History: Wikipedia Research Summit
Source of version: 26
This year's WikiSym will feature a conference-long informal track of presentations and papers about Wikipedia, including a Wikipedia Research Summit: an open discussion around the issues involved in researching Wikipedia (technical, social, or other). These discussions will lead into a similar program during Wikimania, which we hope will bring together researchers and Wikimedians for a productive dialog.
We hope that these sessions will lead to a broad discussion around solutions for some of these issues and new approaches for researching the "grand challenges" of Wikipedia.
