This is an experimental structure to keep information for an ongoing event that happens in multiple cities. I'd like for current information to be immediately obvious, and for past information to be well archived, so that it remains useful.
If you're planning a wiki event, add your city to the list of locations. Link from that city's page to your event. Events that are upcoming should also be listed on the main page of this wiki, so that it's immediately obvious what events are about to happen.
Once the event has happened you can move it (or someone else will) to be linked from the past events and the locations page for your city. Tag it "past events".
If you like, you can add the navigation bar at the top of any page you create. To do this, cut and paste this onto your page:
{include: [navigation]}
Each page holds an event that happens on a specific date.
Figure out a naming convention, so that your events have unique and descriptive names, such as Palo Alto April 2007.
Have directions, a signup section for people to rsvp, logistics, speaker information, descriptions of event structure, and contact information for a person running the event.
Make people's names into links. If it's not your page, make it very basic, with the person's name, perhaps an identifier like company, web site, or blog with external link.
Link and create whatever else you like, of course.
Here's the stats on this wiki and its link-ed-ness: wiki stats
Edit this include here: tagsonomy.
Here are some tags that I think will be particularly useful. Tag people as people, events as events.
people, LondonPeople, speakers, hostsTag with whatever other useful-seeming tags you come up with. If you have an idea for a tag that you think everyone should start using, suggest it here in the tagsonomy! If that thrills you to the core, read and contribute to gardening this wiki and wiki structure.
Event and past event should really be plural. But let's keep them singular for now until we can fix them all with batch tagging and renaming of tags.
For photos and blog posts, please tag with "wikiwed".
Make suggestions here, in gardening this wiki or in tagsonomy if you have an idea for restructuring the information in this wiki.
And here's a link to the navigation bar. To add the navigation bar to your new page, use this markup:
{include: [navigation]}
Stick a feed of titles on the main page of anything (maybe from moderator-approved sources) tagged "wikiwed". It would be neat to have blog writeup links and photos just feed right into this wiki. Because you really, really, need another photo of some people in an office eating pizza while staring at a projector screen and their laptops, because that means we're total rockstars.
Feel free to extend the wiki further in whatever direction you think would be useful, nifty, and relevant.
It would be lovely to have audio, video, screencasts, transcripts, or slides from talks!
