>> Hello All! Happy New Year!
>>
>> A question for you: I've seen a couple of conferences use a wiki, in 
>> advance, to let people declare topics they think they might propose for 
>> discussion.
>>
>> As a facilitator, I balked at this. Now, as a sponsor, I see two sides of 
>> it: on the one hand, it could encourage people to attend, and help them 
>> think about their own topics. On the other hand, it happens before 
>> opening the space, and could undermine the self-organization that 
>> normally happens after the opening.
>>
>> Has anyone thought about this? What are your own reflections?
>> Thanks
