Thursdays @ Berkman: Wiki Wonderland / Blog Teach-In June 23, 2005

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. 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. Berkman Blog Group meetings are free and open to the public, so 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.
