• We're done! Thank you all for attending and contributing to a great conference. This wiki remains open for all attendees to contribute.
• If anyone needs assistance editing content or uploading files, please contact me. At some point after the conference, I'll be renaming pages so they follow a consistent pattern. If you have links to WICSA 2008 on your website, please send me a note so I can update you on the changes. Thank you!

Feedback

If you find the wiki useful or have suggestions for improvement, please provide feedback to: Michael Marzec (WikiMaster). If anyone needs specific Wiki support, I'm here at the conference, and have already briefly met a few of you.

Wiki Page Naming Convention

Suggestions have been made on the naming convention for the WICSA pages. This will will go a long way towards mitigating any naming conflicts, especially with previous WICSA pages. New pages should follow the convention, where possible, and existing pages will be moved/renamed to follow the convention.

The current convention is: Wicsa7:<BOF|Papers|Sessions|Tutorials|Workshops>:Session_Name
