I will be attending the SMI open Source Summit in October.  I will be doing a 5 minute Lightning Talk on Documentation in Wikis.  This is something I have been working on a lot in the last 6 or 7 months. 

I could waffle on for hours on the highs and lows of trying to put documentation into Wiki formats.  It's actually coming along fairly well  We have had lots of dead ends, but with a little back tracking and trying the next idea, the result is actually quite nice. 

It will all be rolled out soon.  There are a couple books (like the Administration Guide) up on the OOoWiki in the documentation section which use some of the things we are tinkering with.  There are still some changes that need to be made though to include all the little tweaks we need to make the books usable in Wiki format.

See.. there I go... waffling on...

The interesting bit about this conference is... I am supposed to bring a poster... a poster that is roughly 60cm x 100cm... on poster board/card.  The poster itself is not so hard to do I suppose (although my artistic talents are questionable).  The interesting bit is... how do I transport it from Hamburg to Santa Clara without it getting destroyed? 

Hmmm the imponderables of a Wednesday morning.
