> =================
> Introduction
> =================
> The use of wikis in software engineering dates back to 1995, when
> Ward Cunningham created the first ever wiki as a platform for
> discussing patterns and software development efforts. The simplicity
> and effectiveness of wikis as a medium for collaborative authoring
> has lead to their vast popularity across many domains.
>
> =================
> Goals
> =================
> This workshop aims to bring together researchers, practitioners,
> and enthusiasts interested in exploring the potential of wikis as
> an effective tool to support software engineering activities.
> Specifically, it is an opportunity to:
> * Learn from the knowledge and experience gained in using wikis
>  for software engineering.
> * Identify benefits and best practices.
> * Identify limitations and challenges.
> * Develop an agenda for future research and development to advance
>  the state of the art.
> * Initiate new collaborations between researchers and practitioners.
>
> =================
> Topics
> =================
> Examples of relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
>
> * Experience
>     o Reports on experiences in using wikis to support software
>       engineering.
>     o Wikis in software engineering educational settings.
>     o Practices and tips you would like to share.
>     o Evaluation of specific wiki implementations and features.
>
> * Integration
>     o Integration of wikis with software engineering tools
>       (IDEs, analysis, modeling, Q&A, configuration management, etc.).
>     o Wikis as front-ends or as actual knowledge management platforms
>       in software projects.
>     o Wikis as plugins to software engineering tools.
>     o Wikis as mashups for software artifacts and tools
>     o Wikis as collaboration tools in global software development.
>     o Wikis as social tools for software project communities.
>     o Wikis as tools for agile software development
>
> * Extensions and tools
>     o Wiki engines with specialized support for software projects.
>     o Specific markup languages for software development.
>     o Tools based on wiki principles.
>     o Mechanisms for preserving the semantic connection between wikis
>       and software artifacts.
>
> =================
> How To Participate
> =================
> You are invited to submit a position paper or experience report of not
> more than 6 pages. Submissions will be reviewed for quality and
> relevance.
>
> We are interested in a lively debate. If you're attending WikiSym but
> didn't submit a paper, you're also invited to join the workshop.
>
> Submissions should be sent to pfm at sei.cmu.edu and follow the ACM SIG
> Proceedings Format:  http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/ 
> template.html
