This year I was fortunate enough to play a very active role at the conference. The group was energetic and excited (and didn't even complain when I sent them on a photo scavenger hunt around the conference center), and you can access the materials and see some of their work on the We Are Media Wiki.

I need to look a little closer, but I think there is already a comunity there - through their forums and other activities.

I had heard some influential museum leaders raise the question of what a wiki museum might look like, and I wanted to explore that and related concepts. But enough of these experiences have convinced me that the participatory museum is not a fringe concept. I started the Museum 2.0 static content delivery machines) to 2.0

As many of you know, I’m writing a book about participatory design for museums. I’m using a wiki to do so, and a few intrepid generous folks have signed up to give feedback on the evolving draft. The book is intended to be a practical guide to participatory museum experiences focused on design strategies, case studies, and activities.
