[wiki-research] Wikis4SE: Wikis for Software Engineering Workshop, WikiSym 2007 (CFP)

[Adrian Walker]

Hi Ademar --

Looks like a fine Workshop.

Is it possible please to waive the registration fee for this meeting if we
submit a presentation proposal that is accepted?

                                      Thanks,  -- Adrian
