back to stuff I don't know much about. Let me advertise some stuff we need help with. '''Build open networks.''' The Internet is fantastic, but it's being run by fewer and fewer telecom companies. What if we built open neworks run by open organizations? Like community wireless. We're seeing the issue of net neutrality, since the telecom companies are back to their old tricks. Do we try to stop them with regulation or do we try to build a better system. One way is distributed ownership. People own their own PCs now, then their own routers, but we still connect through commercial links. What if we own those too? So there was an experiment in SF (SFlan) -- a rooftop hopping network. Just an idea. '''Open and transparent Web search.''' Let's let the commercial guys do the ad thing, but let's build some alternatives. There are just too few search engines and they're not creative enough. We tried something with time-based search on the whole Web archive--done by just one woman and indexed more pages than Google. Unfortunately, we didn't have a business model so she went to work for Google. (Hopefully she'll be back when she cashes her stock options in.) There's also Nutch. '''Privacy and anonymity.''' Let's solve this guys, it's not that hard. It's now ''known'' that the US Government is watching all our traffic. We have a long history of anonymous publishing, let's take advantage of it. One example is Tor. '''Patents.''' What about a GPL for patents? The Defensive Patent License (DPL) is being worked on by the EFF and USC Law Clinic. Let's organizations pool patents so their patents really are defensive. '''Open textbooks.''' People say they need textbooks. There's a Wikipedia proejct, maybe it needs more help, maybe it needs seed, but it's a big issue and we need to nail it. Textbooks are the #1 request worldwide. '''Add attribution to Wikipedia.''' Please. ''(some applause)'' Gutenberg should know what edition their books are and we should know where the facts on Wikipedia come from. Like Ted Nelson's ideas of transclusion. I was with Richard Feynman in 1982 and we were looking at the new ''Encyclopedia Britannica'' with propedia and micropedia and we calculated that at five more levels it'd go all the way down to the Library of Congress. So just a request while I'm here. '''Open library.''' We're scanning lots of books and we need to make them relevant. But what if we could annotate them: why is this book interesting? A new kind of catalog, a living one. Why you should care about this book. === The grand goal === The structures are there. The technical ability is there. We can pull this off. Universal access to all knowledge can be one of our greatest achievements, up there with the man on the moon in the mythology of ''humanity''. Thanks. == Q&A == '''Q:''' What do you do about rotting information? '''A:''' Scan it, put it online. It's possible to do the whole thing, so let's actually do it. What we do is make copies in different locations. We do lose data -- but the only thing we know is keep 2 copies and toss the machines every 3 years. It's tough. '''Q:''' How do you move to 2-way communication? '''A:''' You're doing more than I ever dreamed of, including large-scale participation. We're trying to put up university lectures from around the world. We need to make it OK to put stuff somewhere else as long as it preserves attribution. '''Q:''' Engineering societies submit papers, for free, to IEEE, who turns around to charge us. '''A:''' Public Library of Science. I like the ideas of science but we let a few orgs take control of it. It's very painful. We're having to build whole new systems to replace them; it's terrible to have to repeat ourselves. So let's to it right next time. '''Q:''' Can we help your storage challenge with something like Seti@Home? '''A:''' Please, please do! The SETI guys offered the computers. The F451 idea -- everyone keeps a book -- makes a heck of a lot of sense. We're just not clever enought to be able to pull it off. '''Q:''' So what? You have universal access. History is driven by its ''use''. We had the enlightenment, but we're still on the brink of destroying ourselves because it's not being ''used'' right. '''A:''' Wow. So your question isn't "so what?" but more "is this really going to help? is it going to hurt?" Is it going to help? It's a guess. I take it almost as a given. I think it's embedded in the enlightenment goals. You can ask whether it hurts -- but I take it as a given. Isn't that a wimp-out answer? (''audience member:'' it's an honest answer.) '''Q:''' What about the developing world? They missed the industrial revolution, we can't let them miss the information revolution. '''A:''' Devloping is the wrong way to look at it. Information is like biodiversity. Diversity of ideas, stories, languages, are not in the US. We can all sing the Gilligan's Island theme song. We made a small, dumb amount of knowledge universal. So let's do everything we can to make everything universal. '''Q (continued):''' What about network access? '''A:''' Yeah, that's broken. But we've come a long way. Maybe solar-powered wireless units you can throw out of airplanes and just have them repeat. Maybe we can get someplace. '''Q:''' What about people who don't have the tools of access? '''A:''' First, realize they're worth accessing. Second, just do it. $100 laptop. $30 book. But I've never been someplace so obscure I've been more than one day's walk from an Internet cafe -- they're everywhere. Maybe they're too expensive, but they could be the next generation of libraries. '''Q:''' A lot of the info you talk about is public, but a lot of what we have from the past is private. Unless you're counting on the NSA to give you access to people's email, that all might get lost? What if you could BCC your email to a bot that strips out the identifiable names so we can have an archive of communication. '''A:''' Yes. And we're losing the drafts people are writing on hard drives that will fail. We're overcollecting some and undercollecting others. Companies have document destruction policies, because they can be sued for holding on to information and have to produce it in discovery. We need to bring balance back, so it doesn't cost you to remember. '''Q:''' Talk about peak oil, peak gas, the end of energy. What happens if the power goes out? What happens if an asteroid hits the Earth? Do you think about this kind of stuff? Just curious. '''A:''' All the time, I live in California. One thing we technologists can do is to build tech to keep people off the roads -- let's make it productive to stay at home. Ambient video things, etc. to help the oil. As for the archive, I'm counting on problems. But not the idea of an Ice Age. The Long Now has been working more on that kind of thing, aiming at the archaeologist with an optical microscope in ten years. '''Q:''' After 18 years there's finally a bill for a public intelligence agency. Can you say why it should not be owned by the spies instead of the diplomats? '''A:''' Sounds good to me. What does intelligence look like in an era of data mining? '''Q:''' Where monopolies? Where decentralized? '''A:''' I come from small is beautiful, small is robust. We like to be replicated and have friendly competition. The key to longevity is use.

But here I am, it's two thirty in the Canberra morning, everyone in Boston is breaking for lunch, it's winter cold and I've got the heater on, and I can see on the [http://hlssun3.law.harvard.edu:8888/ramgen/encoder/2006_wikimania_ames.rm video feed] that people there are dressed quite differently (well, they aren't in their pyjamas, for one thing). I'm also in a different hemisphere in just about every way. But short of actually being there, the online coverage is cool. My wife says my travel budget for the year is pretty well used up, so I'm not there. It's more convenient than squeezing myself into a seat in the back of the airbus and crossing the Pacific, I guess. Not as much fun. I'm listening to the question period of Brewster Kahle's [http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proceedings:BK1 "Universal Access to All Knowledge"] now. And watching Brewster in a little window in the corner as he dances with cameramen and gives incredibly literate and inspiring answers to deep and heartfelt questions. That's cool. I'm also able to spot a few wikidentities, especially if I blow the window up. I came in yesterday, Canberra's Saturday morning to Boston's Friday afternoon, and discovered that I'd missed all the live streams for the day. Guess maybe I shouldn't have had breakfast and answered my emails and stuff. I hunted around and found Jimbo's keynote address on the [http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org/wiki/Archives Archives page] and listened to that. Inspiring words, and there was even a [http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org/wiki/Archives/Jimbo_Keynote bit] that I found especially interesting, which I carefully transcribed. Everyone should listen to the entire hour-long speech, by the way. Jimbo's a great speaker and sorta fills you up with enthusiasm for whatever he happens to be talking about, which always seems to be some amazing project for the good of humanity in general. The bit I was interested in had to do with making Wikipedia a better experience for non-Wikipedians, because I've found that there's often an abrasive interface between the old hands who know all the guidelines and policies because they basically wrote the book, and "outsiders" who try to help but get thrown off balance by all the jargon and wikiways. Some punk nerd kid with a wikiyear and admin status under his belt gives them a hard time because they aren't doing things the right way and throws them a block to shut them up while they learn how to do things according to the MoS. Yeah, way to attract normal people. I looked at [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent Changes]] and was uh, impressed. On WP, it's Niagara Falls, and no one person can possibly keep up. Here, it's slow as treacle dripping from the can, and there's not a lot happening. This may be an artifact of the phenomenom I mentioned in my [[Blog/From_The_Far_Side_Of_The_World|previous entry]], where all the people who are supposed to be updating and transcribing and commentating are busy doing other things, like actually running the show, making sure people get to the right places, have lunch, have wireless access and so on, and they just don't have time to sit down and update. Maybe there's a team of transcribers hard at work somewhere and it's just not filtering onto the wiki. But what's appearing is all good. I thought this blog section would be running hot. I guess it is, in a way, because there are any number of bloggers who are [http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_Blogs posting links], and so I can go cruise external blogsites and share the experience that way. I hung around on the IRC channel for a while in my afternoon/Boston's early morning. A bit of action, including a Sydneysider who was, like me, wishing he was there. Brion came on and posted links to his [http://www.flickr.com/photos/brionv/ funny photos collection]. Others talked about drugstores and dorms and hotel rooms (''You at the marriot? Ooooh lovely, you go to all the swanky hotels'') and all the usual IRC banter. In a way, this site is more than I can handle. When things are happening, there are two video streams, not to mention all the other stuff, and there's no way I can keep up with everything. On the other hand, there's a lag in updates because the updaters are busy doing actual real-life things. I guess that after the event finishes all the transcripts and archived video will be put up. Anyway, I'm grateful for what is being made available. And I get to keep all the comforts of home and my high speed internet and ready availability of coffee. On the other hand, as I know from my frenzied attendance at BookCrossing.com conventions around the globe, it's nothing like the same as actually being there and sharing space with some famous names. Maybe next year... -- Skyring 3260 8644 2006-08-05T18:48:34Z AaronSw 610 < [[Proceedings:ME1]] Been a scientist for years. First you could read everything, then with genome technology and so on it became too hard to do it all yourself, then tried to digitize it and in doing so realized that our scientific knowledge as captured by private companies. The scientific literature is one of humanity's great creations. Why don't you have access? Well, who controls the scientific literature? The scientists do it, the institutions support them, the public funds them, and the journals convert it to PDF and upload it. Who gets control? The journals! It's shocking when you think of it. If you ask "Who should be in control?" there's no way you'd come up with "the journals" as the answer. So we can put aside the moral issues and turn to why things are this way. The scientific journal is about 350 years old, dating back to 1650. One of the first was ''Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society''. Their goal was a broad, educational one. But it got captured by big business and now it's very, very profitable. Margins of 40 to 50%. And how could it be otherwise? You give these people your papers for free and then buy them back. Journals play an important role in scientific culture. They're key to the community of science, because they allow you to tell people what you're doing. They also do pper review, filtering/organizing, and are thus key factors in prestige and career building. None of those needs disappeared when journals went online. What going online did do was that it changed the economics of the business: the reaosn journals used to be a business was because it cost money to make copies. That's not true anymore. But there are many costs of the old system. Only the wealthiest institutions get anywhere close to being able to access to all journals. Even at Berkeley, there are lots of things I want to access as part of my research that I can't get. I have to use a password to the Stanford system! And it's a hundred times worse for my colleagues at smaller institutions. And the general public gets hardly anything. If you find yourself with an obscure disease, you don't have access to anything. And scientists in the developing world face similar problems. I have a lot of colleagues in Argentina who have to get me to send them PDFs of things they need. Scientists and the public are being denied a huge tool in driving science forward. When it comes to the genome, journals got tired of publishing long strings of AGCTs, so they forced it to be published in an online repository. These got used by scientists all over running computer programs. That led to the human genome sequencing project, because it became clear that these strings were useful. That's just one tiny bit: imagine if we opened the whole thing! If science isn't in the public domain, the public domain has no meaning. But we still need scientific journals to do all the other tasks. The idea of open access is that those are costs of ''doing'' research. When you get a grant, it should realize that research isn't done until it's shared, so they should pay for publication. Midwifes play an essential role in the childbirth process, but it's absurd to let them own the baby and rent it back to the parents! So instead the open access system says do the same -- let science keep the results and pay a fee to the journals. I was a reluctant crusader for this project, but when we saw the system was hurting our research, we had to take action. Our first attempt was asking the journals nicely to open it up. We quickly learned that was a mistake. Second, we saw the physicists had set up arXiv.org and bypassed the whole journal system altogether. A similar system was proposed for biology and met with such opposition that, under threats of Congressional oversight, it was defeated. Third, we decided to build an alternative system with the National Library of Medicine (PubMed Central) which put up electronic copies of all their papers. We figured journals would send their old stuff to the library, but again we were naieve. Most actively resisted it as "government control" of the literature. Fourth, we tried to use our power as scientists to pressure the journals to submit things to PubMed by promising to use the ones that did. 30,000 scientists signed this statement and we went to the journals with them. The journals replied "Screw you." Fifth, we decided to start are an alternative system: the Public Library of Science, a publisher that could show that prestigeous journals could be open. What does PLoS do? First, we publish outstanding work -- keep the snobbishness and hierarchy so scientists won't resist. (And then we can change the model as we expand the system.) Second, we demonstrate the economic model works. Third, we can develop new ways to show why open access is important by providing for new uses of the scientific literature. PLoS Biology has become a legitimate alternative to the most prestigeous journals, and we've started PLoS Medicine and some more focused ones in computational biology, genetics, and pathogens. We've published 1731 open access articles so far. A drop in the bucket, but the start of a trend. All under a CC license. The effects: most publishers now claim they're "open access", coopting the term (proof we're winning the PR battle). More importantly, government and funders are putting on the pressure. Still, many challenges remain. Many scientists are still reluctant to give up the old journals. 3261 8639 2006-08-05T18:44:30Z Zanimum 330 3262 9846 2006-08-09T22:27:16Z 68.163.32.198 === Lawrence Lessig - The Ethics of the Free Culture Movement === *Transcript ** [http://lessig-transcript.blogspot.com/ Transcript on Christopher Bradley's blog] * Video **[http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1926631993376203020&hl=en Google Video] ** [http://blip.tv/file/57456 QuickTime via blip.tv] 3263 8655 2006-08-05T19:05:48Z Raul654 627 Picture of Boston taken from the OLPC lab\ By Raul654 {{GFDL}} Picture of Boston taken from the OLPC lab\ By Raul654 {{GFDL}} 3264 8656 2006-08-05T19:05:51Z Raines 572 Populated page with initial video excerpt [http://blip.tv/file/57458/ video excerpt (QuickTime via blip.tv)] 3265 8657 2006-08-05T19:06:52Z Raul654 627 A bush found in the MIT roof garden By Raul654 {{GFDL}} A bush found in the MIT roof garden By Raul654 {{GFDL}} 3267 9139 2006-08-06T05:44:45Z Zuirdj 161 ==Content created at Wikimania== <gallery> Image:Boston hacking day 1.jpg|Boston, as seen from the One Laptop Per Child office during hacking days Image:MIT roof garden9.jpg|A bush found in the MIT roof garden Image:MIT roof garden1.jpg|The MIT roof garden Image:Old Burying Ground.jpg|The Old burial ground Image:Common.jpg| Harvard Yard Panoramic at 4:00PM Image:TrinityChurch.JPG|An eclectic vision from the past to the future I.

Luckily it is distributed abundantly, and it doesn't cause global warming (well, maybe it does, but I can stop using it whenever I want). I know I promised to continue yesterday's blog. I wonder if I should keep this promise. The events happen so fast here, that continuing yesterday's blog is like telling last year's news. I was busy yesterday, honestly. When I finally spotted an unmanned computer, I was suddenly pied-piped by Gerard the living spirit behind the WiktionaryZ program. Enthusiasm is his middle name, and the love of lexicography is mine, so it was perfect. We can now tell that we met at WiktionaryZ and our song is the quite tune of the computer's ventilator. As I wrote before, I speak Hebrew here more than I could have imagined. Strangely I don't hear much French, Arabic, and most surprisingly not a single word of Finnish. It is not that I speak Finnish, but I always compare the Hebrew Wiki community to the Finnish one in the sense that both have a unique language spoken predominately in one country, but with people who are enthusiastic about computers, Internet and gadgets. I did met people from India, Nepal, Indonesia and Iceland. The highlight of the day was Brewster Kahle's introduction to his ''Universal Access to All Knowledge'' (You have the link in the blog beneath mine). Bibhusan, a Wikipedian from Nepal, told me he was not entirely pleased with the concept. A considerable amount of the Nepali knowledge, he says, is orally transmitted, hence, it won't appear in Kahle's large archive. I didn't think about it during the talk, but when he told me that, it stroke me, because I heard such a claim before. All that remained of orally transmitted cultures is usually what Christian missionaries thought that should be written down in the alphabet they brought with them from Europe. Nepali culture is in better condition because it already has its own alphabet and a litterate tradition. The problem is probably to encourage litteracy, or perhaps realizing that passive recording of all texts and other media is not enough. Some cultural material must be reached out for, otherwise it will disappear. Another interesting question that was raised at the last moments of the talk was: what's the use of all this infomation, and why aren't we better off letting it disappear. Knowledge can indeed be a dangerous thing. I believe it was the American anthropologist [[w:en:Jared Diamond|Jared Diamond]] who questioned such inventions or revolutions as agriculture and writing, listing all of their horrible disadvantages. One could indeed say - well, these inventions are here to stay, but let's not get too enthusiastic about them. I believe it is a matter of values. If you think that distributing information is a value that should be adhered to, then you must acknowledge its possible damage and be willing to deal with it. I think that was also implied in Kahle's answer. One interesting talk was the use of Wikimedia in education, particularly in high-schools and universities. My father has made a small research about community schools in Israel, and I must direct him to the recording of that talk. The examples for the use of Wiki in university courses were from Israel, so he cannot use the language barrier as an excuse - he should contact the speaker (unless he became interested in some other subject by now - I inherited this character from him). One phrase to memorize from that talk is Dewey's: "Education is not a preparation to life, it is life". Don't give me that look - I like cynisism, but one should take a break from time to time. Speaking of Cynisism - I don't see much of it here. Actually I don't see it here at all. It is amazing how people can get enthisiast once they have the tools and the resources they need. If we are bound to clash with an astroid, we might as well clash with a great deal of enthusiasm (yes, the cynicism break is over). 3276 9151 2006-08-06T06:58:18Z Yosofun 455 heading ==20060805's Yoblog== I woke up late today; even though I might have woken up like twenty times this morning/night (thanks to the many things that go boom in the dark), this might be the first night which I’ve slept consecutively for more than an hour. The second floor of Dane, albeit with a female-only restroom, has a much higher population of males than female, and, as I venture off to my morning toilet, I notice that the toilet seat is up! Since there were still the same pattern of toilet paper scraps on the floor and the waste basket was yet to be dumped, I’m pretty sure this wasn’t from the maid. It appears that this restroom has experienced its first(?) male intruder. I don’t really mind that gender-confused males might surreptitiously use this designated female-only restroom. (I admit to doing something like this myself, whenever I’m on the wrong floor in a physics department building.) However, I do request that they put the toilet seat down after they finish! Finding edible breakfast at this hour proved to be more difficult than I expected; the dining halls were closed and those preparing lunch wouldn’t let me take any early, or “else there wouldn’t be any left for lunch.” I did manage to beg a Harknesss cafeteria worker for a piece of dried hot dog bread, though; with a furtive glance, she went behind the counters and found a piece of bread, then handed it to me through the holes in the barred gate. Ah, the shameless urchin that I am. After some prolonged digestive problems, I went about trying to find the Ames Courtroom. When I finally found it, I was fifteen minutes late, and the place was jam-packed. Snaking through the side and back aisle, I finally found an empty space on top of some heaters in the back. The lecture was… well, what had I expected? It would have been interesting if the guy were to go into the details of his Kahle supreme court(?) case, but, instead, he spent a lot of time talking about random trivialities. (Honestly, though, he reminds me of those not-yet-tenured “interdisciplinary-humanities” prof’s at UCSD doomed never to get tenured.) Interestingly, though, he talked about bookwarez, though he did not directly utter that particular forbidden word. He also implicated that the fate of all successful non-profits ended in purchase by a company; the corollary question would be—which corporation would MW be taken by? And, if MW is purchased, would all its millions of contributors be monetarily compensated? He didn’t broach up such interesting questions, and instead went on to rambling in some wacked stream of consciousness like an ill-fit humanities prof; I left at noon, half an hour before the talk’s planned ending. Food was already being served. One of the servers took a look at me, and declared that I was sick. True, my usual pallor might have evolved into a more ghastly white due to my unplanned-for fasting. I let her mommy me, accepting her declaration that my blood sugar was low and accepting her offer to get me some orange juice. She then sent me straight to bed, packing up my food for me, albeit, this was against the catering rules (according to another server who objected to this). The whole event was all quite cute, and I did do as she told me to do. I arrived at the Lighting Talks #2 about ten minutes late… and, apparently, a bunch of people signed up on the barcamp-styled paper-based-whiteboard already. Though the moderator claimed that half the people who signed up on the board weren’t here (how did they sign up with the big black sharpie then?), I sacrificed my online-reserved spot deferring to the impromptu third talk tomorrow, which meant I could go to the PLoS/Open Access academic journals thing (though tomorrow, I’d definitely attend the Schrodinger Multiverse imp’s thing at 2). The Open Access talk in the Ames Room turned out to be a broad overview of PLoS (Public Library of Science), thus-far a biology-only scientific journal, which supposedly gives the public open access, eliminating the usual subscription-based fees of journals such as Nature or AJP. It appears to be the Biology-version of the Math/Physics Arxiv. The speaker went overtime, and the Q/A session was eliminated in favor of the second invited speaker. The speaker did not mention anything about Philica, a new online journal system with an eBay-like peer-review scheme—which has actually been recommended as an alternative journal source by Nature! He did mention that it’d be convenient for the general public to be able to view a “linked version” of a scientific article, where certain keywords are linked to their respective Wikipedia articles, and the references properly linked. However, he also failed to mention that reference-linking is already done on e-prints of major journals like Phys Rev, which any university student can access through their library proxy. The second invited speaker in the mid-afternoon session at Ames was… um… well… someone who did research with um… empathy and the Internet. She “researched,” quote, “Mexican children” (who were really just Hispanic or mulatto children who lived in Maryland) and their Internet experiences. These children appear normal, and I find it detrimental to her so-called research on empathy that she did not plan to talk about [http://www.ercim.org/publication/Ercim_News/enw57/harpur.html socially-disabled children—kids with Asperger’s syndrome—developing social skills via immersive multiuser online systems]. Overall, I’m sorry to say that her talk was painfully contentless—literally, I ended up with a horrible migraine in the middle of it. I went back to Lightning Talks #2, thinking that I might get to squeeze into the remainder of the session, if indeed, they’d depleted their source of speakers… only to find that people were still talking. For the late afternoon session, I went to the presentation on WikiWizard, a clever implementation of a WikiWYG. Although Java-based (thus bulky, ewww), the idea of the system seems solid. Experienced wiki users would want to have full control of syntax, and this WikiWizard applet gives the user just that—and more. For example, a user can use the usual quote-marks to bolden or italicize words, but WikiWizard will display, while editing, the marked words in ether bold or italics. Alternatively, there’s also a GUI for less-adept users. But, the key idea is that the syntax is displayed along-side—‘’so that as the less-adept user uses the applet more and more, the user will eventually learn the syntax through familiarity and multiple occurrences.’’ Discussion was made of multiple-modes being offered so that the truly phobic user might be sheltered from syntax completely, but, on second thought, multiple modes might be detrimental—most users will eventually want to get to know the syntax, and learning it through this gentle hybrid exposure is perhaps the most natural way to learn it. (Incidentally, I should mention that I may be biased based on personal experience. I learned HTML via Homesite’s hybrid HTML/visual output system back in seventh grade, a few years before Homesite was to be absorbed by the late Macromedia. Thus, I’m an adamant believer in this idea of learning through repeated exposure, since that was apparently what happened to me.) I tried staying for the Disambiguation talk afterwards, though I had to leave, since again, the too-often-repeated common sense points spurned yet another migraine. The guy did have one interesting and amusing point—European cities with the same name are often disambiguated with the river they’re closest to, rather than the country they’re a part of, “since in Europe, country names are never stable.” 3277 8729 2006-08-05T22:16:18Z DamianFinol 190 Harvard yard panoramic Harvard yard panoramic 3289 9102 2006-08-06T03:01:26Z Skyring 615 /* Flipping the Bird */ === Flipping the Bird === [[Image:Crimson Rosellas.jpg|right|240px]] There's a couple of [[w:Crimson Rosella|Crimson Rosellas]] outside my window. It's around noon here in Canberra and I've enticed them down with some sunflower seeds. I also get Eastern Rosellas, Cockatoos and Galahs, among others. A [[w:Galah#Australian slang term|galah]] showed up on Wikimania about an hour ago, replacing various pages with an offensive image and text. Anyone who's been around WP for a while will recognise the trademarks of the GNAA vandal. I reverted as fast as I could, but he was gettinga way from me. Fewer keystrokes required to paste in his text, you see, and he didn't have to go through that validation routine if there were hyperlinks in the page text, as there usually was. Luckily there were a few folk lounging around on the IRC channel, and after a bit we managed to trim him back. He gave up, maybe he'll return in the dead of night, but it's daylight for a long while yet here. Anyway, check the history of some of the [http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=HerbfromShipping pages] for an idea of what was going on. Gotta wonder about some people... Anyway, almost as soon as I posted my last entry, noting that archives and transcripts weren't appearing, they started to do so in greater numbers. Obviously Wikimania was coming alive and attendees flipping open their laptops with their morning coffee. I tuned in on a live feed, enjoying a couple of presentations. The session I was particularly interested in (at least of those I could access via the video stream, anyway) turned out to be a bit of a disappointment. The presenter was talking about on-line communities and I wanted to hear what she had to say about WP, which I regard as well worth a study. As the psychiatrist said about Basil Fawlty, "There’s enough material here for an entire conference!". Unfortunately, she'd only spent enough time on the site to be able to spot a few of the "touchy-feely" areas, such as the Village Pump. An indepth analysis of the peculiar behaviour to be found on WP awaits a later event. In the meantime, there's another episode of the galah to be dealt with. ***SIGH*** --Skyring 3290 9099 2006-08-06T02:56:23Z Skyring 615 Some birds outside my window. a spot of fill-in flash to bring up the colours.

The antisocial nerd that I am, had I not googled up the MIT Museum website and found out that they rent out full access to the museum to host special events, I wouldn’t have gone. I went there purely for the museum artifacts—and to touch them, as I might not have been able to during the daytime surveillance. However, the Web 1.0 VC gathering turned out to be a surprise blast. I heard vaguely about the Web 1.0 theme, and I had expected a bunch of people attempting to relive the “glory” (in the derogatory sense) of the “old days,” where basically all .COM’s were guaranteed funding (which is no longer the case now, alas). That was actually the case, except I’d expected serious presentations of old ideas. So, dressed in the 3/4 sleeves of the Web 1.0 era, I’d planned on giving a brief spiel of my old MetastaXis—if the economy hadn’t changed in 2000, this would have been the second company I’d be founder of in high school, and the first multimillion dollar company I could have started in high school. (These were different days, and I was a teenager in California—back then, every other Cal teen ran a web dev company.) The problem was that our angel died, as apparently all its other investments crashed and they went into paranoia halt-all mode, etc., etc. But anyway, the Web 1.0 theme at the party was more a parody than regretful reminiscence. People went full out wild and crazy with their wacked out ideas, and had there been more time, I would have given the following spiel: ::Me: (Hands the VC’s NDA’s; in an affected Pakistani-accent:) Please sign these NDA’s. I cannot start until you assure me of your omerta—it is the wish of my godfather. You must sign the NDA, or my godfather, the good Don, will… make an offer you can’t refuse. ::Me: (heavily affected Pakistani-accent; like Abu in The Simpsons) My name is Priya Varicatena, and although I look Chinese, I’m actually Pakistani. I am associate professor of quantum bioengineering at Stanford University, and this is my colleague (points to an invisible presence next to me) Dr. Adrian Grey. Adrian is a transparent clairvoyant—he’s invisible and he sees the future. The history of my lab, as you may know, is filled with success after success—with no intermittent failure. Adrian’s foresight has ensured us this fortuity. My lab’s findings have been a tremendous source of funding ''for'' Stanford, and only a fraction of our capital has made Stanford the richest university in the world. I own Stanford University. ::Me: (heavy Pakistani accent) It is 1998, but we see the year 2020 with absolute clarity. There is something called Internet 5.0, and it is very good. It interconnects the multiverses, so that you can email or even instant message your parallel universe self to discover “what could have been.” ::Me: We call our project Multiversality, and the goal is to bring Internet 5.0, the multiverse, to the present reality. We have gone far on the project, and we now only need funding for globalization. Adrian has transcribed from his clairvoyances the technical details of the Internet 5.0 infrastructures, and I have simulated a local incarnation via the molecular computer ADA-42. (Hands the VC’s an invisible box.) Here is a working model that has access to the four adjacent quasi-layers of the multiverse. You may try it. You can ask your “possible potential self” in another parallel universe a question. ::Me: (Affected Pakistani accent) You may wonder why I’m appealing to you—or why I am betraying Stanford. You see, it is really a very big matter. Stanford—the bastardic llama goat!—is refusing me tenure. Perhaps they believe this is a strategic move of theirs—perhaps they believe I will stop producing these revolutionary results once tenured. But, whatever, with your support, I will no longer need them. You see, this project will make all of us richer than Vishnu—this is the future, available now. I, the Pakistani, give you Multiversality! Except some of the punchlines in there might be too obscurely academic, (quantum bioengineering being a discipline is a joke, currently, at least, btw). I decided to be Pakistani for a while since I get inspired into whole spiel based on my first thought of the last line. Having a punny name like Priya Varicatena for this fake business presentation was also a necessity. Oh, and I also got to meet Dr. S. Wolfram---he was one of the fake VC's! His response to my Fredkin question proves my original assumption, and in a way, justifies the criticism against him. I probably would have gone crazy and asked for a signed photograph otherwise. (Then again, I should have done that just to resell to Mathematica-fanatical friends.) 3306 9170 2006-08-06T11:44:46Z Dedalus 649 GFDL Content is available under the [http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License]. 3310 9283 2006-08-06T17:28:43Z Sheldon Rampton 553 < [[Proceedings:MK2]] Mitch Kapor (Level Playing Foundation, Chair of Linden Labs Advisory Board) History of being in early on disruptive technologies--PC, Commercial Internet, Streaming Media, Virtual Worlds, Social Production (Yochai's phrase) Enormous implications that go far beyond original uses. Evangelizing Wikipedia--non-profit organizations, getting them to use their intellectual capital up on wikipedia, Adoption by non-technical people. Wikipedia as a version of a koan, that tests the users perceptions and assumptions: in order to have valuable info, need someone in charge Don't need centralized control or expert authority to create useful knowledge. Blogs tend to reenforce the prexisting ideologies. But wikis, as fundamentally collaborative, shape synergistically. Blogs are the talk radio of the Internet -- a bunch of different voices screaming instead of collective organization and deliberation. What are the traits of a site that works to change politics as usual? It should be participatory. It should have the wiki process (you can see the full revision history of any change) applied to the product (you can see the political history of any user). Any movement for democratic reform has to be the thing it is trying to bring about. It should be done through citizens of equal standing, not experts. Just as Wikipedia isn't just Britannica online, this new movement would be on a different plane from politics as usual. (Perhaps they're might even be new tools to protect against unfair arguments (hiding information, cherrypicking, illogic).) Most audiences I speak to would consider this absurd -- but that's the case with any new technology. There are no easy solutions: just putting things on a wiki won't change the world through the power of technology. What does this movement stand for? What does it believe in? This is a work in progress; we have much more to learn. But there is much more work to be done. The Secret Sauce is not the technology, it is the ccommunity bound together by sharred principles and practices. Linguistic Inclusion--in the early years, LOTR articles outnumbered those on Africa. Make active efforts to recruit editors who represnt different areas of knowledge and different points of view. Inclusion: broadly speaking, wikipedia will be molre inclusive as the means of editing it have lower barriers to non-technical people. Make it a major stretegi cpriority for the community. This may be painful but it will allow the project to epxand and grow. POLITICS: *Politics as usual is broken. (in US, but also in places like UK) *What is the problem? Partisanship, negativity. Ordinary people feel disempowered. But a third party is a non-starter. Politics dominated by money, special interests and sound bites. Democracy, as a great experiment in self-governance, is at risk. Wikipedia is a proof of the power of decentralized, self-governing community to make an impact. KEY ATTRIBUTES OF THE WIKIPEDIA COMMUNITY *Participatory *Product and Process intertwined *Aspiration to high standard of respectful dialog. (unlike the current blogosphere) *Citizens of equal staure with experts Any movement for democratic reform would have to operate via the values it seeks to achieve in the larger society. And the wiki community does this. This would be a bold thing for a political movement. Is this absurd? Politics shuns facts and does not practice succesful collaboration. A new political movement would have to act on a different plane through active demonstration of a different model. We need tools and software that help us argue better. Tools for on-line argumentation. A fair argument is very central. No hidden info, or incorrect info, and corrections etc. Constructive disagreement to reach conclusions to expedite this process. The other big piece of this political movement is: what does it stand for? People need to come together around common values. 3311 9194 2006-08-06T13:54:21Z Raines 572 populated initial video link [http://blip.tv/file/57751 QuickTime (via blip.tv)] 3312 9984 2006-08-11T19:27:49Z JakobVoss 172 cannot view this [http://blip.tv/file/57750 QuickTime (via blip.tv)] :I cannot view this because of Flash/Quicktime software problems :-( We need it in a free video format. -- [[User:JakobVoss|JakobVoss]] 19:27, 11 August 2006 (UTC) 3313 9885 2006-08-10T19:04:43Z Sebmol 705 /* Solutions */ typos < [[Proceedings:FD1]] Last Wikimania I didn't want to talk about the board, but this time I think it's appropriate. We might have as many as four new board members by the end of the year. == Timeline == Started as Wikipedia.com by Bomis, Larry Sanger as first paid employee. Spanish community forked early because they were worried about ads being put on the website. Servers moved to 3 dedicated servers and shifted from Jason to Brion. Wales created an organization to collect money from supporters and own the servers. Wales created WMF with three board members appointed (Michael, Tim Shell, and Jimmy) but Jimmy was sitll the one running the organization. At the end of year 2 or 3, there was the Great Crash (Brion's term) -- 2/3 servers broke down. We realized we needed to be more careful and started emergency fundraising, raising $31K. Kurt (president of the German chapter) raised the trademark issue. June 2004: The first board was created. Tim and Michael "didn't do anything special" on the board -- mostly Jimbo, Angela, and Anthere. Made decisions on IRC with no paperwork or notes. Just talked together and agreed. But six months later we couldn't remember what we'd decided. A year ago Wikimania happened. Jimbo became more and more famous and became to busy for him to do his job, people kept waiting on him. Michael, the treasurer, started looking at the accounting and realized that the org was serious but the accounting was a joke. We tried to figure out how to organize things better. Brad came in the story and started explaining how we could organize ourselves. No one on the board has ever been on the board of a foundation before. We got nonprofit status and did some revolutionary things: starting the resolution and committee system. We hired Brad as interim executive director. == Organization == Board of Trustees: 5 people. Staff: 5 people. Tim, Brion, Danny (Assistant Grant Manager), Brad, Suzy (phone, etc.). A shockingly small staff for a big site. Committees: Staffed by volunteers, some board members, some staff members. Supposed to handle themselves. Half of the committees are active, half have failed. OTRS: The email system which is answered by many. Chapters: other countries [??] Committees: Don't replace the community, but expand the board. 5 people cannot handle everything. They may be delegated from the board (technical committee decides what servers to buy). == Workings == Resolutions: Someone (board, committee, community) writes a statement. For example, the technical people may say "we need to purchase such-and-such as server". If two people agree it's valuable, then it gets voted on. Once there's a motion to vote, we vote at the bottom of the system. Originally we needed five signatures, which was a disaster. So now it only requires the approval of three, but even this is hard (more later). Mission: The bylaws do not have DVDs or any details in the mission statement. The local chapters have it in common. But this does not work for fundraising, because it's not "funny" (inspiring?). The people working on the project have much larger goals. Mine: distribution of content to every person on Earth. Others include fighting proprietary software, fighting patents and copyright, and it varies through the chapters. To sum it up: "We make the Internet not suck." What would the ideal board look like? Set a misison, vision, values, but also strategies, policies (many current board members want to change English Wikipedia polices...ummm....), accountability, responsibility, fiscal overview (Michael), appointing the executive director (Brad), and informing people about the organization (Anthere). Daily life: Appearing, voting, and hopefully serving on committees. == Good governance == What's the ideal board member? It needs to see the big picture, be expert on some topics (Michael on finance, Jimbo on PR). Without a good picture, they cannot make a good decision. If we get too many people on the board who do not get the picture, we'll get a big mess. If people don't know about our history (like the Spanish fork from advertising) they will make the wrong decisions. The community is international and run by volunteers (who will not always follow you). The organization does not always own the content. They also need to be well-informed. Perhaps they won't have their nose in all the details, but they must have the basics on everything that's important -- like whether our servers are hosted by Yahoo. Until yesterday, we had one meeting all year -- in January. The second was yesterday. I don't think it's good to run an organization on twice-a-year meetings. We decided to set up an advisory board to help us. Perhaps outsiders can make the meetings more interested. Perhaps we can get help from professionals if we can't manage to organize ourselves. Perhaps we can watch other organizations. And we need reporting from the committees. A third level, perhaps the most touchy, is the interpersonal level. No one person on the board should be very different from the others in terms of how the outside world perceives them, we don't want one personality to dominate the board. But that's what happening -- only some people on the board have the time and others are missing. So we have less and less meetings. Last year, every month, now twice a year. What next year? We need to discuss the resolutions before we vote. But since we don't discuss, nobody votes, and we get nowhere. Few resolutions are proposed, fewer over time. Some people vote on resolutions (Angela, Anthere, sometimes Michael, rarely Jimbo, never Tim). But decisions don't get passed and don't happen. We get frustrated, the community gets frustrated. Finally, some have info and others don't. == Solutions == Expand the board, but not with people who just show up. Set up term limits for members -- we currently have 3 members with unlimited time. Is it normal to have outsiders with appointments for life? We can have the advisory board, hire CEOs, set up committees, vote on policies, and most importantly, share the workload and focus on what one is good at. A fourth dimension is the political: develop a good relationship with the board, the staff, the chapters, the community. Right now the relation between the foundation and the chapters have a problem. The chapters are not affiliates of the foundation, but instead are more independent. Right now the brands are owned by the foundation, we need to license them to the chapters. The German chapter made a DVD two years ago. Nobody knows about this. Why? Because they were active and found a publisher. We cannot let the organization become the bottleneck. It needs to be much flatter. One problem is competition in terms of money. Maybe the German chapter needs to give some money back, but we shouldn't block the chapter. Why chapters? Brad can go to the Library of Congress in DC, that makes sense. But imagine him at the Library of Congress in Germany! That's the job for the local people. We need the ability to step back a little. we don't have an agenda, we have a lack of transparency, and I hope the new board members can help. Committees: Big problem was that they didn't know their job. The idea was that they could share some of the workload of the foundation. The board is currently voting on buying servers -- that's like voting to buy pens. We need to separate the board from the executive. Additional issues to think about: The projects we support are all projects supported alone by the Wikimedia Foundation, we don't support other projects and we don't share projects with other organizations. "That's something I think we should go on with." Look at WiktionaryZ, recently approved, and it's already being taken care of by other organizations and we never thought of partnering them and I think this is a point of study. We never think about how the organization should proceed -- should the board control DVD production or just help the English Wikipedia. One possibility: Create a business-like foundation that does things themselves. Another: Let the community handle it -- more messy, but more open. We need more international people on the Foundation. Final words: Thanks to Angela. These are pictures of three people, they are just simple editors. The first editor in France, a teacher who was fanatical in India (who passed away a few months ago from Cancer), and an ecologist who loved hanggliding and disappeared six weeks ago. There are many others who have contributed and left us and I just want to give a special thought to them as we talk about these issues of foundation and organization, but the people who make it possible are people like these, even if they are no longer with us. 3315 9211 2006-08-06T14:31:35Z Raines 572 populated initial video link [http://blip.tv/file/57749 QuickTime] via blip.tv 3317 9654 2006-08-07T18:36:41Z 140.247.248.135 ===Memorable quotes from Conference day #3=== "Garbage!

I check the recent changes there regularly, but I find it a bit hard to respond or edit, since I cannot type in Hebrew. Today I read another of those Village Pomp's discussion (''Miznon'' in Hebrew), in which one of the Wikipedians cries: "We are not good enough, let us kill ourself before we get humiliated in public". Well, let's get things straight: #We are not good enough. #We are good. #There is nothing too bad of being humiliated if it happens in the course of doing good. #Killing ourself (i.e. stranding the Hebrew Wikipedia) is not an option. This is not what you would call in Hebrew "motivation talk" (''sikhat motivatsya''), i.e. the kind of talk a general gives to his soldiers before sending them to battle. This is really the case. Wikipedia is something different. It is a different concept of exchanging knowledge and knowledge distribution, and we'd better start thinking differently, because it just might be considerably better than what we have had so far. It is really not my nature to preach, quite the contrary - I tend to be overcritical, but one thing I cannot stand - it is people whose thinking is so rigid, that they wouldn't recognize a basket of goodies had it been served to them in a plastic bag. I see those repeated complaints about not having enough contributors from academic staffs, and complaints about having too many articles describing soap opera stars, and all this is actually beside the point. People can decide to read and write only materials which comply with academic standards, people can decide to read only about important issues, but they cannot expect Wikipedia to conform with these criteria. Had it been the case, Wikipedia would have been useless. People who regard academic standards as the only standards for knowledge distribution, can indeed do without Wikipedia, but I think they are the minority. People who think they cannot live with articles about less-important or unimportant issues (even though nobody forces them to actually read them) should indeed refrain from using Wikipedia. Perhaps it is the term Encyclopedia that confuses people. There is this famous saying about the Holy Roman Empire - "not holy, not roman, not an empire" (indeed it was a loose union of German countries during the Middle Ages). Wikipedia, "the free Wikipedia" is not entirely free and not an encyclopedia in the sense we've been used to. There are rules for writing and editing, but they are different from the academic rules, because they are meant to serve a different purpose. It is not encyclopedia in the sense that you cannot cite it as an authoritative reference book. Any piece of information in Wikipedia must be verified and cited with regard to its original source. Actually one should do the same with any piece of information, but the good thing about Wikipedia is that it forces you to do it, simply because it is not meant to be an authority. 3319 9239 2006-08-06T15:16:15Z Dedalus 649 some transcript material Welcome, daily announcements and overview (Ropes Gray) Break Mitch Kapor: I'd Like to Have an Argument: Inspiration from the Wikipedia about Collaborative Advocacy and Politics Hobbit v.

A: (Jimmy) Choose wisely. Q: The foundation charter is showing its age. Going to revisit it? A: Yes. We're having a Board planning retreat. Q: What about Africa and the African languages? A: (Jimmy) Thoughtful, slow steps. Talking with people on the ground there. Q: What do you do about potential board members who can't afford the travel, etc.? Pay them? A: We'd cover travel, but this is not a paying position. Q: Why is Angela leaving the board? She says it's become less collaborative. How? A: (Angela) E.g., we vote on a wiki rather than having discussions. Q: What is the real scope of Wikimedia? "Access to all the world's knowledge" is too broad and "Build an encyclopedia" is too small... A: (Jimmy) Big question. Look at operationally at we're doing. [But what guides decisions about what projects to undertake?] Q: Upcoming conflict between validating by experts and celebrating the read-write culture. Should the board push a strategy or let it be settled by the community? A: (Jimmy) The conflict between quality and openness is an illusion. It comes about when our tools won't let us achieve what we want to. E.g., the stable version will remove almost all the need for semi-protection; we can leave the pages open while ensuring the public sees quality pages. The board shouldn't get involved in deciding detailed questions such as "What counts as a personal attack?" Q: Most of us respect the neutral point of view while understanding there's no such thing as a neutral point of view. Maybe it'd be better to talk about respectful points of view? A: (Jimmy) One of the great things about NPOV is that it's a term of art and the community fills it with meaning. It has been filled with the notion of respect. You should propose this on a mailing list... Q: Will social sharing ever be more powerful than money? Can the Board start the campaign? A: (Brad) People are more powerful than money or social sharing. Q: We don't know much about the finances... A: (Jimmy) They're looking good. The audit process is underway. A: (Michael) For the first time, we've had a steady stream of donations from the "Please help" button. We're not as constrained as we used to be. We have a bit of a buffer in the bank, about $500K. Small donations are coming in at about $30K/month. We're getting more donations from corporate sponsors as well. we';ve tried to be very cautious with what we say in the press... don't want to lose face or make it seem like a fight<br> but theyn we don't want to look as though we're not doing anything.<br> in 2-3 weeks time, we shouldr eally forge a plan coming from the zh commuinty to ive us guidance re: what we should do<br> [q from irc]<br> [mark ryan]<br> how can th eocmuinty be reassured that the elected representagives actually represent the poeople who elected them, and are involved in decisions that the board makes<br> jw : traditionally , that's been the furtherst fomr the prolbems we've had.<br> in the last year, michael has really come onin terms of being ative behind the scenes w/ legal, fin, all that kind of stuff. in the early days, we were more or less a small project, ang and ant with my assistance<br> ran the place, right, and made all the big decisions.l<br> the q of how we can be sure teelcted board members are active, engaged and making decisiosn, is : choose very wisely in selecting members<br> 'i think one thing to emphasize re: board eletions : it is not about community issyues in en:wp, not about changing the 3rr.<br> people here at this conf are advnaced wpans that understand this, but we need to counicate this out tho the community; the board is about responsibility for te stragtegic future, legal, fin of the orgaanization;<br> making sure the trains run on time. we need to choose professional, thoughtufl people, deeply knowledgable about the community, people woh can work well with others, have deep talents<br> if we cohose wisely, we'll have fantastic pboard membesr; if we choose poorly, we'll have people drift away from the project... whoich would be unforutnate.<br> alih : if you were here earlier for anthere's talk, q's from that presentation are also relevant yere, and you can aswk them.<br> mark p [raul654] :<br> the foundation charter says taht <br> ant : did you look at my presentation? the answer is there.<br> alih : can you give a quick summary?<br> ant : brad helped draft new bylaws; there are parts that are not satisfactory, but there's nobody to discuss it.

But, I’m too lazy and unprepared-with-poncho to go back to close my window—which had been my room’s only source of quasi-salvation from the 100+ degree F heat for the last few days.) Wikimania started with a somewhat incoherent speech from a stammering S.J.. The Jimbo Wales plenary followed afterwards. With good humor and a bit of bravery, Wales started his talk with the showing of a Colbert Report video clip denouncing the “truthiness” of a crowdsourced encyclopedia. The new word, according to Colbert, is “wikiality,” a reality you can create—if enough people believe in the same thing. Despite the fact that Colbert’s clip is, as always, mostly carefully-edited punchlines that sum up to a bunch of laugh, low on content, Colbert does have a point; knowledge, especially scientific knowledge, has always been possibly incorrect orthodox vs. possibly correct hereticalism. Recall Galileo and his then radical proposition that the solar system was heliocentric, rather than geocentric; back then, though this idea was already backed by facts, virtually no one believed him, and he was denounced by the “scientific authority” of the time, i.e., the Catholic church. Similarly, nowadays, although the view of seeing the universe as a bunch of parallel universes, viz., multiverses, is indirectly backed by implications from quantum computing, this view is not widely accepted among physicists. In fact, not even all quantum computing in-groupers believe in this. This view is a modern version of an unorthodox view, yet in many respects, this multiverse theory is one of the best ways to make sense of reality (c.f. T. Kuhn, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions). The point is that despite the triteness of Colburn’s words, he’s right about common knowledge sometimes being wrong, but believed right, by virtue of the numbers who believe in it. However, Wales stopped the clip right after Colbert defined “wikiality,” leaving out Colbert’s reference to Galileo. Interestingly, he also did not bother to show those present who haven’t seen the full clip that Colbert actually directly invited (gasps) open vandalism for humanitarian means—starting with the entry on African elephants. (The idea is that the world is messed up, but if enough people believe that it isn’t, we’d create a “better” wikiality that’d supercede our current dystopia.) (Incidentally, I initially found this particular Colbert clip on Wired’s Monkey Bites [http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/index.blog?entry_id=1531623 blog entry]. Today, a Wired reporter present at the event has posted an [http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,71535-0.html?tw=wn_technology_1 article] that, in part, atones for that particular blog entry.) Wales announced that Wikimedia is now hiring a group of paid individuals, somewhat like a company now; he also introduced WM’s eight-month old official lawyer. He’s hoping to gather an advisory board or whatever of famous people to help affirm WM (I’d be vague on this, since I need to stay out of wikipolitics for ‘’’your’’’ own good). Wikipedia’s goal now, according to Wales, is quality, not quantity—it’s time to edit the million of entries. He went through some of the 10 impossible things from last year, then thanked the sponsors. Afterwards, the gathering of several hundred attendees broke up into their respective program tracks. Each track had its own pull of intrigue, as do all presentations with vague abstracts. While each attendee was given a schedule, we were not given a copy of the abstracts. Because of this, some attendees chose their lectures based solely on name, and only those who had access to the Internet could pull up the respective abstracts. For the morning session, I went to the Barcamp/Semapedia Workshop. [http://www.barcamp.org Barcamp] is an online in-person [w:unconference] planning system based on [http://pbwiki.com/about/ pbwiki], a free password-protected wiki solution. Barcamp meetings are ad hoc and informal. The emphasis is on the second bit, since Bar Camp’s “[http://barcamp.org/TheRulesOfBarCamp Rules],” which help make each barcamp gathering a timely matter, tend to favor the theme of chaos. . I was particularly interested in how the organization started, particularly the funding bit. The [http://factoryjoe.com barcamp guy] got lucky—the timing was right. He got his first sponsor in the era of the advent of google’s dominion metastasis, when, for a brief period, funding for such things might have been as easy as it was in the early days of Web 2.0 (pre-2000); and, as always, after one money guy joins the club, the rest spill in. Group think. Also mentioned was a similar idea called TeqUps, which is like barcamp, except it seems to be a local gathering of people interested in tech. MashupCamp, a gathering of those into ajax-ly MashUp’s and the like, was also mentioned. [http://semapedia.com Semapedia] turned out to be one of those interesting commodities that are essentially useless, but cool—it’s a bit like having a pencil with both its tip and eraser on one end: convenient, but we’re not that lazy yet... Through a unique symbol-based barcode called [http://semacode.org/ Semacode], Semapedia.com uniquely creates a one-to-one relation between the barcode and a Wikipedia article. Using the software from Semapedia, this code can be scanned up by a photo-capable cell phone to load its corresponding Wikipedia page on the same Internet-capable cell phone. This has been used in Japan for advertisements, e.g., a poster about orange juice might have a Semapedia symbol on it, so that anyone interested in finding out more about orange juice can, with the click of a phone-camera-button, find out more about it through its corresponding Wikipedia page. Semapedia is essentially dependent on Wikipedia’s accuracy. Semacode, which was something I’d only heard of but didn’t get to know before this, however, seems to have some interesting applications in the arena of quas-digital gaming. One example, off the top of my head: Suppose you have a physical world scavenger hunt. The various items are hidden in a certain part of the city, for example, and they’re tagged with semacodes. As ultimate proof that they’ve found a particular item, the scavengers can just scan up the find, perhaps using a variant of the Semacode DataMatrix software. Also, maybe semacodes can be used in a form of “laser-tag” (technically, cell-phone-camera tag). Players merely place semacode stickers on their bodies to get tagged. Unlike the Lightning Talks at Hacking Days, the Lightning Talks at the Mania session turned out to be a verbal message board, where basically anything and anyone goes—though each talk was strictly limited by the five-minute time set by a monitor (déjà vu: student presentations for a course.) No use of mike, so in order to hear anything, you had to crowd close to hear the speaker. Many of the talks were really just announcements, and the Chinese Firewall talk turned out to be as censored as if the talk were bound by some airborne version of the same firewall. I attempted to do my usual lecture hopping, anyway, except, I hopped out too late to catch the Diplopedia talk. 3356 10058 2006-08-14T13:31:23Z Tlogmer 8 rv blanking === Winding up === We had visitors yesterday afternoon, and we took the heater off its normal timings and set it to the thermostat so we'd feel warm and comfortable as we took our tea and bikkies. Winter here in Canberra, you know. So I woke up in bed later on as the heater comes on - the fan unit is located just outside the bedroom - and I'm feeling a bit groggy, thinking, wow, I must have slept through the night and it's six in the morning already. But the clock beside me said 0130 and after a bit of trying to reconcile my dream and real-life experiences, I realised that I was going to have to get up to switch the heater back to the timer, so I might as well see what was happening with Wikimania. I caught the last segment of the board meeting on the video stream, made myself a stovetop espresso, opened up the IRC window and just sort of hung out. After a while it was time for one of my regular Monday morning activities, BBC Radio Shropshire's Sunday night rock show, and I tuned in to the internet stream. This is a regular favorite with the BookCrossing.com community, and we all hang out on the site's "Chit-Chat" forum, so I opened that up as well. And there I was, monitoring a video stream from the U.S. on one computer, an audio stream from the UK (via my Skype headset) on the other, a couple of chat windows open, and my normal flow of email proceeding merrily. Another reason why I have more than the usual feel for timezones around the world, I guess. One of the after lunch sessions was on Africa, and while some of the other sessions sounded more interesting, this one seemed pretty important to me. The camera didn't show how many people were listening in the room itself, but I got the idea from something the presenter said that it wasn't a real lot. Never mind, I was listening online, and I dare say there were enough of us to fill the auditorium. What I know of African languages is sketchy indeed, and my knowledge of African access to the internet largely revolves around whatever scams the clever but unschooled folk in Nigeria are trying to hit me with (I loved the one about the [http://www.scamorama.com/space.html Nigerian astronaut], left alone on some Soviet space station since the 1980s and his back pay now amounts to zillions of dollars, just sitting in a bank account...), but anyway it seems to me that middle class kids in Los Angeles are one thing, but when the kids living in grass huts deep in Botswana (or whatever) are able to get online, that'll really be something. Will they want to talk about Star Trek and British steam engines of the 1930s, or will they have other interests. What can we learn from them about global warming and individual freedoms? When you get right down to it, we're all in this together, and there are any number of things we should be thinking about on a global basis. Not necessarily the thoughts of millionaire UN ambassadors, neither. So that was interesting for me, and I'm grateful for learning a bit about things in Africa. The next session was about visualising information, something I have an especial interest in, having long been a fan of maps and charts of all types. Minard's famous [http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~jrubarth/gslis/lis385t.16/Napoleon/ graphical chart] of Napoleon's Moscow campaign stands out strongly in my mind. With computers we have any number of ways to assemble information into a form where it is easy to spot patterns. Or breaks in patterns. Speedier identification of persistent vandals, articles that may need work, community trends; find the key variables and a way to present them, and the human eye can grasp what's going on. An example is the timestamps attached to every WP contribution. Sure, they are all available in User Contributions, but it's hard to gain a feel for them. The Editcount tool graphs them by time of day and time of week, and at a glance you can see who is spending their time at work editing Wikipedia. Anyway, that was more fun, and about then I began to pay more attention to the IRC channel as preparations for the final session began, Wikimaniacs assembling in various degrees of geekitude and apparent disorder. Jtkiefer showed up: * Jtkiefer is cursing at the media stream that's not working <Skyring> Quit and restart it <Skyring> might need a few goes <Jtkiefer> wow Skyring, that's a nick I haven't seen in a long time How many remember me, I wonder? A year is a long time on WP. See my [[w:User_talk:Skyring#May_I_humbly_request...|talk page]]. By this time the rock show on the BBC had ended and Genevieve Tudor's folk program just wasn't keeping me occupied. I'd had breakfast and dawn was fast approaching. My attention was on spotting the various wikidenties as they fiddled with microphones and displayed a kind of Brownian motion. sj finally kicked off things and I wondered how such a slight frame could accommodate such a booming voice. He ran us through the various text and media awards, along with a noticable interruption to the feed when the best media clip was announced and untold thousands of people decided to download the file all at once. Jimbo came on, thanked various people, and really it was pretty much backslapping all round from that point on. Well deserved, I thought. Organising something like this and making it go well cannot be easy. A lot of thought and a lot of effort is involved. This is the positive side of the wikipedia community, and despite all the squabbles and arguments and edit wars, when you take a step back and look at what has been achieved, it's an amazing thing. So, as Wikimania comes to an end and the attendees disperse to hotels and cars and planes, I'd like to add my own voice of thanks to the organisers, the attendees and to the community in general. It's been a hoot! I also see, from various corners of the wikisphere, that next year's Wikimania is being planned already, despite the lack of a host city. Who knows, maybe I'll attend in person. Now, I'm off to the [[Archives]] to catch up with some of the sessions I missed. 3357 9473 2006-08-07T00:15:19Z EricaG 502 Berkman Center logo Berkman Center logo 3358 9476 2006-08-07T00:17:52Z EricaG 502 Berkman Center Logo Berkman Center Logo 3360 9827 2006-08-09T14:05:55Z A12n 550 /* "AfrophoneWikis" Yahoogroup */ In the runup to the talks by [http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proceedings:MB1 Martin Benjamin] and [http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proceedings:KS2 Kasper Souren] on African languages and Wikipedia today (6 August) I communicated with them and several others (Ndesanjo Macha, Paa Kewsi Imbeah, John Hutchison) about a possible framework to encourage and help provide an overview (not "oversee"[!], but a perspective of larger parts of the whole) of the development of Wikipedias in African languages. I used the tern "task force" which, although it has a positive use and meaning in the realm of organizing efforts, might seem too hierarchical or centralizing in purpose and ambition. The term and the concept are of course open to discussion, and indeed need discussion. And for the sake of the discussion I will post here what I see as the role of such a working group / "task force" / association / assemblage. Hope it's okay that I "shout out" some of what folks are doing in the notes.[[User:A12n|A12n]] == Informal proposal == My thought is that some sort of informal task force could communicate about African language Wikipedias among ourselves and on Wikipedia itself. Purposes of such a group could be: # Promoting of the concept of developing Wikipedias *in* African languages via individual contacts, talks, blogs, other dissemination. # Supporting the development and refinement of existing Wikipedias in African languages. This would require some individual contacts and publicizing. Since the number of these is defined and finite, we could split them up for our own contact or to find others to work on. It would be a shame to have Wikipedias closed for the languages there. Most of them are significant languages./1 # Supporting the formation of groups to initiate new African language Wikipedias. Here too individual contacts and networking could aid the process. There are people who could contribute and gradually more of them have access. # Discussing frameworks to organize Wikipedias in closely related African languages, to minimize duplication of effort, leverage skills and content to widest benefit, harmonize presentations for the benefit of users./2 # Developing strategies in communication & collaboration with organizations like ACALAN, national applied linguistics agencies, diverse organizations promoting education and/or development in Africa, ICT4D projects, and African language teachers associations in Africa and abroad./3 # Discussing Africa-specific approaches that may be new to Wikipedia(?). These may include consideration of, for instance, ## Socioeconomic issues: How in societies with low average income and other pressing concerns to facilitate individuals contributing to Wikipedia in African languages? /4 ## Educational dimension: Can advanced language classes be involved in content development?/5 ## Technical factors: Ways of converting among dialects/orthographies/scripts where needed and possible./6 # Bringing in experience from other online efforts like Kamusi into the discussions. Notes (providing more detail and examples): (1) The representation for some of the major languages of the continent is embarassing. (Swahili is by far the best represented apart from Arabic and Afrikaans.) But many of the others on the current list of Wikipedias are still significant languages. Take Ewe for instance (I used to live in southern Togo): Ewe has about as many speakers as Lithuanian (~3 million, a factoid I looked up when noticing that conferences in Lithuania have Lithuanian as one of the official languages, while a conference *about the Ewe* and neighboring peoples evidently was English & French only), but virtually no Wikipedia presence while Lithuanian has over 20,000 articles with the number growing quickly. There are a lot of reasons for this - income, politics, border, written/oral traditions, and different colonial/occupation histories - but not 4 orders of magnitude worth! Ewe has been written for at least a century. Anyway there are other examples. (2) This is a sticky issue in some cases. I don't pretend that any of us or an informal group of us and others can solve the issues, which are often sort of specific for particular situations. However it is helpful to keep an eye out and help the discussions as they develop. (3) This is neither to become a bureaucracy nor turn the Afrophone Wikipedia into one. But rather to recognize that in principle, and hopefully in practice, such organizations can help the movement in one way or another. Conversely, it does not pay to forget them. (4) One example comes from separate correspondence with Paa Kwesi and Kasper. Paa Kwesi was recently looking at how young people need income and could be paid by Ghanaian expatriates to translate/develop content in Akan specific to the culture and history. As it turns out, Kasper experimented with systems to compensate writers/translators of content in Bambara. Such ideas and experience could be collated and disseminated for for further experiments. I do think that finding strategies to compensate Africans to develop and enhance Wikipedia content could be very positive for a lot of reasons, but it probably needs to be thought through. (5) There is increasing interest generally in how to best use Wikipedia for academic classes. This includes solutions that involve the classes, and student work, in improving Wikipedia entries. In the area of African language classes in and outside of Africa, this could be a way of increasing quality content in many languages. Ndesanjo has suggested ways to work with Swahili classes to increase the number of Swahili Wikipedia entries. Similarly Kasper mentioned his bringing this up with classes teaching Bambara language. Note that while African languages are not widely taught outside of Africa, there is still a significant and growing interest in at least a number of these languages, and the students who are getting to an advanced level have access to a lot of information as well as the technology - under guidance of instructors and as part of their language learning, they could contribute significantly especially at this time. (6) For dialects it may be tricky but 10 years ago there were already "computer assisted dialect adjustment" (CADA) in use and I'm sure that with the advances in machine-translation technology this sort of thing is much better now. Toggling between orthographies shouldn't be too much problem - it was over 10 years ago that I first saw such for Chinese simplified/traditional in pre-Windows word processors. For changing between scripts (Latin/N'ko, Latin/Ajami(Arabic), Ethiopic/Latin [for Oromo?], Tifinagh/Arabic/Latin for Berber languages) that's another matter, but we can ride that wave when it comes. == "AfrophoneWikis" Yahoogroup == Martin Benjamin and I set up a new list on 7 August 2006 as a way to facilitate and expand dialogue on this topic. It's at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/afrophonewikis/ This may seem an unusual decision - but we can carry on discussion and work across media with the focus on developing African language Wikipedias. Yahoogroups is a medium that I personally have the impression of being familiar to many African internet users (seen this in English and French Yahoospaces). In any event it, and e-mail lists generally, are certainly much more familiar at this time to the average African internet user than Wikipedia. So we leverage that. There will be crosslinks of course. [[User:A12n|A12n]] 3361 9508 2006-08-07T05:00:39Z Sheldon Rampton 553 David Weinberger--Harvard Berkman Center http://www.hyperorg.com/blogger/ Send up on Lessig. Hilarious! What's happening to knowledge? NPOV--what constitutes neutrality? Traditional Properties of Knowledge. 1-Knower, Known and Knowledge--place where mind and thing met. 2-Knowledge is singular. Only one. 3-Knowledge is binary--it is true or false. 4-Doesn't mater who said it. 5-Knowledge is simpler than the world it explains. 6-Most things are not knowledge. Need experts to arbitrate. 7--Knowledge is orderly. Everything has its place--hierarchy of knowledge. 8--assume that knowledge is bigger than all of us. Transgenerational. Properties are similar or same to properties of the real world. Means we have had for aggregating knowledge are physical objects, like those in the natural world. Knowledge in our heads. It is not, according to Weinberger. Let's say you go down the street to the Harvard Museum. You find a lot of objects, such as bugs, with labels on them giving information labeling them. You've got a bug, a pin, and some labels in this little shish-kebob. But that doesn't do you any good if you don't have the metadata. So there's a pointer to a ledger which is kept in a filing cabinet somewhere in a professor's office. The chain of people protecting this knowledge. So what does it take to know a gnat? Is this something in our head? No. It takes air conditioners, dedicated institutions, people, experts, systems of metadata, pins. That's what it takes to know a gnat. It's not in our heads. The idea that we think knowledge is in our heads is pathological, but we're getting away from it. Harvard is now putting it all online, so at some point in the future we'll have a database that enables us to know the gnat. Knowledge is simpler than the world it explains. (photo of George W. Bush) In May, Bush gave a talk about immigration. We all know that speeches are boiled down and worked over. Within a few hours after the speech, there were over 2500 blog posts about it, and most of them in one way or another complicated what the speechwriters had tried to make simple. That's all we do in conversation, is find something and iterate on it. That's a movement toward complexifying the simple. That's a great joy, especially after 100 years of being made stupid by simplification. This dialectic has taken us ... there's something Hegelian about it ... hyperlinks are a way out of, and above, but yet encapsulates both sides: the need to complexify, and the need to simplify. Every chance you can get, you hyperlink. Now you have something that no longer fits within covers. Users' discretion is incredibly powerful and liberating and breaks the old book model. If you read the memoirs of X, it sounds like a lifetime of fighting against the evils of alphabeticization. Alphabetizing something adds no information. (joke about the limitations of Wikipedia's navigation system) There may be neutral point of view possible about facts. I can't imagine that NPOV is even possible about taxonomy. The binary nature of knowledge. Things are true or false. If you open up a copy of Brittanica, World Book, whatever, you are right to bellieve that what you read is credible. If you open up Wikipedia randomly, something does not have credibility simply by being in Wikipedia. You may hit the article at the very moment when some asshole has turned it into fiction. Things in Wikipedia obviously have credibility, but (listed some methods used to verify credibility of individual articles), and (my favorite thing), Wikipedia is not shy about putting up notices about its own fallibility. Wikipedia encourages editors to post notices saying, "Here's how this article may be wrong." That makes Wikipedia more credible. The question is, why is Wikipedia so easy about letting users insert these, but I don't believe that in my lifetime you will ever see those types of notices in the New York Times. Why not? Why wouldn't they do this? Newspapers ''do'' have metadata that lets you know whether you should believe this. They post certain content in an editorial section; they identify certain information as coming from anonymous sources. Wikipedia feels like ours. It's something we've done. For too long, thousands of years, we've been alienated as knowledge because it's been presented as theirs. "They" are the authorities. By commoditizing facts, we were moving up a peg in world access to knowledge. Heidegger said, "what does it mean to be a hammer?" What's a hammer? In order to know what a hammer is, you have to know about nails, and boards, and lumber, and trees, and forests, and the economic system that connects those things. You can call this whole thing a context, or you can do what Heidegger did and say, "you're talking about a realm called meaning." Andrew Clark, in a book called "Being There," said that as a species we've always externalized functions of consciousness. Books externalize knowledge. This is how we've progressed as a species. Maybe what we're doing now is externalizing meaning. We're spending a lot of time putting things together. We're adding tags and letting things connect. Mitch Kapor has a really interesting thing going on involving gathering tags and mining them for meaning. We're going to do it through the semantic web... 3362 9535 2006-08-07T08:57:09Z Mgiereth 691 3363 9543 2006-08-07T09:36:06Z Mgiereth 691 [[Image:WikipediaPreviews-Poster.pdf]] 3364 9541 2006-08-07T09:35:13Z Mgiereth 691 3365 9544 2006-08-07T10:20:13Z Chl 693 create {{ presenter | name = Chris Lüer | affiliation = Ball State University | website = http://www.cs.bsu.edu/homepages/chl | wikiname = Chl | onwiki = en | abstract = Disambiguation: The Key to Information Architecture? | code = CL1 }} 3366 10338 2006-08-30T19:44:45Z 69.176.129.228 /* Technologies that placeblogs need */ '''Notes''' from the [[Citizen_Journalism#Moderators_and_Schedule|sessions]] during the [[Citizen_Journalism|Citizen Journalism]] unconference. =Placeblogs - Lisa Williams= Placeblogs are exploding, but few people know about them. There is a list of about 300 placeblogs, thinks there are more than 1,000. A ciriticism is that it's "minor," when they're really about the lived experience of a place. Attention will fall on stuff that newspapers cover, but in general there is not necessarily a lot of overlap between them. The subject matter of a placeblog is often what never appears in the newspaper. Need to defend that stuff...it's part of the conversation they have about their place. ==Running list of placeblogs== * Buffalo Rising (NY) * DC Blogs (DC) * Edhat (Santa Barbara, CA) ==Types of placeblogs== * Solo operator: LA Observed, [http://AnnArborIsOverrated.com AnnArborIsOverrated.com] * Group: Baristanet, Philbrick James Forum, New Haven Independent, Westport Now, PotreroHillSF, Gotham Gazette * Community: iBrattleboro, Universal Hub, Didjuneau?, Buffalo Rising * Network * Filter * Aggregators * Professional * Political/statehousse * Spam placeblogs Majority are in midsize cities, 20-70,000 population. ==Private equity investors are strip-mining local media== Chains. Local media sell out to private equity investor, make a mini-mogul out of yourself. They're looking for a payout in 3-7 years. Private ownership isn't necessarily much better than public. People say bloggers can't compete with newspapers because they don't have the resources. I'm not outnumbered by my local newspaper. It only has one reporter. ==Americans like to live in places where there isn't any "news"== "If there's a story on Arsenal Street, we'll cover it." -- Boston Globe "I like how they put in that big arros, as if to prove to us that they do, in fact, know where Arsenal Street is." We still have this appetite to talk to each other. After 6 or 7 days of reading the Globe and not finding anything about your town, you lose interest. ==Thinking about placeblogs== .72% of Wikipedia readers become contributors If you start a placeblog, you should expect to work on it by yourself for about a year. "Civicsnerds." Almost everybody has a librarian contributor. ==Lessons from shuttered placeblogs== * Examples: ** The Alaska Blog ** Fayettevilleblog.com *Many people still believe in the web as a place of "magical work creation" *In the corporate world, this fantasy is called "user generated content" ==Problems facing Placeblogs== * Mismatch between locales with low-enough competittion from traditional media and locales with enough scale to create a natural pool of participants ==Technologies that placeblogs need== I think this would change if we had better geolocation technology. *Autodiscovery of blogs and blog posts via location *Plugins for one-off advertising *Lightweight, distributed directory technology *Going beyond reverse chronology Q: (Yahoo) Folks should think more about the classification put forward. The more they can do with tagging and metadata to surface, classify and point people to these things. Lisa: "country correspondence" was like "gardening barbed wire." Somewhere in all of this, journalists' conception of themselves changed. Q: (Robert Winters) If you're living in Cambridge and living on the shoulder of Boston, the typical local will be picking up the Globe or the NYT. But if you go further out, it's more likely that people will be interested in the local paper. There is a symbiotic relationship between local blogs and the local paper. A: First Suburbs study (report?). It's the worst spot for media if you can see the skyline. Q: A: I could get off my back end and do the unfun work of finding advertisers. I think the thing underneath your organizations is, will they be around if they don't make money? What lasts for a hundred years? They're not businesses. They're voluntary organizations. My crackpot idea is for this to be around after I die. Adding a lot of advertisers and costs to this may make it less successful. Q: (Westport Now) I'm troubled a little bit by the term "citizen media." Westport has coverage of topics like a schoolteacher who was fired, and people are protesting. One of our most popular features is "teardown of the day," which evaluates property values, property transfers. One of the best ways to go is to mix pros with non-pros. Westport Now shows up in Google, while the papers don't. ==Podcast of session== * [http://www.andycarvin.com/archives/2006/08/lisa_williams_discus.html Lisa Williams session] - via Andy Carvin * [http://www.archive.org/download/citmedia06_lisa_williams/citmedia06_lisa_williams.mp3 Podcast] from [http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/audioberkman/2006/08/08/lisa-williams-at-citizen-journalism-unconference/ AudioBerkman] = Toolset-Andrew Lih = *Wikipedia: Fuzheado *http://www.andrewlih.com/blog ==Zeitgeist== *podcasting **vlogging **rocketboom *blogs **blogger **livejournal **myspace *p2p communication **VOIP **Videoconf **skype **skypecast *p2p distribution **bittorrent **pplive *cms **drupal **mambo/joomla **scoop *radical inclusion ** *rss *user contributions *social software *solid state recording *cheap ==Tools== *news/media gathering *content editing/filtering *distribution tor.eff.org allows people to write online anonymously (Dan Bricklin) I think of newspapers, blogs, books. One of the reasons for the name of Aldus was there was a guy who figured out how to make the book work: right size, page numbers. As we ended up with the blog, we had personal websites for many years before blogs, but they sort of died, until people figured out that it was important to automatically make it easy to do reverse chronological, to put in the title, the date and time, and the permalink. The wiki, which is different, had simple markup; the ability to put in headings easily; and a history for each page; and a way to create a page before you wrote it. So what primitives do we need to have for citizen journalism? Some of it is very bursty. Someone doesn't mean to be a journalist, but they happen to be at the right place at the right time. Those people became citizen journalists in a way. How do we make it possible for that stuff to show up in the right place? How do we handle the diversity? (Ethan Zuckerman) The folks who are involved with this movement now are not necessarily the most important folks to be involved in this movement. The vast majority of us have laptops, broadband internet, ... and the things that happen in our lives are a lot less interesting. The people who are going to be using the tools of citizen media are going to be using very different interfaces than we are using. Today we're thinking about this as based around a laptop. That's all fantastic, but to actually get this out to transform journalism as we know it and touch people outside the developed world, we're going to have to think seriously about how we get outside the devices and paradigms that we're used to using. I have been urging people to think about how you can turn a telephone into something that makes you a reporter? And how do you build that into radio broadcasts. A primitive we need to deal with is being able to choose a common tag so we know what to deal with. The digital equivalent of an "assignment editor." The tool I want is an easy way to put together an anthology of what happened that day. You also need a person to do that. Micah Sifry: Content and tools. We want to get everyone's ideas about what we should be doing. One problem is just access to information. There's a lot of stuff that his hidden in plain view. It's disclosed, but filed in paper, so you can't get to it unless you want to wade through thousands of PDFs. Another example: You can't get specific information about all federal contracts. It's a database that will be available to the public in another month. We're looking for, "what other kinds of content would people like to have at their fingertips?" Tools: We're working on trying to invent some simple-to-use tools that will help bloggers and citizen journalists do what they do. The "pop-up politician." (Erik Moeller, WikiNews) We have two layers: gathering of facts, but the actual editing is always going to be a smaller subset of people who have the skills. We have experimented with collaborative editing, such as SubEthaEdit. The technology is not yet mature enough. Video aggregation: a method of letting people submit their videos with their stories of what's happening in the U.S. Then you'd have a process by which they all come together, segmenting, aggregating them into a larger feature like a documentary. Jay Rosen has started a project called "new assignment.net" that will pay citizen journalists to work on some larger projects. (Andy Carvin) Video: There are some crude ways to do it, like tagging videos. It's not very elegant, but it does work. We're omitting SMS. It's critically important in other countries. (Chris Messina) There's a tool called DemocracyPlayer. One of my clients has built SMS Flashgroups. You just text join and a keyword, and anyone else who joins can have a mailing. Tagspace. Push on the flock folks to continue doing that for a large audience. Castlife ... mentioned Kent Bye's Echo Chamber Project. Want to see translation tools, other languages. We need tools to make tools. ==Podcast of session== *[http://www.andycarvin.com/archives/2006/08/whats_the_ideal_tool.html Andrew Lih session] Via Any Carvin (approximately 50 mins., 45MB) * [http://www.archive.org/download/citmedia06_andrew_lih/citmedia06_andrew_lih.mp3 Podcast] from [http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/audioberkman AudioBerkman] =Multimedia - Steve Garfield= * Steve Garfield's [[His_summary|summary]] ==Podcast of session== * [http://www.archive.org/download/citmedia06_steve_garfield/citmedia06_steve_garfield.mp3 Podcast] of Steve Garfield session from [http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/audioberkman/2006/08/08/steve-garfield-at-citizen-journalism-unconference/ AudioBerkman] =Filling gaps - Tom Stites= ==Relevant links== * [http://citmedia.org/blog/2006/07/03/guest-posting-is-media-performance-democracys-critical-issue/ Is Media Performance Democracy's Critical Issue] - Recent speech by Tome Stites * Tom Stites' [[His_introduction|introduction]] ==Podcast of session== * [http://www.archive.org/download/citmedia06_tom_sites/citmedia06_tom_sites.mp3 Podcast] of Tom Stites session from [http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/audioberkman/2006/08/08/tom-stites-at-citizen-journalism-unconference/ AudioBerkman] =Law - Phil Malone= * [[Phil%27s_summary|Phil's summary]] ==Relevant links== * [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Podcasting_Legal_Guide Creative Commons 'Podcasting Legal Guide'] * [http://mediabloggers.org/ Media Bloggers Association] * [http://www.eff.org/bloggers/lg EFF Bloggers' Legal Guide] * [http://www.fepproject.org/policyreports/fairuseflyer.html 'Will Fair Use Survive?

I have a background in biochemistry, and could have followed a talk on ''that'' at this level - being an academic doesn't mean you will understand the technical language of all disciplines. This was a mixed room, not a room of specialists in the subject of the talks. I think they need to be pitched for that... or at the very least, labelled as not suitable for a non-specialist in that subject. * Moderators need to be more strict about time-keeping, especially for the breakout sessions (not as important for the sessions where everyone is together anyway).

A 5 minute break between sessions may have made it easier to change. :The information that was distributed seemed surprisingly sparse. Without wireless Internet to look up abstracts on site, I would've had no idea which sessions were relevant to me. :It seemed like when there were multiple sessions on the technical track, there were all held at the same time.

A "hotline" number that you can call for more information would be nice so that you can just scribble that number down, and use it if you are lost. [[User:Roadrunner|Roadrunner]] 19:12, 7 August 2006 (UTC) :Agreed. Erica did a fantastic job with registration and accomodations, but she was overwhelmed, and didn't get around to responding to my middle-of-the-night conundrum until Thursday, when I was already en route to Wikimania -- I therefore didn't know where to go when I got to Harvard and only found Pound Hall because I passed Jimbo on the street. More coordinating staff/volunteers, especially ahead of time, would be a great boon. Any maybe a public 24-hour "help" line? - [[User:Seth Ilys|Seth Ilys]] 03:28, 17 August 2006 (UTC) I've never been to a conference that had so many power outlets in every room; that was a wonderful treat.

So I was a little disappointed to find these two oversights (however I understand the volunteers doing the work can't think of/do everything): * No table at the conference selling books by Lessig, Benkler, & some of the other speakers we listened to. (I had to trudge down to the Harvard Coop to buy a copy of Benkler's book, & at least one other attendee expressed a desire to buy a copy.) Autographed copies for sale would have been a bonus. * The Widener Library, one of the great libraries currently in existence, is closed to everyone without a Harvard ID. At the very least, next time we are near such a storehouse of information please could we at least have a tour of the institution? -- [[User:Llywrch|Llywrch]] 17:01, 8 August 2006 (UTC) :* our tour fell through. I am very sorry as well! [[User:Brassratgirl|phoebe]] 17:43, 24 August 2006 (UTC) ==Conference time of year== ==Miscellaneous== *The names on the badges should be in a much bigger font, so that they can be read from a distance. [[User:Ike9898|Ike9898]] 17:18, 7 August 2006 (UTC) **Someone suggested to print both sides of the badges, they tend to flip over. And to print the first name even larger so that one can read that from yards away in less optimal (crowded) conditions. He had seen that at previous conferences. It is a minor detail but it means less slightly embarassing moments where people have to ask for a name that should be visible or perhaps even should be known but was lost in the contact overload. Of course people say their name when shaking hands, but with all accent and pronunciation differences it helps to be able to take a peek at the name card again. ***It's standard procedur at BookCrossing conventions to have nametags showing user name, real name and home location (with a little flag) on the front, and a copy of the schedule on the back. Obviously you can't fit everything in, but times for session starts and main events can be included. Paper shedules get tucked away an lost. [[User:Skyring|Skyring]] 10:34, 9 August 2006 (UTC) *We had the GNAA vandal hitting the wiki on Saturday evening.

Just attatch a recorder to the mic. For instance, I found Brad Patrick's shtick on legal issues facing Wikimedia incredibly helpful, but no archive exists. I think even video would be possible too; bringing personal video cameras are good enough quality for small groups, im sure some wikimanian's would be willing to carry that torch if no official capacity is possible.[[User:JoeSmack|JoeSmack]] 14:37, 8 August 2006 (UTC) **And shouldn't the highest profile speakers be recorded in a relatively sophisticated manner?

[[User:Brassratgirl|phoebe]] 07:43, 19 August 2006 (UTC) *** All of the speakers should be recorded in the same professional way. Don't get a hall without an audio system. Tell, don't ask, tell the speakers in the invitation that they will be recorded, the recordings will be distributed online in the following formats (and make sure that at least one of those formats is free, no more proprietary/encumbered-only embarassments), and distributed under the following license. This way people know what's up and the speakers have no room to complain when they get there if they don't want to be recorded. Record everything; turn the Wikimania into a single-track festival if you don't have enough equipment to do a good job everywhere. Yes, I am completely serious. --J.B. Nicholson-Owens (mail@digitalcitizen.info) *** I uploaded the hand-shot H.264-compressed QuickTime-format improvisational Lessig video mainly to aid anyone creating transcripts or extracting audio, as a 'better than nothing' solution for people who had missed the live stream or who couldn't handle real format (my tripod was still in my luggage at the airport at that time). My belief (largely faith-based) is that in the halls (like Ames) where live video feeds were streamed, a video archive was also captured and will eventually be published, so my footage would mainly be useful as "B-Roll" material, for alternate P-O-V, snippets of favorite quotes, views of people in the audience, context, etc., and as a temporary placeholder for the 'real' video to follow. It's posted on blip.tv with a Creative Commons ShareAlike license to encourage others to use it to create whatever else might be useful. I'm working on geting the raw DV footage up at archive.org or collaborative video-editing services. An organized pool of volunteer capturers would do wonders to back up and outrun any official efforts, at this or any other conference. [[User:raines|Raines Cohen]], 11:42 10 August 2006 (UTC) * Templates like wiki type templates or blog type templates will likely be updated. Ever newer templates will be developed. What will be the next big template?... that will offer even better collaborative exchanges. Drawbacks in the current templates will be solved. What new templates are being developed now?... <br>[[User:Don warner saklad|Don warner saklad]] * Last I looked (before the 2006 event), Wikimania was going to be webcast live exclusively in RealMedia, a proprietary format only readable with proprietary software. Looking at the archives, things are slightly better with a clear minority of files distributed in codecs and formats one can read on any platform with software one is free to share and modify (free software). But the majority of the files in the archive are in a patent-encumbered format (MP3) or a format employing a proprietary codec (QuickTime container, proprietary codec used for audio and video within). I thought that "Free Knowledge requires Free Software and Free File Formats" (see http://blog.jimmywales.com/index.php/archives/2004/10/21/free-knowledge-requires-free-software-and-free-file-formats/) and this is why Wikipedia favors Ogg Vorbis audio files and Ogg Theora+Vorbis video+audio files. Perhaps someone could help Wikimania return to webcasting in free codecs and archiving in free formats (offering proprietary and/or patent-encumbered alternatives as an option but never exclusively). http://wingolog.org/archives/2006/07/07/so-you-want-to-stream-a-conference seems apropos. (J.B. Nicholson-Owens -- http://www.digitalcitizen.info -- mail@digitalcitizen.info). * Please get someone who knows something about audio and video production. A friend of mine showed me some of the Lessig talk and this footage was embarrassing. It was shot by someone seated(!) in the middle or back of the room(!) by someone who doesn't know how to hold a camcorder steady. The introducer had no mic(!) and was barely audible above the din of the room. The previous Wikimania recordings were far better than this. What happened since last year? *: Are you saying that we should just ban people from doing their own videos of proceedings, and make people wait (several weeks, probably) for the official ones to be encoded and uploaded to Commons? I'm confused. Certainly, the unofficial Lessig footage is poor, yes, but that seems an odd reaction. [[User:Jdforrester|James F.]] [[User_talk:Jdforrester|(talk)]] *: Perhaps there should be a note saying "come back in 2 weeks" - or even a link saying "email here to be notified when they're available". [[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]] 20:41, 19 August 2006 (UTC) *: Relax, everyone should be able to record and distribute what they wish. Is it possible to get the people who did the previous Wikimania stuff to record the future Wikimania proceedings?

You are really on to something. There is something big going on here and a lot of these talks are about trying to figure it out. At the beginning of the talk I'll talk about things I know about and at the end talk about things I don't know -- how is that for a VC pitch? I'll talk about open source, open content and the rise of the technical non-profits. Universal Access to All Knowledge is a big goal, and if you accomplish it, what are you going to do? Move to Florida? Wikipedia is the 15th most popular site on the web. This is because of the enlightenment goal. The goal isn't a technical one, but a structural one. Despite centuries old balance...1976 radical expansion of US Copyright Regulation. Property of IP is perhaps the worst idea since the Domino Theory. Information is knowledge, not property. Valenti's crowning achievement radicalized copyright regulation. Most people talk about 130 year protection, but it is the vast scope and repercussions. First casualty was software. The response was Open Source licenses. MIT's sale to Symbolics, which forked development and RMS' experience lead to open source. This is Brewster's revisionist history, but it may be where it came from. The second casualty was Music and Video. The response was Creative Commons licenses. Another response was organizations to facilitate community effort. We lost the help of institutions like MIT so we built new ones. The Free Software Foundation. DejaNews was a for profit, sold to Google, dissapated. IMDB, 6 guy community project was bought by Amazon. CDDB became Gracenote, Inc. WAIS Inc was sold to AOL. FTP Software sold to NetManage. Cygnus sold to Redhat. All commercial companies built upon community effort that don't last long. FSF is still around. The response is the rise of the technical non-profit. Apache software foundation has no full-time employees, but is incorporated to last a while. OASF has gotten money not only from Mitch but from Foundations. Mozilla Foundation is a great success with Firefox and the Google toolbar (money) they spun off a for-profit company. Interesting ecology to watch and try and understand what it means. Linux. Internet Archive is based on the open access model -- can we get paid for the administration we do so everything we do can be openly accessible. Wikimedia foundation you know about. The rise of the technical non-profit is an interesting addition to the ecology, we went wrong with the over-corporatization post WWII. EFF., Public Knowledge and Open Content Alliance exist to enforce rights and serve us. We massively screwed up our law structure and the general approach of knowledge of property. Open Hardware. Petabox, a cheap machine that is open sourced. The $100 Laptop Program has interest in the order of 5-10 million. What would happen if the next major laptop company is a non-profit? It is because they are non-profit that they are trusted and base on open work. The structure is now in place to proceed towards Universal Access to All Knowledge. We have institutions dedicated towards these goals, but how are we doing towards it? In Text, getting the 26-28 million books in the Library of Congress. 1 megabyte for a book, 26 terabytes, $60k cost for the entire library on a Linux machine. But I actually like books, the printed page. Created the mobile bookmobile, which has printed a million books. The cost is a penny a page, a buck a book means you can give books away. In our first debut of this was the supreme court when they were arguing to extend copyright another 20 years, but we lost that one. Eric Eldred has one, two in India, one in Egypt, one in Uganda... this gets closer to universal access, but what we realized is we need to scan more books. One way to do this is send them somewhere else. The Million Books project sends them to India, but we had to buy 100k books to send to them, but not many others wanted to send books to them. So the Indians were scanning their own books, which may be the right thing for them to do. Put the scanners next to the books. Sending to India to scan is $10 per book, in the US it is $30. The automatic scanners are not effective, so we made our own scanner and can do it at 10 cents a page. Scanning 400 books a day. $750 million dollars to digitize the Library of Congress. About a year an a half of the LoB budget. Books are within our grasp technologically. There are issues about if it will be done by non-profits or projects like Google Books. We have an orphaned works problem. The way you ask a question in the US is through a lawsuit, Khale and Eldred. But if you get to frame a problem (orphaned works) you have already won. Who would forget the orphans? Give the orphans a home! Next is in-print works. Amazon is working the other way, from print to out of print. We have found with the Open Content Alliance something that works. Even Microsoft is giving us money. In Audio, if you take all the published works, there are 2-3 million musical works. A fairly litigated area. Some precedent that ripping them and putting them online might not be okay. A lot of musicians just looking to be put on the internet. The Grateful Dead allowed people to trade music. The key was, as long as no one was making any money. This allowed people to feel good about it. Legitimate bootlegging copies by other bands. So we went to this community and said: "would you like unlimited storage and bandwidth for free." They said, "we don't believe you." And they didn't like lossy compression. We said try us. Got lots of Okays. 2k bands, 30k recordings, everything the Grateful Dead played. Many versions of each concert, as there are debates over microphone types. If you give something for free, not only is it not taxed, but you get a tax rebate. Getting Slashdotted is a nightmare, your ISP bills could make you sell your guitar or house. Europe has a different copy-write scheme for performances (50 years), so we are working with the Dutch government to make old stuff free. In Moving Images, 100-200,000 films. Not much, makes putting them online conceivable. We want to do this with DVD quality, but we are finding lots of archival films that never had distribution. Have 30k films on the Archive, dwarfed by YouTube, which is cool. Discovering genres like Lego Movies. Lots of these things end up in closets. Putting them online is $15 per video hour. We will host it, if it generally belongs in a library and it is okay to share it. Television, we have a big Tivo, captured a Petabyte so far of 20 channels over a couple of years. We made one week available, the week of 911, we put online a month after. We are now understanding in the US that the news comes with a point of view. Chomsky used to say you should read 7 newspapers a day, recently this might make sense. Getting multiple points of view. Television is technologically possible, there are some rights issues, but we could do it all -- all text, music, movies and TV is within our grasp. We got a change in the DMCA, yea! But we need a lot of help. Web. We are best known from our web collection, about a Petabyte in size. In the history of libraries, they tend to get burned, usually by governments, and then they are sorry for 100 years, but it is too late. The lesson from the Library of Alexandria is don't just have one copy. Give copies away. Our first shot at this was with the Library of Alexandria version 2. If we had six or seven of these around the world I could sleep at night. We are trying to do this through large scale swap agreements. Here is Wikipedia in the Archive. But most people are using it to look at their own stuff, their old websites. One of the reasons this is working is because we are non-profits. Books, Music, Video, Software and Web -- it is all possible. Some open questions if it is public or private, for-profit or non-profit. Is Google the only shot we are going to have at scanning Harvard's library? Looks like it. I'm going to use this opportunity to advertise some projects we need help on. Non-profit Open Networks like SeattleWireless.net or MIT roofnet. Telecom company interests are not aligned with an open internet. Distributed ownership network -- SFlan mesh network. Open and transparent Web Search System -- Nutch. Let's build some alternatives and be more creative. Recall which does time-based search on the whole Archive, a project done by one woman that indexed more pages than Google, then she went to work for Google and hopefully she will come back. Privacy and Anonymity. It is now known that the US Government is monitoring us. Tor. Defensive Patent License. What if you did a GPL for Patents? The DPL is a license that reflects a public commitment to defense, so our patents are forever defensive. Any organization may freely use these licensed patents while so publicly committed to defense. An Open Textbook system, started by Wikipedia. The number one request we get for books is textbooks. Add Attribution to Wikipedia. Gutenberg guys didn't were nervous about the copyright thing. We should know where the facts from Wikipedia came from. Go read about Transclusion with Ted Nelson, backpointers. Richard Feynman, a physicist in 1982, was talking about how many layers it would take from Propedia to Micropedia to books as sources. Open Library: annotate the book collection. Why is this book interesting to someone in the modern world. What can we do to re-inject old books into today? We can pull off Universal Access to All Knowledge. This is where Wiki is going towards, one of the great things that humanity will be remembered for, up there with a Man on the Moon in the mythology of humanity.

Abawi "Using Wiki Systems as Information Back-Ends for e-Learning applications"== Motivation - Problem Analysis & Requirements - Concepts & Architecture - Use Case: The LernBar E-Learning Environment (@ Universitaet Frankfurt am Main) Why integrate a Wiki with another system? Wiki will not replace ex cathedra classes More & more professors at Frankfort are asking for Wikis to be setup. Allows for more detail on topics. Example Implementations at JW Goethe U. Frankfurt: Computer Graphics (CGPedia), Japanology (JWiki), Medicine (AnatomyWiki), Theology (Basis-ReliPaed) Integrate -- Use of existing specialized or legacy applications to present course content or manage classes. Many professors believe that a Wiki system improves student interaction with the class. So why not replace existing system with Wiki? Risk of loss of data. Still want to use the Wiki as a web application; however want the applications to talk to the backend containing the data. This presents problems: 4 issues: applicatoin has its own form, needing the data to be transformed; differences between the Wikis & their implimentatoin; visual & navigational characteristics of diff. Wikis; online/offline access. 4 tier system to allow structured query of Wiki data. Multi-tiered integration architecture Wiki abstraction layer/Wiki layer - example in Java or p-code, asking to return info related to "eyelid" article, article itself may then return related articles. - example of GenericWikiWrapper using objects to make use of polymorphism. Use-case involving LernBar. Courses broken up into a number of web pages. On-the-fly integration of the glossary, thus if a student encounters a term they do not understand, they can consult the glossary thru hyperlnk. (Visual example showing pop-up info about human eyelid from the Wiki. Need to take care to use the Wiki as a Wiki, & not abuse it as a content of data. (Talks as if this this has not be implimented yet - or at least beyond an experimental basis.) Q about the display of the data as RO. Design decision, forcing users to modify the info on the Wiki itself. Q: Is prototype real or a mockup? Real. Q: is this a screen-scraper? No, takes the data from the Wiki database. But depends on how the wrapper is written & applied. Also about API, about lack of structure in the Wiki data. Datastore for off-line access. Q: Worry about multiple implimentation of Wikis, keep the number small & concern over collapse of a Wiki. ==Sponagl: Device independent access to all Wikipedia projects== Showing an experimental application. Mobile phone access to Internet. More popular in Japan (e.g.) than thru computer. The challenge of creating a website that can be easily viewed on a mobile device. Showing the application on a real Handy (Nokia 3650) shown over a webcam; (buttons being pressed by a robot -- to the fascination of the audience). Using the existing browser in the Nokia, user will get the message "Seite zu gross" However going to "en.wikipedia.7val.com" -- shows a modified page that can be displayed. Q: Is this using an algorithm, or was it hand-done? A: Can do both algorithm or "tweak" it. Showed tab-completion with app. Can even edit with the cell-phone. Quote Jimbo about everyone should have access to Wikipedia. States this is a technical issue for the next few years. Typical access mechanisims: web tablets, appliances, TVs in home, mobile devices (phones, PDA) 3 of these devices to each computer with a ethernet connection. Emerging countries need mobile access to knowledge; thus we need to support Playstations, Nintendos. "Transform Playstations to knowledge stations". "Access to Wikipedia anywhere, anytime, anyhow." Reducing content so that it will fit on the limited viewing field of a mobile device. Service & content adaption: Wikimedia software functionality often is a superset to what is needed. The browser on every Handy has its own set of bugs, Sevenval FIT is a transcoding & service oriented proxy. Number of sensitive customers using it, including banks because it is very secure, does not touch the data. Written a mobile configuration for WP. Supports 2000 mobile devices & all Wikimedia Projects. wikipedia.7val.com has been up & running since Jan. 2006; 15,000 page views a day without any marketing, 20% per month growth. Sevenval motivation: marketing value, feature feedback -- & fun. "Supporting wikipedia is fun. I use Wikipedia every morning" Wikipedia motivation: New users, extends reach, prevents feature creep. Q: What is your business model? A: Wikipedia just for marketing, have other paid customers e.g. tmobile vision. Four days to develop the Wikipedia application. Q: Asking about use of this on his cell phone, Google's PDA version, a pda.wikipedia.org. Q asking to define screen-scraping. Q: Are people using this to edit Wikipedia? A: Don't know.

Not his server, but found someone using his script to convert. Shows example page "search" which preserves hyperlinks in article. However the version of WP he converted is an older version (example article is a stub). Q about how it runs. Needs to run a dictionary server. Describes the Nokia 770. Then started on MaemoDict. Started writing the client, but as of April 2006 MaemoDict includes a dictd server. Uses the Eagle library. Working to add WikiTravel support. FBReader support, "one of the best e-book readers" Can use wik2dict to extract specific articles. 3394 9790 2006-08-08T21:42:06Z Llywrch 387 [[Devine Schroedinger]] moved to [[Archives/Devine Schroedinger]]: better name Betsy Devine: "Schoedinger's Wiki: The quantum challenge of media attention" (Dave Winer in the audience again.) Active contributor to en.WP. Refers to how if you observe an event, it changes the event. (Could have called it the "Paris Hilton Effect") Showed original outline of the talk. * Media attention * Challenge: Vandal wave * Challenge: Spin wave * Metrics & solution Challenge of the "Swiftboating" edit war. 4 examples of different interpretations of the meaning of "swiftboating". Vandalism: including potboiling, editwarring, contentious edits, POV-pushing. Provides various examples. "Swiftboating": the edit history. Originally little interest, a backwater until 29 Nov 2005 15:29. Excel diagram of a vandal wave 125 edits in 3 hours. Issue of edit conflict - affects thoughtful editors more than vandals. What happened? talkingpointsmemo.com linked to the article & the vandal boasted of it on a right-wing forum. Vandal wave: set off by a "media event"; if block one IP, others arrive in its place; stakes are much higher. Changes what you can do, not just what you can see - makes making the change more difficult & degrades the experience. Compared the edit history to [[swiftboated]]. Media event sends a wave of anon editors, new editors w/o user pages. Proceeds to the examples of [[Podcasting]], [[Adam Curry]], [[John Siegenthaler]]. Siegenthaler article attracted established users in response, who not only created a spike but returned to continue to improve the article. * Learning from pgkbot -- bot monitoring edits, & new names, allows Admin to block. Use code to detect, use code to deflect in a low, level manner. * Need to act fast: not one IP stayed to make further edits. News cycle ebbs away within 36 hours. * Vandal wave vs. "spin wave" Respond to media vs. Influence media; amateur vs. paid professionals ([http://PaidToComment.com PaidToComment.com] -- astroturfing). Q: How did Siegienthaler event differ from the Swiftboat event? A: There was a hyperlink involved in this matter. Q: But these people don't show any interest in becoming a member of the community. A: Interesting point. I need to research this further. Q: What is the conjugate variable involved?

(Dave Winer in the audience again; later learned so was David Weinberger.) I'd like to thank the volunteers because it is not clear why people would volunteer for so much hard work with little tangible reward. Based the beginning of this investigation on a change in belief that the concept "neutral" was an unfortunate coinage. Objective bias. Articles considered without bias if they describe the debate, rather than present one side. McArthur (1986): Dogma, rationalism, neutrality & fairness, The "it" protocol: figure out who is "it" (talking in reference to "it" in tag, "Eenie, meenie, miney, moe, etc.")<br> Take-away: participants follow a collection of rules under some sort of authority, which creates some level of accountability. Friedman & Nissenbaum (1996): Bias in technological systems: pre-exiting, technical, & emergent bias Policy neutrality in technical standards (based on experience working at the W3C, where emphasis of standards was on "mechanism not policy"). Realize that an impartiality may lead to an objectionable result. The goal of neutrality should be accomplished with the least onerous implimentation of proposed rules. By being neutral, one can be a bridge to all sides. Achieving fairness requires the keys of Objective, neutral, & transparency. A sensitivity to minority positions, impartiality & plurality, extend good-faith, a commitment to the least onerous mechanism. Concludes with admitting he likes "neutral" better than "unbiased" 3396 9788 2006-08-08T21:37:56Z Llywrch 387 [[Transcript of these three presentations]] moved to [[Archives/Technical track]]: better page name #REDIRECT [[Archives/Technical track]] 3397 9791 2006-08-08T21:42:06Z Llywrch 387 [[Devine Schroedinger]] moved to [[Archives/Devine Schroedinger]]: better name #REDIRECT [[Archives/Devine Schroedinger]] 3398 9795 2006-08-08T21:47:51Z Llywrch 387 [[Reagle NPOV]] moved to [[Archives/Reagle NPOV]]: better name #REDIRECT [[Archives/Reagle NPOV]] 3399 9804 2006-08-08T23:43:42Z Dallan 701 [[User:Dallan]] - Wikimania 2006 attendee [[User:Dallan]] - Wikimania 2006 attendee 3401 9857 2006-08-10T06:38:50Z Aphaia 6 これは8月4日、ウィキマニア2006で行われたジンボ・ウェールズによる基調講演の一部の非公式な翻訳です。基調講演の全文は音声ファイルで聴くことができます。 ---- [[Archives/Jimbo_Keynote]] 17:13, 5 August 2006 Dedalusの版より翻訳（by [[:w:ja:利用者:Kasuga]]） :私たちが出来るだろうと考えている社会的なことの一つに、[[w:WP:BIO|WP:BIO]]があります。過去一年の間、特に英語版のウィキペディアでは、存命中の人物に関する私たちの方針は、より洗練されたものとなり、より高品質なものとなり、実際に品質の高さが強い焦点となっています。 :これに対するコミュニティによる反応の一部として、シーゲンソーラー事件だけではなく、多くの似たような事件があります。ウィキペディアが拡大に拡大を重ねるにしたがって、二つの出来事が起こっています。ウィキペディアが重要になっていくにつれ、スティーブン・コルベアのような有名人の誰もが、ウィキペディアで自分の記事を調べます。しかし、また、プロジェクトがどんどん大きくなっていくにつれ、実際にどんどん有名でない人々の記事が書かれていくようになります。そう、あなたはジョージ・ブッシュについて望むように書けますし、確かに、ブッシュは電話をしてきて彼の聞いたすべてのことについて抗議したりはしないでしょう。しかし、起きている事があります、ほとんど有名でない人々と一種の議論好きな人々がおり、彼らは彼らの記事をウィキペディアで読んで、もし、それが良いものでなければ、抗議し、ひっくり返します…… :私が何度も何度も見たことのある一種の典型的なパターンがあります。ある記事を訪れて、気に入らない何かを見た誰かが、記事を空白化します。当然です。誰かが彼らに警告し、彼らは記事を再び空白化し、彼らはブロックされます。当然です。そして彼らは法的な脅迫を持ち出し、彼らは'''本当に'''ブロックされます。そして、実際には、彼らが正しい出発点に立っていたかもしれないのに、その人にとって事態は総じて悪い結果に終わります。あるいは、おそらく彼らは正しくないのかもしれません。おそらく、彼らは自分について書かれた事が気に入らなかっただけかもしれませんが、それでも、私たちは事態をうまく扱えませんでした。 :近年において、私は社会的な方針が発展を遂げたと考えて、最近の数ヶ月を、実際にこの問題をもっとうまく扱おうとしてきました。多くの管理者と経験豊富な執筆者は、ソースが示されていない主張（これは、常にこの問題の典型的な例です）に対して、非常に強い態度を取っています。 :そして私の感想と感覚では、存命中の人物の記述は、ウィキペディアの最も困難でもっとも重要な領域の一つであり、より高品質に向かおうとする非常に大規模な運動を、私たちがまさに見ている場所です。コミュニティの多くの人々が、実際にそれに打ち込んでいます。 :そして、今でも古い時代のごく僅かな人々が言います。「ええ、あなたも知っている通り、これはウィキです、こうしませんか……」はい、彼らは道を外れています、多くの人々が実際に、私達は物事を正しくする重大な責任があると言っているからです。 3402 10353 2006-08-30T22:44:21Z Ngb 33 Code {{ proceedings header | type = presentation | title = Contribution Patterns among Active Wikipedians: Finding and Keeping Content Creators | author = Seth Anthony | code = SA1 }} ==Download slides== [[Image:SA1 slides thumb.png|right|frame]] * [[Media:SA1 slides.odp|Download in OpenOffice Impress format (.odp)]] ( B) * [[Media:SA1 slides.ppt|Download in Microsoft PowerPoint format (.ppt)]] ( B) * [[Media:SA1 slides.pdf|Download in Portable Document Format (.pdf)]] ( B) 3403 9851 2006-08-10T04:12:47Z GerardM 7 Presentation on security .. ~~~~ Presentation on security ..

Wikivoices will document and preserve the variety of languages in Nigeria and to render them accessible to the world. The languages will be recorded via a standardized microphone recording procedure and recorded in a lossless format with a high sampling rate so that we achieve two results: one we document the language in its original format and also in the english translation and transcription. Therefore we will be laying the ground for a future use of the data in linguistic research projects and also for instance in automated translation systems.

They only took up one first-floor room, but they managed almost 100 people and a great deal of discussion afterwards. Meanwhile, Wikimaniacs were gathering and lounging about under the portico outside the Harkness Commons, talking much of the day through. By evening, many day-trips had been completed, and all broke for low-key dinners and trips to the airport. As the dorms cleared out, there was still a hint of Wikimania in the air, with shirts floating down the street, and people saying "oh, were you at that Wiki conference?

I'd sing the wiki anthem, but I'm not sure I can remember the words.There are some really good wiki songs, which we were trying to get for the background music but noone was willing to have their music licensed for such a purpose at the moment. So this is Creative Commons music, quite right. So, hello, I am S-J Klein, and I'm really excited to see so many people here today, it's just amazing. I'm really pleased that Wikimania was able to come to Harvard Law School. I want to run down a few notes so that you can all get round at the conference later today. The sessions over this one are going to be in six different rooms. The plenaries are going to be in Austin Hall. [music stops, laughter] Thanks a lot. So we're going to have three sessions today and after this session people are going to break out into Lawson Hall and the first floor in this building with a few discussions upstairs. There is streaming and there are transcripts available online and those of you that have computers can access all this from the conference website. The streaming will be available for three different rooms, this room and a room downstairs and there wil be audio available from one other room. There are a lot of sessions going on i want to give you a really quck recap so that people know ... there are discussions about trust and Wikipedia, abot compuaring contents across differenct publishers, about obtains consensus and what it takes to validate great material. We have the edtior-in-chief from ??? Book to speak on the validation panel, we have Lawrence Lessig talking in Austin Hall just after lunch about the ethics of the free culture movement and a discussion of license compatibility. I want to thank everyone who made this possible and if you see people walking around with staff shirts just grab them and, you know, hug them and if you have any problems there is an information desk just outside here and there will be people walking around and there will be a person in each room who can give you a hand. There are also going to be open space discussions and at the end of this session I'll talk just very briefly about how you can set up your own short conversation. After this session closes, there will be space for people to hang out and talk about whatever they want and arrange their own conversation for the rest of the weekend. A few logistical details. Please make sure you turn off your cell phones when you're in rooms. If you have anything else that makes a good deal of noise and is alerting you that you have to go to the next meeting, likewise. There is a collabarative wiki available, there is a gobby for people that want to have something to edit for real-time transcription. If you want to help out with that, you can access that at clips.media.mit.edu and ... so I think that's all. I'd like to introduce you to Jimmy Wales. Most of you know him as the founder and the face of Wikimedia and the projects. Ever since his early discussions and philosophical debates about what it means and what it takes to run a project like Wikipedia &mdash; rough consensus, running code &mdash; to his most recent forays into the free-culture movement, he's been a real hero to me and I think to many of the people who ended up joining the projects. So, I hope you'll welcome him and I hope you'll all have a great time today and you're all able to contribute back to the conversation you take part in instead of just listening. === Jimmy Wales' introduction (5:45) === I want to start out by showing a little clip of something. [After some technical problems, a fragment from ''The Colbert Report'' is played.] Stephen Colbert: Anyway, while crafting my scathing reply, I forgot whether I usually call Oregon California's Canada or Washington's Mexico [laughter]. So I went to the Internet encyclopaedia ''Wikipedia'' to check their extensive entry on this show. I love Wikipedia. Any site that has a longer entry on ''[[:en:truthiness|truthiness]]'' than on ''[[:en:Lutheranism|Lutherans]]'' has its priorities straight [laughter]. Anyway, it turns out I call Oregon both California's Canada and, on April 6th, Washington's Mexico. But thinking about it now, that's giving Oregon too much credit. They're more like Idaho's Portugal [laughter]. So what I'm going to do is, I'm just going to log on to Wikipedia here and I'm going to change it. You see, any user can change any entry and if enough other users agree with them it becomes true. There. Now, "Oregon is Idaho's Portugal" is the opinion I've always held; you can look it up. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Colbert_Report_recurring_elements&diff=prev&oldid=66945346] If only the entire body of human knowledge worked this way ... and it can, thanks to tonight's word: ''wikiality''. Now, folks, I'm no fan of reality, and I'm no fan of encyclopaedias. I've said it before ... [Fragment ends.] Jimmy Wales: Okay, enough of that, it goes on and on. [clapping] I'm going to talk today about our movement; past, present and future. This is always the most difficult talk that I do every year. As most of you know, I travel pretty much constantly all over the world, giving talks to people that don't know anything really about Wikipedia and our other projects, and this is the one talk each year where I have to give a talk to people who know everything I know, plus more. So, that makes it really hard to do. But what I want to do today, is going back to something that's really old and talk about our fundamental mission. The radical idea behind Wikipedia is for all of us to imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge and that's what we are doing. This is really the fundamental mission of the Foundation. It's the fundamental mission of all our projects and I want to review today where we've been in the last year, since one year ago at Wikimania. I want to talk about some of the things that are going on right now, and I've got a couple of announcements, and we're going to do more of that at the press conference later. And then I'm going to talk about what's coming up in the coming year and the years to come. === Article milestones (9:10) === So, the first thing I wanted to go through, was the milestones. This year, we had several significant milestones. The Swedish passed the 100,000, the English passed 750,000 on September 29th, but then, as you all know, we passed 1 million afterwards in March. The Italians passed 100,000, the French 200,000, Portugese, Polish, Spanish, Japanese, Dutch, all had major milestones. The one that I don't have listed on here, is German. The Germans passed 400,000, but for some reason, on our page of milestones, that one is not listed as one that really counts. But the Germans will have 500,000 really soon. === Quality, Seigenthaler, Nature, Britannica (9:50) === During this year, our traffic has grown a lot. A lot of things happened, we had a lot of news this year. One of the biggest things that you can remember was the whole [[:en:John Seigenthaler Sr. Wikipedia biography controversy|Seigenthaler controversy]]. For those of you who somehow don't know what this is all about... well, apparently, there was an error in Wikipedia. (laughter) Who knew?! So this error was found in Wikipedia, and Seigenthaler who... I will say, it was a really bad error, and it was a terrible thing that was written about him in the encyclopedia. It was fixed very quickly, as soon as we realized it. They dragged me on CNN to yell at me, and that was about here... in December. [http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?&compare_sites=&y=p&q=&size=medium&range=1y&url=wikipedia.org] (laughter) As you can see, it nearly killed the project. Our traffic nearly tripled as a result. So there's a funny backstory to this whole thing. When I was going on to CNN to be yelled at, I had just recently visited at Nature, the science journal. They had shown me an article they were preparing, a study they were preparing. But they showed me under embargo, while I was there, they wanted to get some comments. So I knew this good news was coming out about Wikipedia, but I couldn't say anything about it. So, you know, I was on television, and they're saying "wow, isn't this really dangerous, and scary", and I really wanted to say "well, it's not that dangerous, it's a little bit scary, sure, but...". So the Nature article that came out, basically, they reviewed a block of articles. I think they sent out 50 for review, and they had something like 40... something... good results. They were on selected scientific topics. They selected articles that were roughly of the same length as Britannica articles. And they found an average of around 4 errors per article for Wikipedia, and an average of 3 per article in Britannica. Obviously, we were pleased with this result, but I think it showed people a couple of important things. First of all, it showed people that contrary to the press coverage that we had been getting in the previous weeks, Wikipedia isn't rubbish, it's actually pretty good. It isn't perfect, but it's pretty good. The other thing I think it showed people is that three errors per article in Britannica means that traditional references aren't necessarily the perfect thing that most people imagine them to be. I mean, we as wikipedians doing our work day to day know how hard it is to get things right, and we know how many errors there are in all kinds of different sources. I think that's one of the great lessons that's coming out of this, is that our work is getting better and better, but as it gets better and better, we also begin to realize some of the limitations of some of the traditiona works -- which are quite good. I mean, certainly, I'm a big admirer of Britannica. So what happend in this study that's really interesting, is that we actually, in my opinion, we got pretty lucky. We got pretty lucky because we are stronger in science than in many areas. I think if we had done the same sort of comparison on poets or artists, I think that we would not have faired nearly as well. We come geek culture, we come from the free software movement, we have a lot of technologists involved, and therefore, that's where our major strengths are. We know we have systemic biases, we know we have problems in the sense that a lot of the articles in the humanities aren't nearly as good as they could be. This has gotten better over time, but it's something I think we still need to focus a lot of attention on, even to the point of thinking about how can we bring more people, more good quality editors in to Wikipedia to help us improve those kinds of things. Another element of that study is that reviewers were told to focus strictly on the errors, not style. It was basically fact-by-fact, how many errors do you find, just count them up. Obviously, Wikipedia articles are often wonderfully well-written and in wonderful style, and also in many other cases, they're a complete wreck of style. They're a complete wreck of style because what happens is people are editing editing editing as a group, and they're working on some controversy, and in the process, they work out the controversy, but the article itself ends up looking very choppy and very difficult to read, very confusing for the end reader. That is something that also gets better over time, because what happens is once we achieve some consensus, somebody who is a good writer can come back through and smooth the article out. And of course, they were comparing articles of similar length, so that meant that this was some of our best work, rather than stubs. If they had sort of picked randomly, they might have found for Britannica articles, they might have found a very short article for us. Of course, they might have found the opposite. Obviously, outside of scientific topics, we have huge articles on things like... [[:en:truthiness|truthiness]]... (laughter) that Britannica has never heard of. And I'm just teasing there, we actually have really really great articles on topics like the [[:en:Universal Serial Bus|USB standard]], which Britannica has also never heard of, and it's a perfectly legitimate topic. But my overall point is, although we've always had this overall goal that we should be Britannica or better quality, we all know we're not there yet. We aren't as good as Britannica... yet. And so, I think that one of the things that we can is that, in the coming years, I think one of the themes is going to be, and a big theme for me in the coming year, is a turn towards quality. Especially in English. Also in German, French, Japanese, and all of the larger languages. We can no longer feel satisfied and happy when we see those numbers going up. When you go from 1.2 million articles to 1.8 million articles, what did you add? Well, you added a lot of interesting stuff, to be sure, a lot of [[:en:The Long Tail|Long Tail]] stuff that other encyclopedias aren't going to cover. But I think we also need to be very interested in focusing our attention on improving the quality of the central core topics, and finding ways to make those things better. === Foundation (15:50) === Another thing that has been happening in the past year, is that the Foundation has been maturing. One of the things that has always been true for us is that the projects have always been far ahead of the Foundation's organizational capacity. We started as a very, very tiny organization (that was basically me sitting home in my pyjamas) and that worked pretty well for a while; then I had to get dressed to go give speeches. The Foundation has always been a much smaller organization than almost anybody could imagine given the magnitude of the cultural impact that we are having. I think that's going to continue to be the case, I don't see any reason to think that the cultural impart is going to decline and for us to have an organization to match that, we would have to have, you know, hundreds of thousands of people working in the Foundation. There's no way that's ever going to happen or would make any sense. ==== Grants (17:05) ==== But at the same time, the Foundation is maturing. We're becoming a better run organization, we now have five employees ... is that right? We're finally getting to the point where we can actually begin applying for grants and actually expect to get grant money and actually undertake new projects. Last week I met Jimmy Carter and one of the things that he was talking about is aid to countries in Africa, which is one of his core interests and he was explaining that many of the countries in Africa only receive about 20% of the aid that they are eligible for because they're so confused and busy and just sort of trying to get by that nobody even bothers to apply for the aid. Well, gosh, that just sounds like the Wikimedia Foundation, right? We are all of these organizations out there that are willing to throw money at us and help us, we have all of these ideas for projects, but we have never been able yet to get ourselves organized enough to actually go through with that, actually expand and do some of the interesting things that everybody wants to do. === Brad Patrick (17:55) === About few months ago, in September 2005, I got one of these goofy emails. It said: I'd be very interested to speak with you about your ideas and how they interact with certain ideas of mine. It would be a pleasure to meet you and have a bite to eat. And this was from this character here, which is Brad. And then, you know, it's very dangerous to have lunch with me, because the next thing, you know, you might end up with a job. So, this was Brad on his first day at work. Today, I want to introduce to you Brad Patrick. We've hired Brad Patrick as ... [clapping] Brad is a lawyer, and Brad started out ... his volunteer route into Wikipedia was ... we were at a point where the Foundation was being overwhelmed with legal questions and complaints, you know, none of them very serious but we have to take them seriously because if you don't take them seriously, you can get into a lot of trouble, and really, a lot of these things are really customer service issues and making sure we're doing the right thing by everybody. Brad jumped in and started really helping us with a lot of that, he became more and more involved and so, you know, the opportunity came up that he was thinking of changing his career path and I said, this is fantastic. So we hired Brad as general counsel for the Foundation, but also, he is serving as our interim CEO. He's going to lead a search process, both within the community and outside the community, for a longer-term CEO. But so far, in his first two months on the job, he's doing a spectacular job of actually getting the Foundation organized, getting us moving in the right direction in terms of grant applications and all those kind of things. So, Brad, do you want to say a couple of words? Brad: The part that Jimmy failed to mention about the email, was that I believe the email was dated in August of last year. What I did was invite him to lunch and I found out ... My path to Wikipedia was very simple. A year ago when Jimmy was giving his talk on ten things that should be free and I read in on the Lessig blog, which I have been reading religiously for a very long time. And I said, you know, I wonder where this foundation is. I have no idea, I thought, in San Francisco maybe, somewhere. And I looked and I see it's in Saint Pete, Florida, which is twenty minutes from where I live. I thought, not in my backyard. I need to go and meet this guy, and I need to find out who their lawyer is and I want to be their lawyer. So, in October, Jimmy emails me and says: so, can you call the office and we can set up a lunch date. August, October, so ... in December, we got together and had lunch [laughter]. But it's true, this is an amazing, amazing thing that we're in the middle of and I couldn't get more excited about both the trajectory that's happening and a scale that's really unimaginable. But more importantly, it's the opportunity to work with people and to know that this community is really unlike any other that we're seeing. To be part of the free-culture movement and to be in a position where over the next series of jumps we're going to see astronomical progress and I'm really excited about it. So, good to meet you, please say hi, and thank you. [clapping] Jimmy: Very good. Brad makes it sound like it took a long time to get back to him but that was actually like, you know, he emailed me one day, the next day I was in the office, I answered, the next day was in the office, we had lunch [laughter]. So, it was pretty quick, actually. === Wikia (21:30) === Moving on to other news in our little world. I wanted to talk a little bit about [[:en:Wikia|Wikia]] being funded. So, Wikia of course, as most of you know, is my company building wiki communities, advertising supported, for-profit, wiki communities. I think this is a real milestone, because we managed to raise venture capital. And I say it that way to make it sound like it was difficult, but actually because of the success of Wikipedia, I was in the very fortunate position of being able to take my time and really choose the investors. And what I did was I was really careful to choose investors who were willing to not only just say that they supported the goals of the Foundation and the goals of the [[:en:Free Culture movement|Free Culture movement]], but to actually put that into the investment documents. So we have a commitment from the investors that we are going to be able to support the WIkiMedia foundation in a major way with a portion of the money that we've raised. We are hiring several full-time engineers to improve MediaWiki. So this is really the first time that we've had a large group of programmers in a dedicated effort, directed in a "job" sort of sense, at improving the software. One of the interesting things about MediaWiki is that it's amazingly fantastic, and it's all driven by volunteer development. Brion, of course has been an employee of the Foundation for some time, but there's a whole bunch of work going on around it. But it's very typical of lots of free software projects. It's very creative, there's lots of things going on, but as with, say the Linux distribution, once we have Red Hat to actually package it together, make it neat, make it clean, you've actually got employees paid to do the boring bits. Volunteer developers prefer to do the interesting bits of course. So I'm really excited because I think there have been a lot of improvements that people have wanted in the software that have lagged for many years, and in fact, the total number of people working on MediaWiki is just exploding. And so, I think we're going to have a really big impact on the software, and really make things a lot better for Wikipedia and everybody in the whole community. As a company, we have a total commitment to free knowledge and respect for communities. That's really what the business is founded on... the idea that everything that made Wikipedia successful can now be expanded into other areas of free culture. And that, there can actually be business models to support this sort of thing. So that's basically where we're going in that direction. ==== Campaigns Wikia (24:20) ==== One of the first example projects, I just launched [[:en:Campaigns Wikia|Campaigns Wikia]], which is a project to try to improve the political discourse. I launched this on July 4, so I guess that's very American-centric, but I was thinking about politics that day, and decided to just ahead and plunge in and do this thing I had been thinking about for a while. One of the things that we know as Wikipedians is that wikis can generate very healthy dialog and mutual understanding... when it goes right. Of course, we also have lots of flamewars and idiotic fights over trivialities. But unlike any other medium that I've seen online, having been online and done a lot of things, Wikis really do seem to drive people to understand each other and to build a consensus view. So, I've launched this new project to try to help improve the political environment. I'm hosting local meetups all over the world, everywhere I go, I'm putting my travel schedule on our new world.wikia.com site [http://world.wikia.com/wiki/Jimmy_Wales]. So far it's been really exciting, it's really interesting. I had a meetup in Chicago last week, and all these new people came out, people who had... a couple had been Wikipedians, but most of them were just people who had heard about this, they knew about Wikipedia, and they thought, wow this is really great. So I really love that kind of idea, that beyond those of us who take encyclopedias as a hobby, there's a whole world of possibilities, people who take politics as a hobby, where free culture can start to expand and grow and move in all kinds of different areas. So, for me, that's really cool and fun and that's what I'm working on these days. === Announcements (25:45) === So I've got some announcements. This is the news for today. We'll have some press releases later, and we're having the press conference to talk about all this in more detail. ==== One Laptop Per Child ==== One of the things we're announcing is that the [[:en:One Laptop per Child|One Laptop per Child]] project, which is [[:en:Nicholas Negroponte|Nicholas Negroponte]]'s project over at MIT, is including Wikipedia as the first element in their content repository. The whole concept... Nicholas has been talking about Wikipedia for a long time, in conjunction with the [[:en:$100 laptop|$100 laptop]] project. I've heard him call it... something like, it could be the [[:en:killer application|killer app]] for this device. It's a way for people to not only access knowledge through the content repository, but because these are networked computers, there's a real chance that if we get deeper and deeper penetration all over the world, that we're going to see whole new languages on Wikipedia begin to arise, places where we're currently not doing a very good job. So I'm very excited about the possibility that their project will succeed and we can be somehow a part of that. ==== Wikiversity (26:35) ==== The other big thing that's going on is that the board just approved [[:en:Wikiversity|Wikiversity]]. As most of you know, Wikiversity has been a project that's been under discussion in the community for a very long time. It went through several revisions as we really hammered out what it should look like, what it should be, what the limitations would be. The basic concept of Wikiversity is that this would be a center, a wiki on the web, for the creation and use of free learniing materials and activities. So, Wikibooks works on textbooks, Wikiversity is much broader than that. Wikiversity includes all of the kinds of learning materials which would be... quizes, review materials, tests, all kinds of different things like that. For all age groups, all languages. Also the idea here is to also host learning communities, so people who are actually trying to learn, actually have a place to come and interact and help each other figure out how to learn things. We're also going to be hosting and fostering research into how these kinds of things can be used more effectively. This is a kind of example where there are a lot of interesting things, a lot of interesting research projects that can be funded, where I believe that, with the foundation maturing, we're actually going to be able to get a significant amount of funding to make some interesting things happen that haven't happened yet online, even though people have been dreaming about them for many years. I guess the important things you need to know about Wikiversity is that it's a six-month beta trial period. And we're going to launch in three languages at first, and probably more languages than that if people are interested and get excited. So that's going to launch very soon, I'm not exactly sure the date yet, but within the month anyway. Yay! === The coming year (28:35) === So, what's going to happen in the coming year? I've now given you a little bit of a review of where we've been in the past year, some of the things that have happened. I talked about some things that will happen in the very short term. But now I'm going to talk about more general things, things that we know are going to be happening some time in the coming year. === Advisory Board (28:55) === One of the first things is that at the Foundation, we're going to be creating an advistory board. The Board of the Foundation just approved this concept. The idea here is that we're going to try to pull together a bunch of interesting and important people who can help us with our contacts, expertise, perspectives, prestige, strategic input. We anticipate that the advisory board would be able to help us with partnerships, public relations, financing, technology administration, international matters, and more. I think the advisory board will have a very strong academic component, people who are both very academic, but also have a deep understanding and appreciation for wiki-style free culture. To help us really think deeply about what can we do to improve all of our work, what can we do to improve for example Wikibooks, to have our textbook project stronger, how do we do quality control on Wikipedia. All those kinds of things, we're going to have a more formal advisory board to help us as the Foundation in figuring those kinds of things out. === Wikiwyg (30:00) === One of the things in the software world that's coming, is something I'm very excited about, is [http://wikiwyg.net/ Wikiwyg]. Wikia and [[:en:Socialtext|Socialtext]] are working together to port -- Socialtext has Wikiwyg technology, which is in the Socialtext wiki -- we're porting that to MediaWiki. We're not exactly sure when we're going to release it -- it's a very hard and complicated problem -- but Wikia and Socialtext are devoting some full-time people to the project. My anticipation is that this is going to be a really big part of the future of wiki editing, and a really big part of the free culture movement in the long run. I always like to tell a story. A friend of mine went to Harvard, she has a PhD in ancient chinese literature. She's one of the smartest people I've ever known. And she had never heard of Wikipedia. She joked to me that she can barely use the internet because she's spent the last 15 years living in the 8th century. So, one day she woke up from the 8th century, and looked at Newsweek magazine and saw my picture... she knew me, we went to highschool together. And we got into contact, and she was very excited, she loved the idea of Wikipedia, she loves the idea of sharing free knowledge. She looked up articles about the poets who she studies in Wikipedia. And she thought, well, they won't have anything at all. And she said, oh, actually, you know the articles are pretty good. They're not great, they're pretty good. She said they read -- her description was funny, she said -- they read like an elderly chinese man in San Francisco who loves the old poets wrote the articles. And I said, you know, it could be true, right? (laughter) Because we have a lot of that, we have a lot of passionate people who really care about a certain topic. And she said these articles are good, but they weren't up to date on the latest academic research, they weren't written to include a lot of the information that she would have included. And so she was very eager, she said "I'm going to jump in, I'm going to start editing Wikipedia," but then she never did. And why didn't she? She didn't because she clicked on Edit and she saw some really scary template codes, and this that and the other, and she didn't really know what to do. And so, my belief is, we have... In a half joking manner, for years in the community, when it's difficult to edit, we think of that as maybe it's not so bad that there's a little bit of a barrier to entry, right? But the problem is, that barrier to entry, that technological barrier to entry, it keeps out a lot of really really smart people, like my friend, who are geeks, but not computer geeks. And it doesn't really keep out, you know, other kinds of idiots, right? [laughter] They're very motivated, they learn how to edit wikitext, right, and so then we have to deal with them anyway. So the idea that we're sort of having some sort of an intelligence test by making it hard to edit just doesn't work in practice. So I think that Wikiwyg, in some shape or form, is really the future of the internet. And I think that we can really spearhead that effort and bring it to the public using this technology. So I'm really excited about that, it's a big project, but at least it's finally really moving forward after people have been talking about it for a long time, because we're devoting the resources to actually try to make it happen. === Quality initiative (33:20) === I think that, in the coming year, I think we're going to have a really strong quality initiative. I'm speaking here primarily of the english wikipedia, although the same thing can apply to the smaller wikipedias. I think it's fine for smaller wikipedias to focus to some extent on quantity... we've always been a little uncomfortable with focusing exclusively on quantity. But it's certainly okay if you say, well, we only have 15,000 articles, that really doesn't make much of an encyclopedia, and to say, well we really are concerned with getting lots and lots of people involved, and getting lots and lots of articles. But with more than 1 million articles in english, I think we should continue to turn our attention away from growth, and towards quality. I think the quality of our work should be something we're all very deeply passionate about, and we should really be thinking about how to adjust our social models, how to adjust the software. What are all the things, the little tweaks and tricks we can use to get to a higher quality level. === WP:BIO (34:10) === One of the social things that I think we can do is [[:en:WP:BIO|WP:BIO]]. During this past year, in the English wikipedia in particular, our policies on biographies on living persons have become much more refined, and really a strong focus on higher quality. Part of this is just in response by the community to not just the Seigenthaler incident, but to lots of other similar incidents. As wikipedia has gotten to be larger and larger, two things happened. It's become more and more important, so everybody who's famous, like Stephen Colbert, looks themselves up in Wikipedia. But also, as the project has gotten larger and larger, we're actually writing articles about less and less famous people. So, you can write anything you want about George Bush, but he's not going to call up on the phone and complain, right? He's heard it all. But what happens is we have very minor celebrities and sort of controversial people, they read their article on Wikipedia, and if it isn't good, then they complain, they get upset. There's a sort of typical pattern where I've seen this happen over and over and over... somebody goes to an article, and they see something they don't like in it, so they blank the article. So somebody warns them. And then they blank again, and they get blocked. And then they make a legal threat, and then they really get blocked. And it's just like a totally bad experience for that person, when in fact, they may have been right in the first place. Or maybe they weren't right, maybe they just didn't like what we wrote about them, but still, we didn't handle it well. And I think social policies have evolved in the recent months to actually handle this problem a lot better. A lot of the admins and experienced editors are taking a really strong stance against unsourced claims, which is always a typical example of a problem. So my sense of it is that the living biographies part of Wikipedia, which is one of the most difficult and most important areas, is one where we're really seeing a really massive movement towards higher quality. A lot of people in the community are really committed to that. And the few people still sort of in the old days, saying "well, you know, it's a wiki, why don't we just...", they're kind of falling by the wayside, because lots of people are starting to realize, yeah actually, we have a really serious responsibility to get things right. === Image tagging (36:15) === Another item is image tagging. We've made huge progress in the last year in image tagging. We had some really really problematic categories, categories with images that had no source at all, and claimed fair use. Well, you can't really claim fair use if you don't even give a source. Those have all been virtually eliminated. There's some people who have done some really fantastic work in that area. And it's been a big social battle for people. You know, the experienced admins and administrators who really believe in this sometimes have to go out there and fight with newbies who really don't understand or get it. And they -- I think in the early days, they weren't getting as much support from everybody else as they were. I've seen that change now. I've seen that we've got a lot of support from a lot of people to say that the image tagging has to be nearly perfect, it has to be really good, and we'd rather do without an image than having something that's botched up. There's still a lot of work to do in refining and reforming fair use. There's ongoing discussion about that. The issues surrouding fair use are actually very complicated because fair use is very complicated. But it's also complicated by the fact that we don't want to rely on fair use in cases where we can get a free alternative image. There's many images where we can perfectly legitimately and legally say under the doctrine of fair use, we can use this image, but we'd prefer not to. We'd prefer to instead get a free image and I think there's been a lot of resistance from people who would prefer to sort of be lazy and say this is good enough. But I think that tide has turned, and I think the people working on fair use tagging and the rules for fair use have done a really fantastic job of changing people's minds and making people realize that we should limit fair use to only some very narrow categories, categories where we think it's worth it to take a stand for fair use; fair use is a perfectly good doctrine in fair use, it basically that the rights of copyright holders are not infinite, they do not extend to every possible thing that you might want to do. At the same time though, we only want to use it in cases where it's really worthwhile doing it, and it doesn't actually hinder the growth of free content. A friend of mine loves to upload pictures of baseball players that he goes and takes himself. And you know, his pictures aren't as good as pictures that someone nicked from a website somewhere, a publicity photo. But they're free, they're under a free license, and anyone can use them anywhere in the world for any purpose. I'd rather have an image from a wikipedian that's not quite as good, than a professional image which we can only use under the very narrow doctrine of fair use. We're not fundamentally about having a really pretty encyclopedia, we're fundamentally about having a free encyclopedia, and in the end that's far more pretty, if you ask me. So, we're making progress there, and in my view, in the coming year, we're going to do a lot more. I think by one year from today, we'll be able to stand here and say, other than the daily nonsense that goes on as people are sort of struggling to figure out what a new image is and things like that, I think we're going to have a really good comfort level that our images are all properly tagged and our fair use is not just what's legal for us, but actually a very narrow group of fair use images, which are necessary for us to use. === Stable versions (39:40) === [[:de:Wikipedia:Stabile Version|Stable versions]]... This is an idea that's been discussed a lot in the german wikipedia, and the german press has recently been covering the idea. [http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/netzkultur/0,1518,425434,00.html] There's a commitment to roll out as soon as possible a stable versions experiment on the german wikipedia. Just to make clear, some people were concerned that if I said this in my talk, it would be viewed as a surprise announcement for the german community. I'm not intending to announce anything new that hasn't already been discussed in the german community. So I just wanted to make that clear. Sometimes I say things sort of the cuff, and then people freak out because they think I announce something. In particular, I think the details of this should be widely discussed at this conference. I would love for this to be a really fantastic sort of theme of the evening party conversations, is to talk about, how can we get to stable versions? One of the neat things about stable versions is that they will allow us to move further in the direction of openness. For a long time, we had to just protect articles whenever there was vandalism. There was a rush a vandalism, we had to protect the article. Well, that's a bad thing, so now we've moved to using semi-protection, which is better, because now lots of people can still edit it. But stable versions are even better than that, because it means that we can simultaneously achieve the two goals of allowing anyone to edit anything at any time, while at the same time showing the general public something that's not too frightening. That's a big part of the mission. We have to lock certain articles, because we can't afford to let the trolls make us look bad, but with stable versions, we can actually let the trolls do whatever they please, and we can just block them and revert them. While at the same time, we can show the public a version that's not been vandalized. There are a thousand questions; we've been discussing it forever in the community. But I personally feel that if we don't get this done... you know, the germans are going to do the experiment first... if we don't get this done and rolled out in english wikipedia by the time I get up to do my keynote next year, we're really really making a big mistake. I think this is one of the most important things we can do to preserve the openness of wikipedia, but also improve the quality, and the quality of the experience for the end user. === 10 Things That Will Be Free (42:00) === Last year, as most of you know, I think Brad might have mentioned it earlier... I did "10 Things That Will Be Free". And I looked through my "10 things that will be free" last night, to see how many of those things I could update everybody on. And it was just a few of them, some of the others I haven't actually followed, they're not projects of ours, so I'm not really sure what's going on. At some point, I think it's going to be worth revisiting all ten, and see how they're doing. And it was actually kind of fun to see what I said last year. ==== Free the encyclopedia (42:25) ==== I said last year that in English and in German, if you have a broadband internet connection, our mission is done. I said of course the encyclopedia has a lot of work to do, but it is an encyclopedia, and it is free. And it's pretty good. And also French, Japanese, etc. are not far behind. Now, obviously, Fench and Japanese now I would say, they've passed certain thresholds that I would say, this is a complete encyclopedia, and mission accomplished so to speak. I shouldn't say "mission accomplished". (laughter) That phrase has been permanently ruined, right? It was a perfectly good bit of English, and now it's ruined. ... actually, maybe it's sort of accurate... mission accomplished, but there's still skirmishes every day. (laughter) The fight goes on. So my update on this is pretty much more of the same. We do now have 100 languages with at least 1000 articles. But we're still not doing a whole lot for people in developing nations. The languages that we are good at, we're really good at. And the languages we're not good at, we're making progress, but the progress is unfortunately slow. So my solution is that I propose that the Foundation seek funding to hire community coordinators and recruiters for important languages where we currently do poorly. It's a very simple concept here, which is, in the very early days of English Wikipedia, I was there, [[:en:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]] was there, we were meeting and greeting, we were recruiting, we were emailing people to ask them to help us. In a lot of the smaller languages, of course, volunteers do pick this up and try to do it, but many times, they're talking to much smaller communities. It's really easy for me or for anybody in English to go online and start emailing lots and lots of lots of professors and graduate students and talking to smart people everywhere. It's a lot harder to do that in Swahili. So my view is that we should be looking to hire some people in order to simply do this, to simply be there as the advocate and the coach, to actually go out and look for contributors, to actually meet and greet the contributors, help them, train them, teach them, to actually reach out to volunteers. I mean, I don't think I've ever met a Wikipedian who would say "no" if a language coordinator emailed them and said, actually, there's a professor who lives near you and he would like to edit Wikipedia, but he doesn't know how. Would you go by his office and give him a two-hour tutorial? Any Wikipedian would say yes to that immediately, I mean, that would be very exciting to go and meet someone who wants to work in... Bengali, a very important language where we do very poorly. It would be fantastic to start that kind of outreach program. So that's what I'm proposing that we do there. ==== Free the dictionary (45:25) ==== Last year I said, not as far along as Wikipedia, but picking up steam. And I said it needs software development for support. The current status on that is that there's been some amazing work going on at [[:en:WiktionaryZ|WiktionaryZ]]. If you haven't had a chance to do so, you should go to WiktionaryZ and check it out. You should talk to Gerard Meijssen or Erik Moeller to give you a demo. Ask them to give you a demo of the software, of what they've been working on, and some of the ideas there. It is not yet functional; they need help. They've got people working on it. They've managed to get some funding to get some work accomplished there. It's really exciting stuff. And I think it's going to start be functional later this year. I think before the end of the year, they're going to have something that people can actually dig in and start using. And that's going to be a really exciting thing, because until you've seen the software, I don't think you've really -- at least, maybe I'm speaking for myself -- I never really thought about what it would mean to build a multi-lingual dictionary ''correctly'' until I started to look at the software, talk to Gerard. Brace yourself when you talk to Gerard, because he knows a lot about it, and it's very complicated, and I got lost like ten times. I'm like "Gerard, I don't understand, explain it again?" But finally I got it when he showed me the demo. So I think it's really exciting what's going on in Wiktionary. ==== Free the curriculum (46:35) ==== Last year, I said this was a much bigger task than the encyclopedia. I talked about Wikibooks. And so this year, of course, the status is Wikibooks has gotten a lot bigger, and lots of exciting things going on there. But we now also have the launch of the Wikiversity Beta, and this is an area that the increasing ability that the Foundation is going to have to pursue grants is going to give this project a really bright future. I think there's a lot of interesting things that can go on here. One of the proposals I have here is that we work with people like Taddy Blecher. I met Taddy Blecher last week, and Taddy is an amazing guy. I wish he could be here, I'm going to see if I can get him to come and give us a talk next year. Basically what Taddy does, he runs a university in South Africa that is completely free for all the students. [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/education/4092130.stm] It costs them nothing essentially to go there. And the students come from the very poorest shanty-towns in South Africa. And basically what they do, it's a program where they give them training, education. And they've been very very successful, they graduate about a thousand people per year, people go out and get jobs. One of the conditions that they have for people who come there -- and this is sort of a Habitat for Humanity kind of idea -- is that the people who benefit are actually required to go out and teach other people. And they have a whole program set up to do that. Well, when I talk to Taddy, he said that one of the big costs that they have is learning materials. The learning materials they have are proprietary and expensive. And I feel like that's something that we could help with. I mean, okay, there's educational material that needs to be written, well, this is what we do, we write things. So I'm going to be talking to him about making a proposal to us, and just working with him, and saying... I said to him, I said Taddy, what can we do to help you, and he started to tell me lots and lots of things, and he's going to write all this down, and I'm going to share it with everybody. With Wikiversity, I think this idea of "free the curriculum" is something that has really great prospects for the future. === Questions === ==== Existing companies and organizations (49:25) ==== Question: [unintelligible] aware of your sensitivity to not having vendors, services, to create a little page for themselves. I think some of them have been [unintelligible], [[:en:LexisNexis|LexisNexis]], for example. But some of them are very discreet... their name, one paragraph, and a clip of their home page. The reason I bring this up is because some of us who try and create this open source intelligence, and open source software, and open spectrum environment, it is underlain by very specific sources of information, some free, some not free... softare, some open, some not... and services, some free, some not... So I beg of you to consider allowing a one paragraph listing of sources, software, and services. Jimbo Wales: Okay... It's not up to me, right, it's up to the editors. I think that actually, what you're raising is a very similar question to the living biographies question. Biographies of living people is something we struggle with; biographies of existing companies and organizations is something else we struggle with. And we struggle with it for a lot of different reasons. I think one of the big topics that we will have around the edges in this conference, and particularly for English Wikipedia, is I haven't met an experienced Wikipedian in a long time who didn't say that Articles for Deletion is a mess. It's very contrary to our traditions of kindness and loving and respect for others. Things get deleted that shouldn't, things get kept that shouldn't, the arguments that get made there are sort of strange and don't make any sense. These problems are compounded in the case of organizations, companies, things like that. In general, I think there should be nothing wrong with having a one paragraph summary of... a stub about a company seems fine... if there's verifiable information. But, it's a complex social process, so it's not for me to sort of set my foot down and say we can have a one paragraph article about everything. But people should discuss these things... ==== Software changes for stable versions (52:30) ==== Question: For the stable versions that you talked about, there have been proposals already predating any kind of enchancements in the software, but were you thinking of actual changes to MediaWiki that would support it, and if so, could you elaborate on what we can expect? Jimmy Wales: Umm, I think you can expect that you should talk to Brion... and you should talk to Kurt, and Elian, and anybody else who's here from German Wikipedia. The discussion that's gone in the german community... there's a pretty strong support there for the idea of stable versions. A proposal was put forward to do just the most simple basic possible thing, which is basically just a flag to say this is a stable version or not, that would affect how and when it's displayed. The details are still very much open. The last I heard from Brion, he was good to go to implement it, and then he didn't get answers in time, and things like that, or it would have been done by now. So I think the thing to do, is this is what I think people should really talk about here at this conference. What I would recommend we would do is the absolute simplest possible thing. I think one of the traditions in this community has always been to just dig in and start doing something that is simple but we know sort of works, right? Instead of waiting until we design the perfect system. And I think in the stable versions issue, we've been debating and discussing for a long time, but I've come to realize that the mistake that we've made, is the classic mistake we normally don't make, which is to wait until we think we've figured out everything a priori, and then do something. Instead, I think we should run small experiments, tests, see what works, what doesn't, and be prepared to be flexible and change, and not be too locked into stone about how things should work. How's that for a complete non-answer? Ask Brion, that's a good answer. ==== Free culture's impact on society (54:50) ==== Question: As bandwidth connects hundreds of millions and billions of people around the world, there will be a lot of talent that's looking to be recognized, to gain reputation, and I was wondering if you see ways that WikiUniverisity or potentially similar projects, to build open source plug-and-play components hopefully, for peaceful and civil institutions to emerge from the grassroots up, eGovernment-like components that introduce transparency into economic and social relations. Do you see ways, systematically, that this reputation, or new talent pool, could earn visibility and reputation by adding to humanity's pool of resources of this kind. Jimbo Wales: Um, definitely. One of the things I think we're going to see in the comings years, one of the things we are seeing, is that the cost of communications continues to drop very very quickly. Actually, one of the things I say is that the cost of communications is droping very very quickly in places where the cost of food is not dropping. So, all those people who are starving in Africa, they're going to call us to complain. [chuckles] The idea here though is that as we see communication technologies penetrate more and more areas of the world, more and more people have access, I think there's a natural process that's going to happen, of people who were formerly not able to be recognized, because they didn't have the ability to communicate, to be able to communicate, and to be recognized. I don't know what kind of mechanism... I mean I don't view that as something that is necessarily our fundamental task, although we obviously play a big role in that... If we can radically change the cost of what it takes to get knowledge, which means, not just the encyclopedia being free to everyone, but also all the learninig tools that a person needs in order to be able to use an encyclopedia, that we're going to play a big role in that. But the actual practical things that are going to come out of this are, I think, things that we can't even predict. In many ways, it's like... the growth of the interstate system, which gave rise to all sorts of changes in society, and changes in the way people live their lives, that weren't directly about roads at all. And I think the internet... the... [[w:series of tubes|set of pipes]], I think I heard? [claps] This set of pipes, it's not a truck [audience shouts "tubes!"] Tubes! It's not a truck. This set of tubes has obviously had an impact on the industry that provides the infrastructure, but it's had a huge social impact beyond. And in the same way, I think that free culture does a lot of things directly in the education market, but it's going to have all kinds of implications beyond that are very interesting. === Thanks to the sponsors (58:00) === Before we close, I wanted to really single out and thank our sponsors. In particular, [[:en:Answers.com|Answers.com]]. Is someone here representing Answers.com? I got an email from Bob Rosenschein, their CEO. He's in Israel, and he's unfortunately delayed due to [[w:2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict|the difficulties there]], but he should be here tommorow, and I want everybody to try to meet Bob and thank him. He's always been a big supporter of the Foundation. Amazon.com. The [[:en:Berkman Center for Internet & Society|Berkman Center]] of course is hosting us here. I think when they invited me to become a fellow of the Berkman Center, they had no idea I was going to bring all my friends. [laughter] But here we are. [[w:Nokia|Nokia]], and OSI, both have sponsored to be here, and have brought people from all over the world. [[w:wikiHow|wikiHow]], Jack is probably here somewhere. And, oh, well I can't thank Wikia, because that's thanking myself, but Wikia is also a sponsor of the conference. I hope I got everybody. In the closing ceremony, I'm going to really single out a lot of people who have really made this happen, but I wanted to just say a few words about the sponsors right now. 3413 9920 2006-08-11T05:59:25Z Interiot 706 copy from enwiki {| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="clear:right; margin-bottom: .5em; float: right; padding: .5em 0 .8em 1.4em; background: none; width: {{{1|auto}}};" | __TOC__ |} 3416 9959 2006-08-11T16:28:48Z 213.89.235.236 #REDIRECT [[Archives]] #REDIRECT [[Archives]] 3421 10050 2006-08-13T22:08:52Z Jdforrester 11 Embolden name.

She aims to upload her whole thesis on Wikipedia at one point and leave it open for the community, so that the stubs she starts on her thesis can somehow be filled by other veteran Wikipedians or researchers. She thinks that if she drops the thesis to the community she will have more time to fully experience London for the coming year, while she can also learn more in editing and actually participating more on Wikipedia as an editor.

Collective Intelligence and Knowledge Technospaces | author = Panagiota Alevizou | code = PA1 }} In his seminal book entitled ''Collective Intelligence'', Pierre Lévy offers an analysis of the WWW instruments, such as hypertext (1998: 155-7) to articulate a theoretical proposal regarding the ways humans can potentially access to, collaborate over, and indeed, produce and reproduce knowledge (1998: 215-6). The idea of a technology, and in this case, computer technology that makes possible a shared or collective intelligence originate, from Vanevar Bush and Ted Nelson<ref>In the 1940s Bush proposed a utopian model for a memory machine(memex) as part of the anxiety for making a bewildering volume of knowledge accessible. Nelson’s visions were encapsulated in project Xanadu, which presented the possibility of creating and annotating personal anthologies of texts, connected through associative linking. Both systems placed the ability to create individual structures and personal hierarchies of knowledge.</ref>, and it also echoes Douglas Engelbart's ideas and early designs on software that would 'augment intellect' and enable us to ''think collectively'' [share mental associations] rather than simply haul masses of information around us" (1998: 27). Lévy's vision is deeply posthumanist (1998: x). It expresses an investment on the communication possibilities of networked technology to satisfy the desire for accelerating social production of knowledge. Today, I will attempt to present my critical reflection on Lévy's conceptualisation of the relationship between knowledge and technology. I will combine this with analyses on Wikipedia. I shall concentrate on Lévy's understanding of networked media technologies in relation to universalism and totality, authority and hierarchy, representation and ''cognitive transcendence''. I critically assess much of the cosmopaedic 'knowledge hive' that Lévy envisages by arguing for the necessity of locating such online knowledge forms within the totality of relations that produce them. Understanding such totality not only can defend forms such Wikipedia but also improve their collective purposes. Lévy's theorizing is useful because it reconnects the relationship between technology and knowledge. And in doing so, it attempts to link the ontological with the material dimension of technology and the interfaces that constitute what he defines as ''virtuality'' (Lévy 1998; 2001: 19-22). Lévy argues that the fluidity of meaning generation attached to oral communication and live performance (what he calls somatic technologies) can be re-enacted and also reinvented with digitization. Lévy contends, that digital technology addresses the detail; and as a result, by enabling users to recreate and modify messages at will, this technology becomes important for the message<ref>In an attempt to avert criticism of technological determinism, in ''Cyberculture'', Lévy sees the emergence of cyberspace as accompanying, translating and promoting, the general evolution of civilization. More specifically he argues that 'a technology is produce within a culture, and a society is condition by its technologies. ''Conditioned'', not determined. ... This an infinitely complex and partially indeterminate set of interacting processes, which strengthen or inhibit one another' (2001: 7).</ref>. In a way, this ability restores some of the performative and contextual elements of somatic technologies, like orality. More importantly, these extensive elements can magnify the scope of reading, materialize the senses and re-establish sensibility with context, while preserving the media's power of recording and reproduction (ibid: 49). He uses the example of a hyperdocument that is sensitive to ''contextual change'' because it has been created and restructured in real time by an online network community. Examples can include featured the discussion part of the featured article on posthumanism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Transhumanism) and the Wikipedia community portal. For Lévy, it is this microcosmic treatment of information that constitutes cyberspace. Lévy argues that virtual information is immaterial and can exist beyond specific territories. This can produce a new form of experience in the interaction with the texts and the generation of meaning. It can also producer new means for organizing human groups; contrary to modes of organization facilitated by media technologies (e.g. hierarchical, classificatory, bureaucratic), virtuality can embrace 'human wealth attribute by attribute' to produce large, self-organizing communities. The cognitive perceptions of the members of a knowledge/discourse community taken individually may be incomplete or inaccurate (see Bush 1945/2000) but together they form a trans-active and transitive memory system that shares domains of knowledge. This can restore the level of organicity that defines oral communities. Virtuality is this sense can restore what has never been modern. This for Lévy is arguably a 'new humanism' (Provenzo 1997: viii) "that incorporates and enlarges the scope of self-knowledge into a form of group knowledge and collective thought" (Lévy 1998: 17)<ref>We are passing thus from a Cartesian model of thought based upon the singular idea of ''cogito'' (I think) to a collective or plural ''cogitamus'' (we think) and hence to a collective ontology (from ''ergo sum'' to ''ergo sumus''=we are)</ref>: <blockquote>What is collective intelligence? It is a form of ''universally distributed intelligence'', constantly enhanced, coordinated in real time ... The basis and goal of collective intelligence is the mutual recognition and enrichment of individuals rather than the cult of fetishized or hypostatized communities (ibid: 13)<ref>This notion of 'digital collective intelligence' contends to be egalitarian, arguing for the communication of information between individuals regardless of their social inscriptions.</ref></blockquote> This type of 'knowledge exchange' works against economies of hierarchy, authority and privilege (ibid: 18), through self-creativity and self-advertisement (unlike control of information evident in broadcast and print modes of communication<ref>Far from merging individual intelligence into some indistinguishable magma, collective intelligence is a process of growth, differentiation, and the mutual revival of singularities (ibid: 17, emphasis added).</ref>). The development of new knowledge communities is part of the changing concept of the 'public'; their interactions produce a new form of language and a new textuality that constitutes cyberspace. In a sense this re-incarnates the notion of knowledge as a 'public good' - a notion that originates from the days of St Augustine who argued (de doctrina Christiana) that knowledge unlike physical possessions must be freely shared. As I mentioned earlier Lévy calls this space cosmopaedia. It encompasses linguistic and ontological elements (Lévy, 1997b). Ideally, both its multimodal and dialogic qualities lead to an increase of information in shared electronic spaces. See table: {| border="1" | ! align="left" | genre<br>structure ! align="left" | temporality<br>memory ! align="left" | public<br>private ! align="left" | spatiality |- ! blogs | * journal chronological narratives * Informal * Knowledge, info, personal experiences | * Immediate * Visible time * Record chronologies * Blurring of personal experiences | * public and migratory through rss feeds | * contextual * thematic * threaded discussions |- ! wikis | * highly structured content * evolving knowledge libraries, organic | * invisible time * A-temporal Collaborative, overt * Record chronologies, tagging, comparison | * Public/private * Actors, concepts, instances * Community * migratory | * Threads, themes, associations |- ! social reference systems | * List of shared resources & references. * Use Tags to organise info | * Invisible time.

In ''Wikipedia Unbound'' sections we see a clear sense of conventions and purpose (that of a general encyclopaedia: to provide overview and that of a reference/text book. We also see guides on authorship, editorial issues of currency, neutrality, revision, etc and stylistic guidelines. Let me know go back to the notion of ''cosmpaedia''. Lévy uses the ''social dispersal of meaning'' as a notion that emerges within and makes possible the evolution of 'cosmopaedia'. Unlike earlier visions of global encyclopaedias or libraries (see Wells, 1938; Bush, 1945; and also Rayward: 1997), 'cosmopaedia' is highly dialogical and transgressive of its own boundaries. As 'universal' knowledge becomes the sharing between changing individuals (a product of dialogue indeed, "we are the text" he argues in ''Toward Super-language''), there can be no totality/enclosure possible. But Lévy's understanding of encyclopaedia, the transformation of which shapes cosmopaedia, is both problematic and limited. This is the point that I would like to embark my critique and continue with the limitations of both cosmopaedia and collective intelligence. Lévy understands encyclopaedia as a signifier of the 'circle of knowledge', and interprets it as the 'cyclical interaction of knowledge and learning'. According to this logic, like the circle, encyclopaedia exists only in a single dimension: "It is a line. This figure accurately reflects a knowledge that is mostly conveniently expressed in the form of text, for text is physically linear..." (1998: 215). Because of this linearity and because it is bound in the closed circle (albeit its is often seen to represent the infinite), the encyclopaedia, is a typical form of the totality of knowledge, according to Lévy. Although fixed by the limitations of print, the organization of knowledge in encyclopaedias since the Enlightenment were not ordered by a circle (which was after all the translation of 7 liberal arts), but by the alphabet or by 'tree'-like (and therefore hypertextual) hierarchies between the disciplines<ref>How the structures and selectivity suggest certain ideological assumptions?</ref>. Late Renaissance reference works (like ''Margarita Philosophica'') often presented architectural structures, as though the reader were progressing towards the inner sanctum of truth. Enlightenment encyclopaedias (''Cyclopaedia'', the ''Encyclopédie'') evolved to embrace the notion of 'knowledge trees' demonstrating how the branches of arts and the sciences grow out of the organization of the mind. Some other ones employed geographical metaphors, world maps or a globe. Many of the tree-like or architectural structures were informed by assumption on moral significance (deriving from a Christian sense of virtue like in ''Margarita Philosophica'', which matched the liberal arts with several stages in life). Branching taxonomies in the early modern period abandoned moral significance for a rationale one, while world maps also became popular metaphors for classifying. Francis Bacon promoted this by describing an elaborate division of human learning as an 'intellectual globe' - which also influenced classification in the ''Encyclopédie''. Alphabetical arrangements addressed the problem of recording new flows of knowledge without renegotiating taxonomies in a functional way [some like Lucien Goldman saw this as a moment of emancipation against the intellectual order imposed by the hierarchical schemas], while others like ''Brockhous'' and ''Britannica'' presented hybrid organizations. Wikipedia reinstated this globe metaphor, as a planetary computing grid (see logo) or a neural net...thought the arrangements are also thematic, alphabetical and arbitrary. What I have also found from my critical reading of encyclopaedia's history and from my recent research into encyclopaedias' digital evolution trajectories, is that generic conventions and the ordering of knowledge goes side by side with not only the available media technology, but also with the symbolic meaning and commodity status of encyclopaedia as a self-education medium. In other words, taxonomies reflect specific ideological assumptions and are directed by commercial or other incentives. Wikipedia presents knowledge as collections of (verbal and visual) ideas that can arrange themselves into a kaleidoscope of both hierarchical and associative patterns (see structures and main portals in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page). There too we see a combination of the popular, the current, the arbitrary and the hierarchical. Aiming to address some of the criticism over factual inaccuracies, superficiality and lack of integrity, some of the content is starred as 'Featured Articles'. These are what the committee believes to be the best articles in Wikipedia. They are reviewed by scientific committees of experts for accuracy, neutrality, completeness, and style according to featured article criteria. Working on improving 'the quality' issue, some within the community (contributor and mailing list administrator) push further for a scalable page rating system, which unlike an editorial committee, will scale with the contributor base and will highlight areas in need of attention or validation. This somehow echoes, Lévy's ideal figure of knowledge in cyberspace: "collective intellects" he argues, "are effectively capable of constructing their own cosmopedia", (1998: 216), aiming in 'mutual recognition and enrichment' but also striving to "ensure success in our highly competitive environment (ibid: 1). Lévy aims to establish the relationship between ontology and epistemology that was abandoned, as he claims, since E. Kant, by illustrating that "there are as many qualities of being as there are ways of knowing" (1998: 215)<ref>Lévy contends that 'cosmopaedic knowledge brings us closer to the lived world ... our relationship to knowledge-filled representations can simulate our aesthetic relationship to the world by integrating elements of sensibility, imagery, even its imaginary dimension' (1998: 216).</ref>. A questions then rises: what are the factors motivating contributions to open source production of goods and does this relate to the 'quality' of contributions to such goods? Inspired from such analyses of cyberspace Jaron Lenier (2006) articulates a general attach on distributed cooperative networked information production and specifically on Wikipedia. He has two driving concerns. The first is the loss of individuality, the devaluation of the unique engaged individual responsible for a system of information and knowledge. This is an issue that Lenier argues diminishes quality to the mediocre. The second concern is more space bound: Lenier questions metafilters and formations of the 'hive mind' as another part of the information economy. I shall draw again on Lévy to conflate these points and defend Wikipedia, but also raise my own concerns (see also Blenker, 2006). An answer to Lenier's first point, I suggest, may come from what Lévy considers as the 'non-separation', interpretative continuum characteristic of cosmopedia: <blockquote>For collective intellects knowledge is a continuum, a large patchwork quilt ... the cosmopedia dematerializes the boundaries between different types of knowledge. In place of the fixed organization of knowledge into discrete and hierarchical disciplines - or the chaotic fragmentation of information and data - there now exists an unbroken, dynamic topology... a pluralistic image of knowledge, the cosmopedia is the mediating fabric between the collective intellect and its world, between the collective intellect and itself. (1998: 217)</blockquote> This unrestricted view of Cyberculture against economies of hierarchy and privilege aim to promote social production as part of the struggle against the 'information superhighway' model of the Net, and for the re-democratization of cyberspace in opposition to commercial economies, zoning and segmentation. This can become actual through cosmopaedia that repeals homogenization to heterogeneity. What we see in Wikipedia is that individuals cluster around topics they care about, diverse discourse communities that link and talk through page histories, watch lists and topics discussions. We see a range of choices developing different paths for conditioning what issues are relevant and salient, through distributed systems that while imperfect, is less easily corrupted than mainstream media. Wikipedia is not voiceless, as Lanier contends. We see expressions of personality in the talk, discussion pages, not least in the Wikipedia unbound pages. Wikipedians do not forget the conventions of an encyclopaedia. Rather they attempt to use technology in order to accelerate cognitive transcendence and social production of knowledge. We see alternative notions of authorship in section on 'editorial control' in page histories and in topic discussions, alongside nuances of considered opinions and structures that formulate the normative beliefs of the wikimedia organization. Following the employment of selection criteria, strategies are now in place to freeze articles in order to prevent tempering and violations, while those articles that do not meet any of the selected criteria are nominated for removal. Regular users set up watch lists for articles they care about, so they are notified immediately for new edits, while others chat online on ongoing issues, from article details to general policy. Often balancing between alternative and mainstream, (between Big Brother and eBay), wikipedians perhaps aim to appropriate collective consciousness and mutual recognition for enrichment and cognitive transience. What's great about Wikipedia is the fact, as Larry Sanger argues, that it offers a way to organise enormous amounts of labour for a single intellectual purpose (2006, n.p). That sense of purpose I think is transparent in both layout, and in the rich context of many articles; in this sense it cannot be faceless; its participants develop persistent identities around definitions and taxonomies (see Foucault, 1989). But connecting personality and personal responsibility with the idea of authorship, in the way Lanier does is like claiming that 'real authorship' is the royalty-bound copyrighted authorship that is beyond the public good ethic of knowledge that Wikipedia attempts to promote. Having said all that we must not be oblivious of the challenges that articulations of collective intelligence and cosmopedia hinder. In this sense I tend to agree with Lenier that, there it is not always clear that this notion of information and communication is anything else than the liberal counterpart of the 'information superhighway' (see Kelly 1992; 1999; also Day 1999: 266). Information here is reduced to being a mode of communication, and it remains structured by formalized horizons of language and technology, which evade the fact that indeed information networks and the Net, emerged from the political and economic conditions that are very closely connected with the rest of industrial society. Our collective intelligence emerge within specific media and technological infrastructures and platforms that have specific biases. If it is to avoid overthrowing academic and publishing elites for a new media-savvy and literate elite, we need to interrogate Wikipedia in terms of its social and political properties and limits. Much of Lévy's definition of cosmopedia evades investigating in detail the different properties of different communicative devices or constructive spaces<ref>Rather than something completely new, the Net/Web has intensified, as Robins and Webster (1999); argue, previous trends (namely capitalism) of the industries, such as telephony, media and computers, which converged to create the Net (see also Terranova 2000: 40-42).</ref>. By assigning virtualization to a new space of textuality, Lévy fails to interrogate technology (or the different information technologies) in terms of their social and political properties and limits. So long communication is viewed in terms of tokens of information by subjects who are defined in terms of presence and representation, avoiding to investigate the social relations that enable communication and information sharing, in their totality, then understanding the interplay between language, knowledge and technology and defining their ideological boundaries remains difficult. Lévy's 'information utopia' can be inspiring for grasping the cultural ethic of wikimedia and the blogosphere. But as much as this essentialist approach enlightens some elements of the cultural interfaces of the Web it also obscures the clear relationship between the Web, digital knowledge forms and the rest of the industrial society<ref>Rather than something completely new, the Net/Web has intensified, as Robins and Webster (1999); argue, previous trends (namely capitalism) of the industries, such as telephony, media and computers, which converged to create the Net (see also Terranova 2000: 40-42). Much of Lévy’s line of thought, as indeed the common rhetoric which dominates both cyberlibertarians (e.g. Kelly 1992; Kelly 1999) and the discourse on the information society captures the existence of networked immaterial (collective) labour, but also neutralizes the operations of capital (see Terranova 2000; 2004), or as Robins argues, it 'represents the attempt to reconcile political idealism with the corporate reality principle' (1999: 20). This tradition of thought highlights more importantly, the scale of value in a knowledge economy, the dominant state of and assumption about knowledge in the post-industrial</ref>. Here we need to be reminded of two things: firstly, that cosmopedia is an attainable utopia and not a condition completely actualized yet. And secondly that the relationship of collective labour with the construction of knowledge as a public good, rather as a commodity. This new modality of social production of knowledge enabled by the combination of social software, digital media and peer to peer collaboration offers new opportunities for encapsulating not the universal (global) ideal of enlightenment but the emphasis to the local and the particular relationships of posthumanism. To address constraints and challenges appropriately me need to consider offline collectivist efforts at dis-intermediating formerly top-down systems on education. ==Endnotes== <references/> ==References== # Blenker, Y.

Many do not reach their full potential through a lack of focus or leadership; others fail to attract stable contributors due to inadequate policies or promotion. This situation can be improved. Variations in topic, audience, and technical ability demand differing approaches when building and managing wiki communities. I provide concrete examples from two: [http://creatures.wikia.com/ Creatures Wiki], based around an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creatures artificial life simulation for children]; and [http://furry.wikia.com/ WikiFur], an encyclopedia for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furry_fandom furry (anthropomorphic) fandom]. I show community solutions to issues arising from [http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/WikiFur:Policies_and_guidelines policy decisions], such as the inclusion of [http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/WikiFur:Personal_information information on community members], and describe approaches to disruption, including legal threats, proxy attacks, and influxes of visitors – and vandals – from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Something_Awful popular websites]. I discuss the variable applicability of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines Wikipedia’s policies], as well as effective methods of online and offline [http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/WikiFur:Promotion promotion], recruiting, [http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/WikiFur:Advertising advertising], and monitoring of visitors and contributors. I outline effective uses of [http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/WikiFur:Featured_articles/Complete featured material] on the front pages in driving regular contributions and traffic, and note the importance of personal leadership and [http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/WikiFur:Administrators delegation]. I conclude that a respected community reference site can be created within half a year. ([[Proceedings:LP1|summary, PDF and audio versions]])</div> <div style="float:right">__TOC__</div> ==Introduction== For those of you who just dropped in – despite the track title, this presentation is not about Wikipedia, nor is it about a Wikimedia project. It is intended for people who have decided that there should be a place outside Wikimedia for their community, and who are preparing (or have begun) to build one. You may also be a member of such a community who wishes to take on a bigger role in guiding its future development. But why would you want to build such a wiki in the first place, and why would such wikis be successful? The answers are simple: the wiki provides (in most cases) a persistent storage for community history, while at the same time the community provides a ready pool of eager, knowledgeable contributors for the wiki. Prominent examples of successful topics for community wikis include Star Wars/Star Trek, Transformers and the Muppets. Indeed, such wikis have been far more popular than those on generic topics. Why can these people not be happy on Wikipedia? Hands up anyone who’s had an article they worked on deleted from Wikipedia for non-notability, or because it relied on material that hadn’t been “reputably published”? OK, now, hands up anyone who’s voted for an article to be deleted from Wikipedia for the same reasons? Do you really want a complete listing and description of all four hundred unofficial additions to a computer game last released in 2001? Some people do, to be sure, but most would argue that shouldn’t be in a general-purpose encyclopedia. I myself would prefer to have universal access to such information, but there is another reason to separate it – it is easier to focus on a topic when you have an entire site dedicated to it, and allows the creation of more in-depth articles that can be reintegrated at a later date. It can also remove a large source of arguments from the Wikimedia projects. There is a personal factor to it as well. For those of you who chafe under Wikipedia’s policies, this is your chance to make a wiki the way you think it should be, about something you’re really interested in. Of course, you may find that some of those restrictions were there for a good reason . . . but at least you’ll have the chance to find out for yourself. And, who knows – perhaps you’ll find a better way of doing things along the way? Why listen to me? Well, I’ve done it – twice. At the end of December 2004 I became the main contributor and de-facto founder of the newly-created Creatures Wiki, one of the first wikis hosted by the service then known as Wikicities. This wasn’t my first introduction to wiki editing, but it was close. I worked on the site for over six months, doing much research into past events. Given the state of the Creatures Community, which had languished for several years, I suspected it wouldn’t really get that much traffic, but didn’t want to lose its history. As it happens, people are still playing the game, and the site gets 200 visitors a day. I’m not actively contributing to it anymore, but it lives on through others. More about that later. In July 2005 I moved to Michigan to work for Stardock. I found I had a lot of time free in those long, summer evenings. Naturally, I did what any wiki fan would do – I started a new project! At the time, Wikipedia had maybe forty or so articles on the furry fandom – the community who enjoy the genre of anthropomorphic art and stories. Earlier in the year, I had noticed that long arguments over relevance and had broken out on pages related to the furry fandom. I also noticed that there was no central information point for the fandom – there were many art archives, link lists, and the like, but no one place where you could go to look up the name of the guy who founded Anthrocon, or find lists of furry people, media and LiveJournal communities. So I decided to do something about it, and WikiFur was the result. You can too. The things I about to suggest here are just that: suggestions. They may not be the only way to do things, but they’re the way it worked out (or, in some cases, didn’t) for me. Your mileage may vary! If you’re interested in learning about other perspectives on community management, look for Meatball Wiki – it’s a fine place to start. ==Starting the wiki== ===Hosting the wiki=== If you’ve not chosen where to start your wiki, now’s the time. The main question is whether or not to use a specific wiki hosting provider (also known as a wiki farm). There are many options, and the one you choose will depend on your technical ability, intended licensing and how much (if anything) you are willing to pay for it. The good news is, people will inevitably criticise you later for whatever you choose, so go with the solution that works best for you. After all, if they cared that, much, they should have founded it themselves! Wikia worked for us. I won’t say that there weren’t times when it would have been convenient to have more direct access to the servers. On the other hand, zero hosting costs for a website that gets 10,000 hits/day and rising isn’t at all bad, and having an expert to handle the server side can leave you to manage the community, which is ultimately more important for its success. ===Names and branding=== [[Image:WikiFurLogo300.png|right|155px|WikiFur logo]][[Image:Wiki.png|right|Creatures Wiki logo]] Names are important. Keep it simple. If people cannot figure out what your site is about from the name, you probably want to reconsider it. Try not to reuse someone else’s name, either. Wookieepedia is a good one – but note that it was initially known as the Star Wars Wiki, which worked well enough well to start with. For the wikis I founded: Creatures Wiki seemed like the best choice, though we had many suggestions (Creaturepedia, Wikicreatures, and CWiki). Conversely, WikiFur seemed the only appropriate choice – FurWiki just seemed odd, while Furry Wiki sounded generic, and most of the other names I considered were not obviously furry. After a name, you can try thinking up a few slogans. “WikiFur: By Furries, For Furries, About Furries”, for example. You need a site logo, too. You may not have the skill to make it yourself, but you can usually find someone in the community to make one for you, maybe for free (competitions are great for this). Choose something distinctive and meaningful to your community. Keep it simple – ideally, someone should be able to look at it from ten feet away and say “oh, that’s [Wiki X]”. It should be obvious, but make sure you have the rights to use the image, and not just on the site. Who knows what you may want to do with it later? ===Leadership=== In the end, a lot of it comes down to the founder – who I’m assuming here is you. You must have belief in yourself – you must think that founding a wiki is the right thing to do, and you are the best person to be doing it. At the same time, you must believe that it is important (nay, essential) for others to contribute as well. After all, you would not be making a wiki if you thought others had nothing to offer! In a way, it helps if you are not already a full expert in the topics that your wiki covers. That way, you can avoid the temptation to meddle too much and imposing your opinion on others. It can also make researching the initial articles more fun. However, I would not recommend trying to run a wiki on a topic that you are not personally interested in, and could not ever see yourself being interested in. Even if you’re getting paid for it, you may find it hard to get sufficiently motivated, and if not you’ll probably find you get bored and wish to leave before your task is complete. Passion about the topic is a good thing. When I said initial articles, I mean a lot of initial articles. Make no mistake; you will be doing a lot of writing in the first days, weeks, and probably months of the wiki. This is known as seed posting, but it’s far more than just seeding with information; you’re also laying down the foundation of the wiki’s style and content guide. Future contributors will look at what you have written and write more of the same – so if you have a particular layout in mind, now’s the time to implement it. ===Mission=== The Project:About page is the first page I write. Why? Because you must have goals to work towards, otherwise you have no mission which others can join in with! There are literally hundreds of dead wikis out there that have no focus, and no contributors. The goals you set can be optimistic, but they must be measurable and achievable, otherwise you will lose any sense of progress. Condensed examples: * Creatures Wiki: "A complete listing of all Creatures breeds and addons" * WikiFur: "Be the most comprehensive site for furry fandom information" You must also make some attempt to define your audience and contribution pool. If you do not do this, then people will not feel empowered to make edits, nor will they know what they should be writing about. I believe it is best to be inclusive, especially in the early stages. You don’t want a promising contributor to go away because they feel that their contributions will not be appreciated. ===Initial policies=== The best advice I can give on policies is to avoid writing them until you’re sure what they are. For a few, you may be able to decide straight away how you want them to be – indeed, they may be so obvious as to seem implicit, though what is obvious to you isn’t necessarily obvious to others. One that springs to mind for most sites is “no personal attacks”. Others are trickier. For example, your community might be sympathetic to a particular point of view, such as belief in a certain deity. In this case, a “neutral point of view with exceptions” policy might apply. One thing you should also specify at this time is your license. Some choose Creative Commons licenses; others prefer the GFDL, particularly if compatibility with Wikimedia projects is desired. Some wiki hosts have their own policy requiring you to use a particular license. Write a page explaining what it means to contributors and those wishing to use your content: what their rights and responsibilities are, and who they can go to for more help. Once you come to a consensus about other policies, write them down. It’s important to strike the right tone with policies. You have to write on behalf of everyone, but without sounding too stuffy – unless your community is like that! ==Maintenance and expansion== ===Attracting and keeping contributors=== The most important thing to remember when attracting contributors is that you are trying to create a relationship between visitors and the community. That starts the moment they arrive on your site. Most people form an impression within the first few seconds of their first visit. You want the first thing they see to be “Welcome!”, and the next thing to be a reason to stick around for a while. Welcoming users and making them feel at home and part of your community as quickly as possible is perhaps one of the most critical reasons for monitoring recent changes. Put simply: welcomes are not minor edits. I have always resisted the urge to template the welcome – for non-anonymous users, anyway – because I feel that it is important to type out the welcome and personalize it to the user’s contributions. You can never tell who will become your next star contributor. One of the features in the newest version of MediaWiki is the MediaWiki:Anonnotice, a site notice shown only to anonymous users – which will including most new visitors to your site. If you have such a feature available to you, consider using it to guide them to your featured content, help, and community portals. On WikiFur, we use the MediaWiki:Anonnotice like this: :''Welcome to WikiFur! Check out our Featured articles, the Comic of the Week, and our Did you know? section!'' This is mostly in case they don’t come in at the front page – most people come into most wikis from deep links or search results, so you cannot guarantee that they will ever see it). Of course, you should make the front page. Name it something relevant for search engines (e.g. “Creatures Wiki Homepage”, “WikiFur Furry Central”) and head it up with a site map of quick links that lead to rapid access of large amounts of content. Search engines love links to large category pages. Users, on the other hand, may like their hands held, especially if you want them to become contributors. Give them all the assistance you can with custom help pages written to their expected level of expertise, and in a friendly example-heavy style. For the details, direct them to Meta/Wikipedia, which does it far better than you will be able to. Just remember to warn them that not all Wikipedia policies apply. After you’ve shown them around, give them somewhere to work out of, and something to do. The community portal is the best place to start with – it probably isn’t as visited as some would like, but you can often tempt new editors in there to give them a good idea of the options available to them. Fill it with useful links to news, policies, tasks to be performed, wiki projects to be a part of and the like. Make sure they know where to turn to for help. The last thing you need to do is let them talk to one another and form social relationships with their fellow editors. Forums, LiveJournal, chat channels, mailing lists, offline meetups – they all contribute to a sense of community. For the times when private conversation is desired, offer , particularly for yourself. You need to be reachable. I’ve personally had people email me, private message me, IM me (through every client possible), even phone me up once to warn me of a vandal attack. I’ve also had long chats at conventions. Different people prefer different methods of communication, so try and offer them all. One of the benefits of running your own wiki for the community is that usually the group of contributors is small enough that it is a true community where you can get to be familiar with just about everyone else. It rarely reaches the point where you have no idea who people are. Of course, the downside to that is that you will probably encounter situations where editors have past issues. Make it clear that you expect them to shelve these issues while editing and you should be OK. ===Customization=== [[Image:WikiCustomizationCategoryBars.png|right|Small touches make a big difference]] You may (nay, should) choose to customize MediaWiki to your community. It doesn’t have to be much, just enough to give your site a unique flavour. In particular, altering the images used in the site interface will add a touch of the community to your wiki. MediaWiki and other wiki engines are very configurable. Play with them. Due to my almost complete lack of graphics skills, I tended to restrain myself to little touches, like incorporating greyscale images into the MediaWiki category bars (insert examples from Creatures, WikiFur, Wikia), but if you have access to someone with the ability to do major customizations, consider using that. Be careful to ensure that usability is maintained, though. For example, for various reasons many people dislike dark backgrounds on websites and may complain if you implement one. You can, of course, choose to ignore them, but you risk losing their contributions. Your site’s content should not be overshadowed by the framework. Remember to check what resolutions your users are using and ensure that your main pages at least work for them, on a variety of browsers. It’s not good if 10% of visitors think your site is broken because they’re using 800x600 and you require 1024x786, or if you make use of a feature that causes half the page to disappear on Firefox or IE. <div style="clear:both"></div> [[Image:WikiFurFrontPageScreenshot.png|left|thumb|300px|WikiFur front page]][[Image:CreaturesWikiFrontPageScreenshot.png|right|thumb|300px|Creatures Wiki front page]] <div style="clear:both"></div> ==Dealing with problems== MediaWiki provides numerous tools to aid you in dealing with problem users. Learn how to use them, and make sure your fellow administrators know how as well (you do have fellow administrators, right?) ===Find others to help you=== Actively seek to promote contributors who know what they are doing and who are familiar with how your wiki works. If you place trust in people, you will generally find that they honour it. There are exceptions – but the reward you get from the rest is worth it. Note that you should try to avoid promoting anyone to a long-term admin position on technical ability alone. Usually by the time you are considering it they will have participated in conversation with other contributors. It should be clear whether or not they understand “the wiki way” and agree with the community’s policies and guidelines. If in doubt, it is probably best to wait a little longer and see. ===Vandalism and spam=== Most wikis are subject to some level of what is termed “vandalism” – defamation, obscene text or pictures. For many, this may be limited to people “testing” the wiki (or its administrators). There may be cases where someone has a personal grudge and decides to take it out by editing a wiki page about the topic (which could be a problem if the topic is someone who can sue for libel). On the other end of the scale you may have a controversial topic (such as politics, abortion, or furries) that people have widely differing views on, and which attracts a large number of editors who are not willing to work with those from other viewpoints. Some people just like attention. A situation that can be particularly devastating is when someone at a large, popular website or forum puts up a link to your wiki and says “go mess this up”. Depending on the technical ability of the visitors and persistence of the message you may find that you need to exercise vigilance for several days following the posting. Of course, a crisis can turn into an opportunity. A few days after I first started promoting WikiFur in August 2005, we started getting a mass of edits from a variety of IP addresses from around the English-speaking world. At first we thought we were getting hit by someone with access to a list of unblocked proxies, but the highly varied nature of edits made it clear that this was not the case. [[Image:WikiFurSomethingAwfulTraffic.png|center|frame|Something Awful: One edit every 45 seconds. What would you do?]] A short while later, we figured out the source – a link to WikiFur had been posted on the Something Awful forums, and within hours it was featured as the site's "Awful Link of the Day". Now, this may not be what you might consider an ideal promotion. However, the way we saw it, we had two options: * Lock the wiki down tight – no anonymous edits, possibly no new user accounts or no non-admin edits at all, and wait it out * Meet them head-on – welcome the new users, encourage them not to vandalise, and deal with the people who would inevitably ignore that We chose the latter option. I promoted a few more of our better users who had already been trying to revert the vandals to administrator status, and we brought in a few more temporarily from Wikipedia. Several of our current admins have told me that they became involved with the site defending it from attack. Spam is a lesser problem, but one which affects everyone sooner or later. There may be server features or extensions that you can use to help with this, either by filtering out spam, blocking known spam hosts, or adding a captcha system to editing. Your best defence is an active base of contributors available to block and revert spammers. ===Internal conflict=== Most wikis involve disagreements now and then. As the founder, you are the default arbitrator, and if you’ve been doing your job, you will be seen as having some authority. Expect to be looked to for a solution, and try to make decisions that have something in them for everyone to agree with. You should however encourage people to help you out in deciding – you don’t want to be the only one making the calls, and you need some to back you up (or to tell you when you’re doing something wrong). Prefer discussion over voting, at least to start with; you can always call a vote when you have several options available to you. If in doubt, look to Wikipedia’s guidelines. If your decision makes policy (likely for most of the difficult ones), write it down, but try not to over-generalize it otherwise it may be misapplied. ==Promotion and advertising== To many people, promotion is a dirty word - just one step away from the dreaded advertising. However, the simple truth is that unless you promote your Wikia in some way, it will have no visitors; nor will it gain regular contributors. Your wiki needs these contributors. They will not appear by magic. Someone needs to lead them there. To attract attention to your well-written seed postings, you need to create interest in the wiki through targeted promotion. Unfortunately, this is one area in which recruiting others does not appear to do it for you; as the founder, you are viewed as the official voice of the project and therefore you are expected to write the official “press release”. At best, they may check over what you’ve said or help you distribute it, maybe make some graphics if you ask nicely. Not everyone is cut out for this role. I certainly wasn’t when I started. However, even if you’re not a natural speaker you can (and should) give it a go. Consider it an exercise in role-playing! If you don’t feel up to it right away, the best way to start is to concentrate on the seed posting – then at least you have something to show to people. ===Communication=== Forums. LiveJournal. IRC. Whatever already exists, go out there and establish a presence. Hopefully you know where the people are since you’re a member of the community. If not, find them. Get in contact with major community leaders and discuss the project with them. They may be in a position to help you out. Give presentations at conventions and other meetings. Leave messages on notice boards. ===Ways to promote your wiki=== There are many avenues for promotion, most of which take very little effort. Most existing communities have forums on which you can post, and you should include links to your in forum signatures as well. The foundation of your site alone may count as front-page news for smaller communities. Once you’ve got going and are clearly a valuable resource, ask major community website owners to consider adding a link to your wiki. If you have a page about their sites, so much the better! Chat rooms, newsgroups, user groups and vendors may also be valid targets for promotion depending on your situation – I even modified the main Creatures community chat client to convert wiki-links to links to the Creatures Wiki. Furry fandom has many forums – too many to really have an impact posting in one of them. However, we had a good response from posts to the many furry LiveJournal communities out there. Again, you go to where potential users and contributors are. You should never stop seeking opportunities to promote your community’s wiki. You might think that after a while you get to the point where you have “enough” contributors. However, people do leave, and you need promotions to encourage new users to come in to replace them, as well as to remind older members that you are still around. You may also decide that you want to cover more topics, and so need to expand your base of contributors further. ===Wikipedia=== A special note about promoting on Wikipedia – it can be a good source of contributors, but tread carefully. Try adding links in article sonly to prevent articles being created on Wikipedia for generally non-notable topics that are relevant to your site’s topic. Use interwiki links, if possible – it looks better. Don’t go spamming links everywhere, especially if you don’t have good material at your end. If you notice something relevant being voted for deletion at Wikipedia, consider offering to transwiki it to your site. Finally, if you have articles that are generally notable on both sites, do port back and forward as appropriate . . . but keep the non-notable details (for example, biographies of the people involved in a convention) on your copy. ===Creating promotional material=== [[Image:WikiFurAC2006Flyer.png|right|thumb|300|Flyers can be a great way to promote your wiki.]] There are two main sorts of promotion you can do – promotion to attract contributors, and promotion to attract users. You can combine elements of both, and indeed it is probably a good idea to do so. Contributor-oriented promotion involves inspiring others to join in. You are asking people to make a significant investment of time and effort in your project. You must therefore explain why they should do this. What problems will your wiki solve, in the short and long term? What is your vision for the site? You should have brief answers to these in the material, and back them up with longer answers on the site itself. You should also describe how they can help, remembering that each potential contributor has different skills and talents. Appeal to their sense of worth by explaining that only they can provide the information you seek (this may well be true, especially if you’re looking for personal information). For the visitors, you have a slightly easier job – explaining why they should bother looking at your site in the first place. Emphasise the breadth of topics that you cover within your specific focus. Tell them a story, and include interesting links as you go. Just make sure that you’re sending them somewhere good – stub pages are not good advertisements. For example, I set up a forum thread on Gameware’s community forums entitled From the Creatures Wiki , refreshing it with regular updates over the first few months of the site’s lifetime. My posts were long and link-heavy, written in a conversational style. The thread was cross-posted to several other forums, including major German and French community sites. Not only did we manage to get the company to sticky the post on their forums, we also won endorsement (and a few edits) from the game’s creator, Steve Grand. You can’t buy that kind of publicity. Writing promotional material can also be a great opportunity to give your contributors some recognition for their efforts. While contributors are often very altruistic, many contribute at least in part for the recognition of their work by others in the community. Seek out your best contributors and reward them by mentioning their efforts. You can find this information through the use of a statistics package, the standard one being Eric Zachte’s Wikistats. Remember, the best promotional tool is excellent content. Sites will link to it, search engines will index it, and people will come back for it again and again. ==Advertising== [[Image:WikiFurAdWords.png|right|AdWords is one fairly cheap method of advertising]] There are many ways to get visitors to your website. One of these is paid advertising. Some sites may never need this. For others, it may be a critical part of the process of gaining visitors and contributors. You can get a lot of attention very quickly if you’re willing to spend a lot. Of course, there are some things that are worth more than any amount of money . . . but for everything else, there’s Mastercard. ;-) The big question is, is it worth it? The answer: It depends. How much can you afford? How cheap is the advertising on offer? Is it possible to focus your adverts to those who will be most interested in them? Can you get a community-specific deal? This isn’t a search engine optimization tutorial, but a few simple pieces of advice are to use specific phrases rather than general ones and to carefully monitor their effectiveness. You can burn up a lot of money to no good effect if you are not careful. In my view, Google AdWords is better than its main competitor, Yahoo Search Marketing. They get a lower rate of clickthrough per impression, but they provide more impressions, can have lower rates, and from my experience the users that visit go on to view more pages. However, they still go on to view fewer pages than those who arrived by searching and clicking on a content link in the search results. Remember that just because your site is online doesn’t mean that’s the best way to reach your contributors. WikiFur placed paid advertisements in convention books and distributed flyers, because that was the easiest way to reach large numbers of people. ==Monitoring== [[Image:WikiFurAnalytics.png|right|300px|Analytics is a good method of monitoring a wiki]] You want to know how you’re doing, right? The best way to judge success is to measure it, whether by wiki-specific stats like the number of active users, articles, edits, links or images, to website statistics regarding visitors, page views, referrals and search engine rankings, to the general reputation of your site and its mention in publications. All of these pieces of information can be used to plan further improvements, and they can also be very useful for constructing promotional material. Monitoring your site’s reach and popularity is a tricky task, but there are tools available to help you out. If you want statistical measures, you need a log analysis tool like AWStats, Analog, or Webalizer, or an online version like Google Analytics. The most critical feature is the ability to track referrers, so you can see what other people think of your site when they link to it (if you get a link to a forum home page, do a search for the name or URL of your site). You should also consider a Wiki-specific tool – for MediaWiki, the standard is Erik Zachte’s script. LJSeek and other topic-specific search engines. You can find some interesting things through referrer tracking. I have found unsolicited praise, interesting questions, unanswered concerns (which I attempted to answer) and what are best defined as “hate group” sites planning to attack us. You can also find such things through search engines, both generic web engines like Google and more specific searches, like LJSeek for LiveJournal. You can also just try asking people what they think – the results may surprise you! Keep in mind that popularity is not everything. Don’t expect to be the number-one site in your community within a month – or a year, or ever. Set appropriate targets, look for steady growth and you will not be disappointed. [[Image:WikiFurWikistats.png|center|frame|Wikistats gives you a detailed view of your wiki]] ==Policy== As for the features of Wikipedia, you can afford to pick and choose. Many of the social aspects of Wikipedia are inappropriate for a smaller, closer community. However, most of the features that enable visitors to access the content (such as featured articles and the did you know? system are very useful. Similarly, most templates and layouts are readily usable piecemeal. There is little reason to pass up the opportunities provided by Wikipedia in this respect, unless you have an incompatible license (in which case ideas but not implementations should be used) In particular, avoid implementing systems that require a high level of technical competence from your users to contribute. You are unlikely to have that luxury. Even if your contributors are generally competent, they are unlikely to be able to do that. To take a specific example, I attempted to implement the Wikipedia featured article candidate system on WikiFur in order to devolve my control over that portion of the site. The candidate system is optimized for Wikipedia’s high throughput and puts a significant burden on the proposing user, who must create a separate sub-page, justify their proposal on that page, and then use template syntax to include it on the featured article candidate page. Put bluntly, it didn’t work. The system failed to attract any significant contribution, although (judging from complaints over controversial topics) there was clearly interest in which articles were featured. A few months later, I implemented a “Comic of the Week” section which had far simpler rules, in part due to the above failure. It has generated regular edits. I believe this is because of the low cost of entry. Offer your contributors tasks at every range of technical ability – then they will always find something that they can do. Do not expect them to do something you haven’t asked them to do or shown them how to do – but congratulate those who do. More generally, understand that just because another wiki does something one way does not mean you have to do it the same way. It may be a good idea to have something similar, but the ideal implementation for your community will only become apparent through experimentation – so be bold and try things out, while making it clear that the policy is not yet final. Policies are tricky, too. Some have wide applicability – for example, “no personal attacks” is a generally accepted standard on most wikis. However, this does not extend to the neutral point of view, Wikipedia’s “absolute and non-negotiable rule”. Indeed, all three of Wikipedia’s content-guiding policies can be inappropriate for some wikis; it may be impossible to verify details of a convention with anyone but the people involved, and “original research” may well be a stated feature of the wiki. Both Creatures Wiki and WikiFur have, for now, tried to adopt the neutral point of view, while at the same time accepting that certain topics may never be verifiable or may only consist of original material. Unlike Wikipedia, we feel that we "equipped to judge whether their particular synthesis of the available information is a reasonable one" , because a significant proportion our body of contributors are composed of experts in the field. Whether this applies to your own wikis is up to your community. ===Personal information=== The neutral point of view is most often applied in reference to articles about people. Why? Because this is the information that is most often challenged! One thing that we’ve learnt is that even in generally friendly communities, some people don’t like other people. Sometimes they don’t like them enough to write up nasty information about them. Often some of this is true, just not the whole story, but usually it’s just unsubstantiated opinion. We sometimes have to deal with the reverse – people being overly complimentary towards themselves or (more often) their friends. Personal information is probably the leading cause of arguments between contributors. Why do we continue to include it? Because people are community! Both the Creatures community and the furry fandom have individuals who have done interesting things. It makes sense to record their contributions. However, it also encourages people to write about themselves and their friends. Someone once told me that they considered WikFur to be a “stalker site”. WikiFur has already been used to find links between people and characters that they might not have wished to be apparent , though for the most part this information is available elsewhere. On the other hand, several other people have said that they found it useful to be able to look up a person on the site. We might get concerned if people started posting other people’s addresses and phone numbers, but this hasn’t happened . . . yet. We actually ended up deciding to allow most people to remove the articles about them, or to restrict them to their own editing, as long as this was clearly indicated at the top of the article. There are always going to be exceptions to such a policy, and sometimes they are valid - for example, should people who have committed crimes be allowed to hide that information? In cases of disagreement, like everything else, try to work towards a compromise that everyone can live with. ==Importance of community== <div style="float:right;margin:5px;">[[Image:WikiFurCardFront.png|200px|WikiFur contributor card front]]<br>[[Image:WikiFurCardBack.png|200px|WikiFur contributor card back]]</div> I think a continuing community is vital to the success of any group endeavour. So what happens when you start out with a reasonable base, but don’t actively seek out a long-term community or take steps to continually add to the mix of users? I tested this (accidentally) by creating the [http://galciv.wikia.com/ GalCiv II Wiki] just after the release of the game. I was actively there for about a fortnight, laying down some structure and the format of the front page, and then I left it to its own devices. I still welcomed people, if I happened to be passing, and I remained open to help requests on my talk page, but I didn’t make a habit of visiting every day, and I didn’t write any new articles. The result? It was rather like a slow nuclear reactor – it ticks over, with random bursts of activity, but it’s just not got the right material to start a chain reaction. There are edits every day, but maybe just one or two of them, out of 500 visitors and 5,000 pageviews. There are a few who take the time to add content – but they remain few, and when they leave, they are not easily replaced. The [http://creatures.wikia.com/ Creatures Wiki] has done better. It consistently has over ten constructive edits a day, sometimes far more, with less than half the number of visitors. It has a group of people who care for it. While not all contribute regularly, they will drop in every few weeks to make an edit or two. There are leaders who actively help others without being asked, and combat the inevitable spam. It is a small yet stable community in itself, and ultimately, that is what is important. Individuals matter. Wikipedia has 25,000 regular users – you have 5 to 50. One good contributor can make or break the site, and they won’t join you if there’s nothing for them to join in with. Without community, all you have is a static page database which people visit now and then when they’re looking for something. That’s no wiki. Therefore, encourage users to become part of the group, through LiveJournal posts, forums, talk page discussions, etc. Offer help, if they need it; don’t wait for them to ask. Do what you can to keep people on the site – but, if they are determined to go, let them. Nothing spoils a wiki more than a user that does not agree with the site’s mission or philosophy. One example of this philosophy in action: WikiFur’s contributor cards. They are simple but distinctive, contain personal thanks from WikiFur’s administrators, and provide a sense of community to their bearers. They act as a reminder for people to edit every time they look at it. They are relatively cheap - $70 or less for 1000 cards. They can also be worn in the same way as convention badges – free advertising! ==Conclusion== What should you take away from this? *Community wikis are a good thing. **They permit thousands of people who might otherwise never have tried wiki editing to join in, in a less formal editing environment than the official Wikimedia projects **They provide a place for information useful only to a relatively small number of people, rather than forcing it to be deleted **They allow a deeper understanding of the topic that can be ported back to Wikimedia or potentially referenced from it at a later date **They are a great expansion of the mission of free information for all *No problem is insurmountable **Vandals? Find quality contributors and empower them to deal with it **A lack of contributors? Gather more from existing community areas **If there is no community, you can build one – it just takes time **Personal disagreements? Look to Wikipedia for tools and policies for dispute resolution **Too successful? Consider managed wiki hosting, ads, or donations *Anyone can start a community wiki **The most important factor is passion for the topic **Be prepared to spend a lot of time starting up **Devote a significant amount of time to attracting other contributors **Delegate power and responsibility when feasible (but no sooner) **Don’t take things too seriously – it’s meant to be fun, after all! :-) ==Copyright== [[User:GreenReaper|Laurence "GreenReaper" Parry]] is the primary author of this work.

Note: These are not exact words - I've tried to keep them verbatim as possible, but I'm trying to get the things that capture the gist of Betsy's speech. The title of my talk is Schwdinger's wiki. My husband who's a physicist said, "you're calling this WHAT?" 1. Media attention Betsy spoke briefly about the "quantum impact" of the attention of media. You change the content just by looking at it, and media attention has this kind of effect on any interactive community. The first type of challenge mentioned was the Vandal Wave: the example given was the "swiftboating" edit war from 2005/11/29. Vandal Waves come from media attention when many people are trying to edit (in conflicting and something factually inaccurate ways) the same article. How did the conflict start? There are 95 pages in the "Wikipedia controversial topics," and any of them could have generated a vandal wave given the right kind of media attention. Swiftboating is a term that has a vague connection to a type of boat that was used in Vietnam. There was a debate about which definiton (of many wildly varying ones) was correct. The page was created in 2005 August, and between then and Nov 22 2005, there was almost no edits whatsoever. But at 15:23 on Nov. 29, something happened. In the ensuing 10 minutes, the article got more edits than it'd gotten during the first 3 months of its history. [Displays graph of edits to Swiftboating article] [Shows examples of Swiftboating edits] which are things like: * changing "accurate" to "inaccurate" (completely flipping the meaning of the article) * Addition, removal of POV tags * deleting entire paragraphs and replacing it with the single word "BUNK" * putting juvenile language in the paragraph Audience question: What is vandalism? Betsy: [Note: I missed the answer, can someone fill in?] Back to Swiftboating: What happened? "It began with examples that linked to published sources, as per wikipedia guidelines. WThe article was blogged by Joshua Micah Marshall in "Talking Points Memo" and it got posted on swiftvets.com, where someone encouraged people to go and edit the article." "What I'm calling a vandal wave is quite different than multiple edits by a single vandal. We have a lot of experience with single vandals [and how to stop them]. The challenge with multiple vandals is that it is set off by a media event. You can't just block one IP, more come in its place. It degrades your experience of wikipedia if you are a new user. You come in and you can't have the pleasure of being able to add a tangible edit of your own." "In contrast, the "Swiftboated" article page got no media attention, no vandal wave: the conclusion is that this is set off by media." [Shows graphs of similarly vandlized stories and their posts over time, graphing IP editsside by side by named edits. It's clear that you see a huge spike in IP edits when the vandalism starts.] [Explains the Adam Curry podcasting scandal, and how the Podcasting and Adam Curry user categories spiked at the time of the vandal wave] Wikipedia has bots. Betsy talked about her favorite, pgkbot. Bots try to figure out if this is a user that's been banned, vandalizing, etc. to alert people of possible problems. In this instance, somene created a username called "JEWS DID WTC! lol jews. lol internets". pgkbot blocked the IP, sent a "try again" message attempting to dissuade them. Use code to detect the problem, use code to deflect the problem. Audience comment: You do realize that people that make usernames like that don't expect to keep that name? Betsy: Not one person who made their first edit to Wikipedia on Swiftboat during the vandal wave went on to become a regular contributor. How can we detect vandal wave? Two obvious metrics: * time between edits by different users * surge in ratio of ips to registered users Showed a graph with a spike on 10/6 (what happened here?): this is not a vandal wave, because you can see that all of the edits were made by users, this was a response to a major event [didn't catch what]. The second challenge discussed was the Spin Wave. The example given was the congressional edits in early 2006. "People will pay professional writers to blog or write about their product in a positive light. You can get paid to it - in fact, there is a site called paidtocomment.com that gets people to do just this." Conclusion: Jimmy Wales: "It's an encyclopedia, not an experiment in democracy." BUT * It's not just about facts, it's about code (that makes the editing and detection of those facts possible). * It's not just about words, it's about numbers (time between edits, ratio of ip edits to named edits, other metrics that you can use). 3632 10651 2006-10-18T03:36:10Z 209.94.128.108 Slides in [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Wikimania2006_CL1.pdf PDF] 3633 10654 2006-10-18T03:56:35Z 209.94.128.108 John Siegenthaler was not the first to declare Wikipedia as having "incurable flaws" as a source of information. Anyone can add to and edit the online encyclopedia, which makes it commons-based peer production—an economic expression that describes endeavors such as Wikipedia as well as open-source software such as Linux. Anyone contributing to Wikipedia has their opinion available in what has the look of an authoritative context, with the danger exacerbated by the enormous and growing audience of Wikipedia, so that one person's opinion is simultaneously magnified and lent an air of legitimacy. Whether the subject is the life of John Siegenthaler or the Roman Empire during the reign of Marcus Aurelius, this much seems obvious: Wikipedia lacks the credibility of traditional sources of information. That current lack on the part of Wikipedia does not, however, mean that such a flaw is incurable. The purpose of this paper is to study the phenomenon of commons-based peer production in general and the epistemological issues particular to it, as well as to suggest possible courses of action to cure Siegenthaler's flaw, whether within Wikipedia or in future projects that take advantage of its model, while maintaining the valuable aspects of Wikipedia which make it so attractive both within and without academia. There is some issue about whether Wikipedia lacks credibility or lacks acceptance among the community of experts. As was reported in Nature, "Wikipedia is about as good a source of accurate information as Britannica, the venerable standard-bearer of facts about the world around us." This disconnect in perception and what it means for the question of credibility in the digital humanities requires special attention, given that Wikipedia engenders apparent animosity and resistance among professors, librarians, and other traditional educators. The university must address this issue and the apparent lack of importance it assigns to Wikipedia, even as open-source software development gains more penetration into the academy. Something must occur within the academy to counteract willful lack of attention for what has grown to be an enormous cultural and social artifact. Yochai Benkler forwards an admonition for all scholars who casually disregard the 17th most popular location on the Internet: "That we cannot fully understand a phenomenon does not mean that it does not exist. That a seemingly growing phenomenon refuses to fit our longstanding perceptions of how people behave... counsels closer attention, not studied indifference and ignorance." Indeed, Wikipedia is not going to vanish, despite any supplications for it to do so. The peer collaboration paradigm has established popularity both in the intellectual realm and the economic. But, more than just being attractive, peer production offers some real benefits, as much in academia as it has already done in software development: For academics, peer production provides a rich area for new research. Peer production, like the Internet, is just emerging. While there are some studies of peer-produced software, there is little by way of systematic research into peer production processes more generally. There is much room for theoretical work on why they are successful, as well as the potential pitfalls and the solutions that, in principle and in practice, can be adopted in response to those pitfalls. The role of norms, the role of technology, and the interaction between volunteerism and economic gain in shaping the motivation and organization of peer production are also projects. It is surprising how little research—outside of economic and software development—has been done on this type of peer collaboration project, given its novelty and efficacy. In the case of Wikipedia it is especially disturbing, as this means criticism toward it has little in the way of academic research to back it up. That is, ironically, the same variety of criticism leveled against Wikipedia—that its material has no verifiable support and is thus merely opinion. This paper was initially drafted six months ago, while the Siegenthaler scandal brewed. Scholars have begun to assign more importance to the study of Wikipedia since, and their critiques have grown more nuanced. Some of this criticism is justified, but some is unsuitable, coming from educated people writing and speaking on the topic of knowledge. First, and least excusable, is the vitriolic response. The amount of emotion tied up in the evaluation of Wikipedia is startling, given that it is fundamentally an intellectual debate. There have, for years, been indications that Wikipedia has some quality as a source of information—at least enough for the debate itself to be legitimate—and yet it still evokes comments like: "For now, however, it's the chasm between Wikipedia's rude claim to be an 'encyclopedia', and the banal reality of trashy, badly written trivia that causes so many people to be upset about it." Upon reflection, it is exciting that there is such emotional investment on the part of critics, because this is a purely intellectual topic. The debate about Wikipedia is a debate about the nature of knowledge, and the role of credibility and subjectivity in shaping information. It is heartening to see that a conceptual topic elicits such fervor. That this is a question of what constitutes knowledge is the root cause for the territorialism of the academy. The PhD is not a membership badge for an exclusive club, but a symbol of intellectual integrity and learning. Getting published among academic journals is a conventional, highly esteemed method of demonstrating such integrity and knowledge—the collaborative nature of Wikipedia, with its resultant authorless articles, is thus a problem. As Nora Miller notes in her paper, "Wikipedia and the disappearing 'author,'" the "idea that any reader can also add, change or even delete another writer's document makes some writers uncomfortable." The esteem for experts must be championed among the academy if higher education is to mean something more than just the possession of a rare and valuable trinket. The Pleiades Project is notable in this respect. Recently begun and extremely well funded, it is an attempt by the Ancient World Mapping Center to create an atlas of ancient Greece and Rome using peer-collaboration techniques. They acknowledge, in their Narrative for Sharing, that "the collaborative approach of projects like Wikipedia can be seen to downplay the individual contributions, thus deterring participation by scholars who need individual recognition for tenure and promotion. Established processes of peer review and editorial oversight... were developed by the scholarly community to help assure quality." Authorship and the ability to trace attribution is thus a legitimate concern with peer-collaboration projects. Then, there's the less excusable territorialism caused by a loss of economic value. Oft-repeated, pointed remarks about Wikipedia by editors of traditional encyclopedias rarely include a proviso that "publishers of other encyclopedias, especially the Encyclopedia Britannica... have a commercial interest in undermining the use of this free online resource so are not completely neutral." Just as with free software, there is resistance against free information, not solely because of high-minded paternalism on the part of academics, but also as a result of monetary concerns and simple fear of losing a market. Such territorialism can be compared to the Catholic Church's demand that the Bible be interpreted through the expert class that is their priesthood. Likewise, some of the attacks against Wikipedia are elitist demands that the creation and dispersal of academic knowledge be firmly controlled by a particular class. Hopefully, this analogy will prove instructive rather than predictive. But many of the responses indicate sober resistance in the realm of credibility, which must be addressed as Wikipedia and similar projects grow in size and significance. "The intuitions of the late twentieth-century American resist the idea that thousands of volunteers could collaborate on a complex economic project." And though Benkler spoke of the high-tech business world and not scholarly pursuits, the traditional view of the university is that it is less efficient and less well financed than powerful high-tech corporations. As such, at least from a view of competition between sources of knowledge and not from a purely intellectual frame, the success of commons-based peer development in the software world should worry academia. "It certainly should not be that these volunteers will beat the largest and best-financed business enterprises in the world at their own game. And yet, this is precisely what is happening in the software industry." To put this in perspective, "17 Mistakes Microsoft Made in the Xbox Security System," one of the papers presented at the 22nd Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin, can be utilized. "17 Mistakes" was a sober and professional postmortem wherein hobbyists explained to a quarter-trillion dollar company the mistakes they made with their four billion dollar platform. It was a dialogue of equals, and the language is remarkable given the last hundred years of corporate success in the United States. One venue of improvement to the Wikipedia paradigm is to involve universities in official capacity for academic auditing of Wikipedia entries. But Wikipedia's appeal is not simply as a collection of articles on the Internet. It is an intellectual community and the very causes for concern are also the causes for popularity. Any attempt to impose outside standards—even long-held standards—and prevent or limit the amendment of articles could prove disastrous to Wikipedia. And this is assuming that the community around Wikipedia would even condescend to take part in such a partnership. Similar difficulties also arise from the opposite side: Convincing members of the academy that they should take part in something like Wikipedia is not easily accomplished either. A respected and busy professor, with published works and degrees aplenty, is not usually clamoring for collaboration with an inconsistently educated mass of people whose opinions are all considered equal. Contemporary society insists that certain people in certain subjects have superior credibility and that "credibility is a question of quality by some objective measure that the individual adopts for purposes of evaluating a given utterance. [It is what] an individual requires in order to use utterances of others in putting together the user's understanding of the world." There should not be any need to convince academics to contribute to a project that so many others contribute to, apparently, for the love of knowledge. Much to the puzzlement of economists, "usually, the question of why anyone would contribute to a peer production enterprise without directly appropriating the benefits is foremost in people's minds." Wikipedia was borne of the open-source movement and epitomizes many of the tenets of that movement. Linus's Law, that "Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow," is utilized within Wikipedia not to find software bugs but to find incorrect bits of information. Along with this is the open-source maxim to release early and release often. The philosophy behind such desire is to place the work into the commons and therefore expose it to the possibility of an enthusiastic volunteer with relevant knowledge. Together, these two ideals of peer collaboration produce the kind of article so many think populate Wikipedia—half-complete and built by committee, with expertise trumped by mass. As Roy Rosenzweig states in the Journal of American History, "Overall, writing is the Achilles’ heel of Wikipedia. Committees rarely write well, and Wikipedia entries often have a choppy quality that results from the stringing together of sentences or paragraphs written by different people. Some Wikipedians contribute their services as editors and polish the prose of different articles. But they seem less numerous than other types of volunteers. Few truly gifted writers volunteer for Wikipedia. Encarta, while less comprehensive than Wikipedia, generally offers better—especially, more concise—writing. " And yet, with its incomplete and flawed articles, Wikipedia's appeal is enormous and continues to grow. ComScore Networks ranks the Wikipedia group as the 8th most popular on the Internet: "Wikipedia has emerged as a site that continues to increase in popularity, both globally and in the U.S. Wikipedia's popularity demonstrates the global power of the Web to unite and provide information across countries and languages, but the full extent of its global appeal is only measurable through this new worldwide measurement," Mr. Daboll commented. The disdain shown for Wikipedia among the traditional scholarly community, primarily university professors and librarians, is unseemly. Most common of the critiques of Wikipedia are that it is subject to bias, and so it should not be used as a sole, or even credible, source for a paper. It is remarkable that the university would react so provincially. Granted, as with all bibliographical references, Wikipedia should not be depended upon as the only source of information, but it should also not be so cavalierly derided. Instead, the philosophic motivations for Wikipedia should be cheered inside the academy. The attempt to create an enormous, multilingual encyclopedia with participation from what are considered the historically underrepresented should be applauded. That Wikipedia originated outside of academia is a telling sign of the decline of the university as an institution of higher learning and its shift toward vocational instruction. Partnership between universities and Wikipedia would do well to restore the ideal of the university as a place for knowledge and not simply professional preparation. To be sure, Wikipedia needs to focus on improving scholarly credibility, but not as much as scholars need to be involved with Wikipedia. This is because Wikipedia will continue to grow and improve, with or without help. Much of the reason stems not out of intellectual revolution, but rather a response akin to that summed up by Dr. Paul M. Johnson in his definition of 'The Division of Labor' from his glossary of Political Economy Terms: It is worth noting that, while economists tend to emphasize the immense production- and efficiency-enhancing effects of a complex, geographically extensive, and highly specialized division of labor and the markedly higher average standard of living it makes possible, anthropologists, sociologists, and social-psychologists (as well as many philosophers, artists and social theorists) tend to focus more on other presumed non-economic side-effects of greater social differentiation that they typically view in a much more negative light -- such as the development of a diminished sense of wholeness or personal authorship that may result in lessened emotional satisfaction from one's work; greater difficulties in generating agreement on moral principles and a sense of social solidarity or "belongingness" when the far-flung members of society live their lives in such varied ways and develop such diverse interests; the insecurity of the individual's social status when people are no longer assigned their place in society but must continually compete with others to retain or improve their own social positions; the loss of the sense of community mastery over one's fate that comes with dependence upon distant and unknown people for the provision of most of one's vital necessities, and so on. Wikipedia, along with other community-based sites, reaps the benefits of operation via division of labor, and serves as much as a social link as it does an educational resource. Its accumulation of featured articles will culminate in what is known as Wikipedia 1.0 and its common popularity—already cemented—will continue to be reinforced by positive reviews of its content in comparison to more traditional encyclopedias. By offering support now, academia could speed up that growth and expose professors and students to the very real intellectual issues involved with the presentation of knowledge via new technologies, as well as remind them of the apparently forgotten issues of traditional knowledge expression. To be clear, the proscription commonly made to anyone surfing Wikipedia—to be wary of the bias of the one providing such information—is an excellent one. However, that sort of critical thinking should be incumbent upon any knowledge-seeker, especially one in an academic environment. That such a reminder is necessary makes clear the lack of emphasis placed upon students who look uncritically to peer-reviewed journals and the lectures of their professors. Which is why any discussion of rectifying flaws within Wikipedia must also include the recognition that constant editing and availability for criticism is integral to any commons-based peer production. While it may be the best course of action to freeze an article upon achieving some kind of academic approval, Wikipedia's article possess and must maintain their dynamic nature. Already, the talk pages for Wikipedia articles are the place for meta-discussion relating to the subject of the article. If the article itself was audited and declared to be accurate, and then maintained for consistency, it could promote greater activity in the talk pages, so that knowledge-seekers can more explicitly engage with the perennial question of, "Who are they and why do they deem it as such?" The other common refrain for using Wikipedia, that it should not be considered a primary source and used as such in a paper, bears attention only for what a terrible straw man it is. In the words of one librarian, "Wikipedia may be helpful at times, but you don't want to rely on it as your only resource because you won't necessarily get the 'full picture'... Of course, if you're a librarian, you already know how critical it is to use more than one resource. But do your customers?" No academic paper should have a single source, and the use of Wikipedia for particular dates or explanations of scientific or social theories should be promoted in support of information found from other sources, just as use of other sources should be encouraged by students whose research begins at Wikipedia. The current emphasis on specialization in the university presents Kafkian barriers to knowledge outside the discipline of the everyday undergraduate. The well-reasoned and intelligently presented summaries of such knowledge as Quantum Theory or Deconstructionism within Wikipedia should inspire students to be more interdisciplinary and therefore more synthetic in their thought and should be promoted, not dismissed. The linked nature of articles in Wikipedia already promotes the kind of cross-fertilization of which proponents of interdisciplinary in the university can only dream. Any criticism of Wikipedia must acknowledge that the sometimes scattered layout and nature of Wikipedia entries supports this kind of interdisciplinary understanding, and furthermore, must focus on maintaining a respect for those that creating Wiki content. As Benkler purports, "it is easy, though unjustifiable, to forget that information production is one area where we have always had a mixed system of commercial/proprietary and nonproprietary peer production…. At some things, the nonproprietary peer production system of the academic world is simply better." It may be that the commoditization of knowledge within the university, with its focus on patents and journals, has been a not insignificant cause in the growth of commons-based peer production of academic knowledge. As the university becomes more of a proprietary business, society naturally seeks out a new form of nonproprietary peer production. The pursuit of knowledge for its own sake is appealing to people—if nothing else, the existence and vibrancy of Wikipedia proves this alone—and when that can no longer be accomplished in the university, then people will look elsewhere. And since society will never adhere rigidly to university protocol or widely read academic journals, it is the social responsibility of those within the university to make sure that popular sources of information are as accurate as possible. Such an engagement in knowledge creation and fact checking would serve to teach critical thinking during undergraduate education, an activity that would naturally result in a more critical appraisal of Wikipedia by those that use it most. The underpinning worry that "the fluid nature of Wikipedia's content has led educators and others to question the resource's accuracy" is not that the educators are not critical in their own studies, but that those being educated are not. Wikipedia is not in competition with scholarly journals. Drawing from traditional peer-review techniques is good but the encyclopedic nature of Wikipedia means that there is more in line with library science and fact checking than peer criticism of the kind necessary for cutting-edge research. As is a common refrain with all peer production, there must be some mechanism to correct flawed self-assessments and it is this process, still in its formative stages, that deserves a critical look. By establishing the credibility of the process, one spreads credibility to those that take part in the process, who may not individually be considered credible enough for their opinion to be considered valuable. That way, the question, "Do you really want to rely on a resource that 'anyone can edit' when you have people... relying on you to come up with accurate information..." can be answered ‘yes’—not because it has been ascertained that all contributors are experts, which is impossible, but because it has been ascertained that the system is as resilient as possible. Of primary concern in the development of such a process is that the contribution of academics would be necessarily critical and not creative. The current critical air of scholarly reaction to Wikipedia is, overall, valuable. Criticism and its response, such as the response on the part of Wikipedia to the Siegenthaler scandal, lessens the "potential for cacophony," and therefore makes Wikipedia less of, "an encyclopedia with no serious claim to authority or accuracy other than revision after revision, always subject to new errors benign and otherwise." The continuing focus on citations, more and more predominant in Wikipedia, helps combat a natural weakness of a Wiki: "As a contributory form, the current state of a Wiki is at best a compromise, a shared, collective, fluid work that reflects the biases and perspectives of the contributors in a more overt fashion." By adding critical, academically-trained members to that compromise, it moves toward a more sober and academic treatment of information—the benefits of which are felt by society at large. Likely the most common action for the academic will be trimming an article and criticizing its writing, sources or conclusions Alternately, there is room for procedures to highlight the article for the community at large and allow the community to perform the improvement of an article deemed lacking. This already occurs in an unofficial capacity, wherein an article on Wikipedia will be criticized and the community responds to the criticism with effort to improve the article. From a scholarly sense, such a case of auditing and approval would naturally have to end with the article frozen upon completion and further editing disallowed. This model is not entirely antithetical to the nature of Wikipedia; there could also be introduced 'meta-windows' within the article whose title and information are determined by the community. In this way, a reader can be made aware of current controversies or unconfirmed theories regarding the subject. Inclusion of community consciousness is necessary because commons-based peer production requires strong community consciousness for success. Another option is not to subscribe to propose anything so rigid at all but something more in line with the nature of commons-based peer collaboration. "It is important to understand that integration requires some process for assuring the quality of individual contributions." And, perhaps, that is all the university should be to Wikipedia, following the lead of IBM and its support for Linux. In this case the university would have a volunteer-based role in policing Wikipedia, whether Wikipedia likes it or not. "Practically all successful peer production systems have a robust mechanism for peer review or statistical weeding out of contributions from agents who misjudge themselves." The academy becomes this mechanism for peer review, assuring the accuracy of information—not for the contributors to Wikipedia, but to the millions of visitors that utilize it. "Wikipedia is wildly popular. It looks nice, it's easy to use, and its entries often provide useful links." Unless some radical shift occurs, this popularity will grow—and not as an American or Western phenomenon, but rather a global one. Regardless of how the relationship is developed between the education sector and this new, open information movement, it must be done. This normalization of relations between the university—specifically the humanities—and Wikipedia must take place alongside normalization of other commons-based peer production with the software industry, where "technical issues [are] secondary or even irrelevant to the principle concern of liberty." and with it, the evolving legal understanding taking place with knowledge and technology. "The current heavy focus on strengthening intellectual property rights, Benkler notes, "is exactly the wrong approach to increasing growth through innovation and information production if having a robust peer production sector is important..." The university needs Wikipedia more than Wikipedia needs the university. One continues to be wracked with real scandals and real questions of credibility, while the other seems to shine under honest examination. More than latching on to the popularity of Wikipedia, though, it is necessary to cultivate affixation, and here I speak as a member of the university and of society, to the intellectual idealism of the project. Volunteers are building a repository of knowledge, and debating topics that should make any academic proud: "The 'Neutral Point of View' page is indeed revealing of how explicit and central to the project the social norm of objective writing is." Surprisingly, despite competing with video games, pornography, television and music, there exists an incredibly popular website where, "perhaps the most interesting characteristic... is the self-conscious social-norms-based dedication to objective writing." Given the penetration of the Internet into modern society, it would seem that Wikipedia should be championed by any intellectual if for no other reason than because it is, to paraphrase Churchill, the worst usage of the Internet—except all the others that have been tried. That is not to maintain, as is evident in this paper, that Wikipedia is only worthwhile based on such low standards, but that such a bias can be reconciled with the biases of those who only see the value of Wikipedia as instructional in its antithetical nature. "Benefit that might come from the wider publicity that Wikipedia is currently receiving is a better sense of how to evaluate information sources." Engagement between the traditional arbiters of knowledge in the university and society and the new commons-based peer production can achieve a synthetic understanding of knowledge that will embrace how new technologies have challenged the idea of credibility, authority and the relation between knowledge-seeker and knowledge-provider. Together, through collaboration, Wikipedia, academia and society can be better. 3634 10655 2006-10-18T03:57:07Z 209.94.128.108 Uploaded poster Poster in
