The Curmudgeony Librarian writes “For all the fuss about blogs and the infamous “blog people,” It appears that ALA’s 2005 Chicago meeting June 23-29, 2005 will be the most connected conference to date.
Almost every roundtable, listserv, or news site is going to have an electronic presence at this meeting, but the electronic resource which is getting the most attention this conference season is Meredith Farkas’s unofficial ALA Chicago wiki.
A wiki is a web application that allows users to add content, as on an Internet forum. The key idea is that the content is modifiable by other users. Content can be added or edited by other users. Over the past few weeks this site has grown into a powerhouse of information about the conference and Chicago. Many librarians are contributing to the growth of this wiki and the seeds for much more online collective collaboration have been planted. It is for this reason, that this is indeed a website worth watching.”

Re:No RSS Feed?
Bill — MediaWiki offers RSS for the “new pages” and “recent changes” listings by default. For the ALA-Chicago wiki, those feeds can be found at…
