Opening notes.
- Motivations for web site changes
  - Identifying: from project identity to AMI@Work Communities identity - AMI@Work home page and community home page for every community (SIG?), links to projects
  - Editing: make the web site more dynamic in involving all members into the editing of their community pages - News, Coming Events, About, research topics, ...
  - Personalising: provide the feeling to individuals to be at home (i.e. mySpace, allocate a specific page to individual members)
  - Profiling: enable members to indicate their research topics of interest(i.e. new profile page, looking for, proposing)
  - Connecting: use research topics to connect members and their papers (i.e. Topic or Concept Maps browsers), identify more collaboration opportunities, support on-line Knowledge Connection principles
- Process for the new web site
  - Prototyping: prepare a web site prototype based on the previous MOSAIC web site experience and implement it into a Wiki approach (community based approach) selected Wiki environement is WikiMedia (i.e. WikiPedia)
  - Involving: engage communities leaders and members into the web site discussion (Wiki content toolbar: discussion)
  - Experimenting: communities leaders and members to use the prototyped version and provide contributions
- Extending the web site collaboration
  - Inviting: propose about web page and link to related projects (i.e. MOSAIC, COMIST, wearIT@work, EUdomain,......), reference projects with research topics, involve and link with other country or topic based communities?
  - Promoting: next newsletter, collect or connect with relevant country or topic based eMailing lists

What is a wiki
- Introduction
- A (very) few words about some successful wikis (Portland pattern repository, Wikipedia)
- Who uses wikis (collaborative projects, enterprises, etc.)
How wikis work
- Every (or almost) every single page is editable by users
- Wiki "markup"
- The history of all changes is kept; changes can be easily reverted
- Users can keep track of changes via Recent changes, history, watchlist, email, RSS/Atom
Wiki "philosophy"
- Simplicity
- Content evolution
- Since every page is editable, contributors can design the information architecture (site organization)
The AMI@Work communities web site
- Integration with existing user database and BSCW
- Uses of the wiki part
- Licensing of text and multimedia material in the wiki
- Demonstration of the site
  - Registration/login using existing user name
  - Creating/editing articles
  - Comparing revisions
  - Creating a community home page
  - Preferences (incl. enroll for events, change of profile data, etc.)
  - My space
  - Research topics
