!!#Workshop description

This workshop will be held in Porto, Portugal, in Sept 8th, 2008, during the Wikisym 2008 Symposium - [http://www.wikisym.org/ws2008].

The Internet has by now become a truly global and multilingual community: non-English speakers presently account for two-thirds of Internet users. Yet, while dozens of languages are being used simultaneously on the same network, the language barriers make it difficult for connection and collaboration to happen across languages.

Recognizing that global projects and initiatives are growing in number, and that more and more people are working daily in multilingual environments, it appears that the "wiki way" - a philosophy of tool-building that creates open, collaborative Web-based environments - might show promise in realizing the potential of collaboration among members of different language communities.

The goal of this workshop is to explore how wikis and the wiki way might impact, and be influenced by, multilingual collaboration and language work. It aims to bring together people with an interest in multilingual collaboration, as well as specialists such as translators and terminologists, and authors who hope to find ways for their work to reach other language communities.

For more details about the nature of this workshop, see the ((Call for Participation - Babel Wiki Workshop '08: Cross-Language Collaboration|call for participation)).

!!# Schedule
::''Monday, September 8th''::

-= 10:00h - 11:00h : 1st part of the workshop =-

__Welcome (~ 10 mins)__
* ((Alain Désilets)) and ((Xavier de Pedro)) officially open the workshop, __on behalf of the workshop chair: ((Sébastien Paquet))__.

__Lightning talks (~ 35 mins depending on the number of papers)__ 
* The people whose position paper or extended paper was accepted (either by the WikiSym program committee or the workshop commitee) are invited to present it as a 2-minute lightning talk.
* We will be very strict about the 2-minute time limit, so please make sure you are prepared well enough to be able to stick to that time. The purpose of the lightning talk is to give a very brief idea of what the paper is about, and incite people to read it from the wiki site. Below are pages to help you prepare for a lightning talk.
** http://perl.plover.com/lightning-talks.html
** http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yU9FjrR2Ig

__Roundtable (~ 15 mins)__
* People who did not do a lightning talk get a chance to express their particular interest (2 mins each, max).
* Someone is appointed to take notes on the ((BabelWiki meeting notes|wiki site)).
* This part can be skipped if we run out of time in the first section. People will have lots of opportunities to express their interests during the CardStorming stage.


^ :: __11:00h - 11:30h__: Coffee Break, at room [http://www.wikisym.org/ws2008/index.php/ConferenceMap#I-105|I-105]:: ^

-= 11:30h - 13:00h : 2nd part of the workshop =-

__CardStorming (~ 30 mins)__ 
* Attendees are then handed sticky note pads and invited to write down themes, challenges, opportunities, etc.... relevant to the theme of collaborative wiki-style cross-lingual communication. They post them onto a blank poster, trying to post similar themes near each other. 
* __Note:__ People can post demos that they want to do, but those will be done at the end of the day.
* When attendees run out of ideas, they collaboratively start moving the yellow stickies around to create clusters of issues.
* When the clustering has become somewhat stable, clusters are labeled, and assigned particular times and locations.
** If there are more clusters than can be discussed in the available time, ask people to vote by posting stickers on the ones they like most.
* Someone is appointed to write down the list of clusters and the issues they contain, in the ((BabelWiki meeting notes|wiki site)). The writing down can be done later during the break, but a volunteer should be found right then.


__First break out discussion (~60 mins)__

* Participants each move to the location corresponding to the cluster they are most interested in for this first breakout session.
* Lively discussion ensues (Note: 20 years of experience with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Space_Technology|Open Space] teaches us that when people form groups centered around the sub-topic they are most interested in, lively discussion naturally follows).
* Someone is appointed to take notes for that group on the ((BabelWiki meeting notes|wiki site)).


^ :: __13:00h - 14:00h__: Lunch, at [http://www.wikisym.org/ws2008/index.php/ConferenceMap#Grill|Grill] ::^

-= 14:00h - 15:30h : 3rd part of the workshop =-

__Second break out discussion (~60 mins)__

* Participants each move to the location corresponding to the cluster they are most interested in for this second breakout session.
* Lively discussion ensues (Note: 20 years of experience with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Space_Technology|Open Space] teaches us that when people form groups centered around the sub-topic they are most interested in, lively discussion naturally follows).
* Someone is appointed to take notes for that group on the ((BabelWiki meeting notes|wiki site)).

__First Demo session (~ 30 mins)__
* People who have things to demo do it.
* Depending on the number of demos, we might have a single track of back to back demo, or a bunch of concurrent demos at different locations.

^ :: __15:30h - 16:00h__: Coffee Break, at room [http://www.wikisym.org/ws2008/index.php/ConferenceMap#I-105|I-105]::^
