WikiSym 2006 concluded last Wednesday with Ward Cunningham's talk on "Design Principles of Wiki." Before that, we had listened to Angela Beesley on "How and Why Wikipedia works," Mark Bernstein on "Intimite Information," and Doug Engelbart with Eugene E. Kim on "The Augmented Wiki." The technical program comprised eleven paper presentations, two panels, and four workshops. Participants got active using Open Space, a method for self-organizing groups.
