__The International Symposium on Wikis and Open Collaboration__
[http://wikisym.org/ws2010|WikiSym 2010 website]
__July 7-8-9__ in __Gdańsk__, __Poland__.
Co-located with __Wikimania 2010__ (Intl. Conference on Wikimedia Foundation projects, [http://wikimania2010.wikimedia.org|Wikimania 2010 website]).
Peer-reviewed and archived in the ACM Digital Library.
Please refer to ((Timeline|Important dates)) for details about the __scheduling for submissions and events__.
!Summary
WikiSym, the International Symposium on Wikis and Open Collaboration, will be held this summer in Gdansk, Poland. Starting this year, WikiSym aims to explicitly __broaden its scope__, exploring not only the thriving __wiki community__, but also other __open movements__ and __open collaboration__ initiatives. This includes related areas such as ''open online communities'', ''collaborative creation of multimedia content'' (with or without wikis), and ''open journalism and publishing'', just to list a few examples.
Furthermore, our goal is to establish WikiSym as a venue for the exchange of information, experiences and practices among an interdisciplinary audience, including researchers, practitioners, industry representatives and experts with a wide variety of different backgrounds.
As a result, WikiSym has established __3 complementary tracks__ to merge the contributions from such a diverse community:
*__Wiki track__: Focused on research in wiki technology, wiki websites, wiki communities, and in general any kind of initiative pivoting around wiki software.
*__Industry track__: This new track will focus on the specific needs of enterprises and private companies interested in sharing and promoting their experiences around wikis and open collaboration projects/products/initiatives.
*__Open collaboration track__: This track is a dedicated venue for sharing research results and experiences in initiatives that may not be built specifically on wiki software, but share the "wiki way" of organization. These may include open collaborations, open communities, and open movements that allow the interchange of ideas and contributions from participants with a range of interests and motivations.
Research manuscripts may be sent to any of these tracks. However, __submitting the same manuscript to more than one track at the same time is not allowed__. Therefore, please select the most appropriate track for the topic covered in your manuscript before submitting.
