Wikimania recap |
This week, the Signpost lists the discussions that took place at Wikimania 2006.
Wikimaniacs just finished three days of intense and joyful collaboration and discussion, including a day of discussing citizen journalism on Monday and a few scattered Wikimedia Foundation meetings. Please browse the full program and proceedings, and leave notes for the presenters and poster creators where possible -- discussions begun at Wikimania were in many cases only the beginning.
The proceedings, and an alpha-by-author list of all entries, can be found on the Wikimania site. The schedule is reproduced below in full.
