Dear fellows, Thanks for the invitation, its sounds really great. I am busy now with an overview how different disciplines approach wikis. An interchange about transdisciplinary wiki research would be wonderful. Alas, I cannot come to London that day. I hope you all will have a productive and inspiring day. Kind regards, Ziko
