Europe Conference Coverage, .wiki, IntranetBlog.ru Interview

While I’ve been busy in Europe this past week, speaking at International Forum on Enterprise 2.0 (Varese, Italy) and The New Knowledge Forge (Porto, Portugal), and meeting to accept papers and set the program for WikiSym 2008, there’s been no shortage of excellent online coverage:

Marco Frassoni wrote a summary of the talks in Varese, and called me “father of Wikipatterns” which is quite flattering! He summarized the key points from my talk, as well as those of Laurence Lock Lee, Emanuele Quintarelli, and David Terrar.

Gielle Lelli (english translation - original post in Italian) also blogged about the presentations:

Throughout the presentation we were glued to listen sharing, wikis, new and unexplored spaces and… security. Finally, beautiful presentation and a couple of links: WikiPatterns and GrowYourWiki. (then slideshare, Twitter, post today Stewart)

Fernando Moreira (english translation - original post in Portuguese) wrote about the presentations at The New Knowledge Forge, and his post focuses on a theme that emerged - whether Wikipedia has dominated and skewed peoples’ understanding of what a wiki is.

Skilful Minds wrote about my recent posts on Wachovia’s efforts to grow wiki use through mutual mentoring.

Hot Debate on the .wiki TLD Question

Luca Perugini writes in response to my post asking if we need a .wiki Top-Level Domain, and says emphatically yes!

on the same way we have a .tv TLD I believe we need a .wiki TLD.

Someone can disagree with me saying “oh, wiki it’s just another tool, we don’t need a TLD!”.

But Wiki it’s not just a tool.
It’s a new work style!
A Wiki it’s more related with social side of labour, it’s not just a software tool.
On Wiki You can see just another slice of code, but there’s more inside!

There’s quite a debate in the comments on my post asking about .wiki - some people think it’s a great idea, and others just think it will lead to more confusion. Keep your responses coming!

Michael Russell said: "Stewart, would be interested to learn more about your thinking on best practices w/regard to the convergence of Wikis and (internal/behind the firewall) community. Specifically, as this applies to the sharing of info and breaking down silos between functional groups and individuals who possess mission-critical knowledge." on WikiFest 2008 Presentation: Lex Slaghuis, wikiwise
John Tropea said: "I understand wikis are versatile and can be used for many things including document collaboration. In regards to document collaboration... Really this is no different than a Document Management System (DMS) - Someone uploads a document - This document now has a URL - They email personA the URL to edit the document - Then personA email's personB to edit it (if" on The Costly & Inefficient Procedure that Wikis can Improve
Julie Spriggs said: "It would be great to hear more details about this. If I read slide 3 right there are over 105K pages of wikis at SAP. This one is 10th largest at 900 pages. How many separate wikis are there? Do they cross pollinate at all? If there is a resource designated for gardening and evangelizing, how much" on WikiFest 2008 Presentation: Wiki Implementation within SAP AG, by Holger Junghanns
Brian said: "I would like to see the template used for requirements. Is it a single page per specific requirement or does it group multiple requirements? Does it include the Business, User, and Functional requirements?" on Wikis at Work - Defining Requirements in a New Way
Marcel de Ruiter said: "Hi Stewart, Thanks for sharing this interesting business case. One thing I fail to find is what SAP is actually doing in the wiki. What is going on in there? Something else: I love to image page 8 representing group/team collaboration. Would it be an idea to start to collect such images (or sources) on the wikipatterns" on WikiFest 2008 Presentation: Wiki Implementation within SAP AG, by Holger Junghanns
