From WikiSym 2008

WikiFest

WikiFest is a conference session devoted to helping you start and grow a successful wiki.

Topics to be covered:

• Choose the right wiki software for your needs,
• Run a pilot to start use on a small scale and establish a core group of users
• 11 Steps to a successful wiki pilot
• Get it widely used throughout your organization, project, or group.
• Avoid the potential obstacles to wiki success: What are they, and how can you avoid or fix them?

You'll learn the ins and outs of making the most of this enduring collaboration tool.

WikiFest session proposals should showcase a wiki adoption strategy or example, with emphasis on how others can apply your strategy to their own wiki. Presentations will be 6 minute, Pecha Kucha style, and should include brief information on how your wiki is used, what got you started with wikis, the type of tool you use (free web-based, hosted, locally installed, public, private, etc.), and the general size of your wiki (# of people, # of pages, etc.)
