These days I'm concerned a bit more about Real Collaboration Challenges.

running across town between the conference and the office - thus missing morning keynotes

• Ross Mayfield on Thomas Malone's session; would like to know more about [Aes Power].

nobody's using the IRC Back Channel, and little use of the WiKi

WebLog/WiKi smackdown, hosted by Clay Shirky

• too much review of what the heck they are, and too many examples are [Public Web], rather than Team Is The Focus

• Anil Dash's starting point is similar, though more clearly just for comparison to the Invisible Content/Long Tail (drink!) of hidden Intra Net blogs.

  • adopted Bottom Up like EMail/Instant Messaging: if you have 50 employees, someone is blogging; if you have 100 employees, someone is blogging on company time.

  • I really don't see much of a point for WebLog as a medium of internal communication, except as one-way broadcasting ([Occupational Spam], Corporate Blogging). Wiki Beats Weblog.

  • RSS is wonderful. I'm not quite sure on this, although creating a Universal Inbox for stuff you're not watching every day makes sense.

• Ross Mayfield

  • (too pitch-y at start, what the heck does "Enterprise Strength" mean? LDAP?)

  • standard [Death Of Email] pitch. I haven't found this much, but that could be because of my specific organization (on the one hand, we don't do a lot of "[FYI]" spam, on the other hand you can't rely on WiKi as a way to know that someone will read what you wrote)... Well, it does reduce the "I forgot what we decided" emails...

    • Edward Vielmetti is reminding me via Instant Messaging that there are still lots of people out there depending on their EMail archives, and going nuts.

• Peter Thoeny: TWiki

  • Structured Wiki - (got there before JotSpot)

• [QAndA]

  • how correct info when no Critical Mass of readers (vs Wiki Pedia)

    • EMail wasn't any better

    • remind people that info is always open to question, ask for confirmation

  • [Sarbanes Oxley] - how do sufficient logging of history?

    • WiKi archive history almost always included (but don't purge it!)

Real Time collaboration

• I'm just ignoring the session, which isn't exciting...

• I probably have to get enough balls to try Techno Graphy (with an actual agenda!)

• for remote meetings, maybe Wiki And Irc bot that alerts people to Recent Changes (with edit-comment)...

[Work Spaces]

• GrOove, Share Point

  • access enterprise data?

  • internal-to-team focus vs ease of AdHoc/temporary/limited access to other teams

• [Site Scape] Forum: [AndyFox]: Real Time Conferencing, Presence Detection

  • Presence Detection: current and near-future dimensions of state - busy how? for how long? ConText.

• IBM Real Time stuff - activity-centered collaboration: Presence Detection and triggers per object

Eugene Eric Kim: Collaboration Pattern Language

• should this really be a subset of Org Patterns? It seems like too narrow a context to warrant its own stand-along Pattern Language...

General/unrelated notes while sitting there

• (Summarizing Is Necessary: format as Mind Mapping or IBIS? Do this straight as process of Techno Graphy?)

• (document authoring: wiki needs a way to render a page as HTML that's oriented more toward straight web - no Wiki Word-s links, Expanding Wiki Words, but external links ok? Then you can copy/paste elsewhere.)
