Additional material

If you have slides and additional material (tables, lists, sourcecode...) that we don't already have, please also upload them. Please use an open file format (e.g. OpenOffic) so other people can reuse your data. PDF is also possible but not that useful. Name all your files with your submission id, for instance:

Wikimania05-ID-Slides.sxi - for your slides if your id is "ID"
Wikimania05-ID-Data.sxc - for your original data if your id is "ID"
