FAQ
What is the purpose of this wiki?
There are 4 discussion sessions (1.5 hours/each) in the workshop's program, and four rooms available for these discussions to occur. This wiki is to allow workshop participants to propose ideas for discussion, gather momentum behind those proposals and thus define what these sessions should be all about.
This wiki will also be used to document the discussions.
How does it work?
You can post new ideas or comment on existing ones by going to the "Ideas" page. If several participants support a given idea you can either create a new page (under "Discussion Ideas") or ask us to create one for you. The most popular ideas will be given priority during the workshop. For more info on how to edit pages, please see below.
These pages are intended to be edited before, during and after the workshop by any participant that chooses to do so. Remember, they are not only for brainstorming but also the main tool for documenting the workshop. Please contribute! A working example of all the mentioned rules can be viewed in last year's wiki.
