The international symposium on wikis is taking place in Denmark in August this year.

The invited talk lineup is excellent: there will be talks by the Wikimedia Foundation’s Angela Beesley (“How and Why Wikipedia Works”), Doug Engelbart and Eugene Eric Kim (“The Augmented Wiki”), Mark Bernstein (“Intimate Information”) and Ward Cunningham (“Design Principles of Wikis”).

Like the first year, there’s a research paper track, panels (“Wikis in Education” and “The Future of Wikis”), and workshops. There will also be an Open Space track throughout the meeting.

Today (June 19) is the last day for early registration. The chair, Dirk Riehle, informs me that “you can register but don’t have to pay right away. So even if you are waiting for travel permission from your boss, you can already register and pay later (or cancel with no hassles).” Which I’m going to do right away, as a matter of fact. :) The registration page is here.
