[Ottawa-pm] Reminder: Tonight, 7:00, at Pythian's...

[Yanick Champoux]

... Marc is going to present us his Historiki initiative, which consists 
of setting up an AI-assisted wiki called SkyNet to classify and report 
on timelines.  Nothing there that can go wrong. Nothing at all.

     Nah, just kidding about the whole SkyNet thingy. The real blurb 
lies below.

Hope to see ya tonight!

Introducing Historiki - Brainstorming solutions to complex visualization
and database design problems

Historiki's mission is to contribute a major and innovative Web-based
project, in the area of chronologically-organized information and
knowledge visualization tools, to the collaborative global movement that
is creating a Web-based repository of knowledge, universally and freely
accessible to all. Historiki's focus is on historical, time-based
information. Historiki is being set up as a not-for-profit,
volunteer-based organization, similar to the Wikimedia Foundation, and
in the tradition of the Open Source and Creative Commons movements.

Historiki is just getting started and is at the early design phase.
Historiki's founder, Marc Wickham, would like to introduce the
organization, share some of the technical challenges involved, and hold
a brainstorming session to develop potential approaches and solutions to
these problems.
