Thursday Meetings at Berkman Blog

Proposed Agenda:

• Wiki Wonderland/Blog Teach-In
  • Blogs: Blogger and Berkman Fellow Rebecca MacKinnon will be on hand with participants of iLaw, the Berkman Center’s annual conference on internet legal issues, to give iLaw participants a look at blogging from the inside.

  • Wikis: Sam Klein, Wikipedia maven, will try to give us a flavor of the world of Wikis — the collaborative, cathedral-like information structures of the web. Sam will also cover access control and antispam techniques for Wikis that keep these cathedrals from turning into an info-landfill. Sam has a weblog, SJ’s Longest Now, but you can get a feel for the variety and quickness of his intellect by visiting his page on Wikipedia.
  • If you are interested in blogging and would like to learn more about how to get started or boost your weblog skills, this would be an excellent meeting to begin with.
• Well wishes for Gregory
• Happy Birthday to Jay! Happy Birthday to Jay! Who fell off the Earth–Happy Birthday to Jay! (and many more …)
