Abstract

The use of wikis in software engineering dates back to 1995, when Ward Cunningham created the first ever wiki as a platform for discussing patterns and software development efforts. The simplicity and effectiveness of wikis as a medium for collaborative authoring has lead to their vast popularity across many domains. The Wikis for Software Engineering (Wikis4SE) workshop aims at bringing together researchers, practitioners, and enthusiasts interested in exploring the potential of wikis as an effective tool to support software engineering activities. It serves as a forum for presenting new ideas and tools, and reporting on experiences, best practices, and newly discovered problems. Based on lessons learned and obstacles identified, a research agenda will be defined with key opportunities and challenges.
