Future Changes

Europe Conference Coverage, .wiki, IntranetBlog.ru Interview

Audience - International Forum on Enterprise 2.0

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!
