Event name
[edit]Participant connections
[edit]The enterprise MediaWiki conference was attended solely by enthusiastic, interested and well-informed community members. Discussions happened on a very skilled, sophisticated level while still inviting newer attendees to participate in sharing their questions and topics. The overall atmosphere was highly professional, welcoming and supporting growth in learning. Without favouring single persons, to me it was especially rewarding to work with everybody from the MediaWiki Stakeholders' Group and the numerous participants from NASA.
Outcome
[edit]- Blog post: How to fly the wiki way (newsletter will be published)
- Working on two best practice wikis:
- enterprisemediawiki.org for best practices within the community
- academy.wikiahoi.at (not yet published) for a brief introduction into working with Semantic MediaWiki based on defining an ontology, as well as a showcase for an ontology pattern.
