[wikimania] Lightning Talks

Very spotty coverage of five-minute presentations...

OpenWetWare.org "is an effort to promote the sharing of information, know-how, and wisdom among researchers and groups who are working in biology & biological engineering."

Callie B. Carroll (Hylaweb) talks about accessiblity and MediaWiki.

Yurik shows an add on that pops up a page when you hover over the link. It uses Query API, a read-only interface to Wikipedia. It gives back lots of info.

A troll claims that Wikipedia contains all knowledge.

Someone (sorry) talks about AboutUs.org, a wiki about Web sites.
