I wouldn't really talk about a Brainshare wiki, but rather it's just a 
Brainshare wiki page on the Novell wiki. The purpose of the page is shown 
int he introduction line:

"Add your picture site or your BrainShare blog or anything else worthwhile

to this page."

In essence, this page is just a place to collect useful links regarding 
Brainshare.

Of course, as this is a wiki, people are free to expand the scope of the 
Brainshare pages, as long as people keep in mind that it should remain a 
place collecting useful information for users and should not become a pace 
for people to complain about not having enough sessions about product X at 
Brainshare.

BTW it might have been an unfortunate choice to call the page you started 
"Purpose". After all, this is a global Novell wiki and not just about

Brainshare. So a glocal "Purpose" page would rather be a page
explaining 
the purpose of the Novell wiki, and not the purpose of the specific 
Brainshare page on the Novell wiki.

You are so right,  I forgot about that
I renamed it to  BrainShare wiki Purpose
and that was after I couldn't find a way to just delete it after the other 
tuning to the original purpose line.

There is certainly a learning curve on the whole wiki thing and this sure is 
a place for some of us to get up to speed.

I can see the BrainShare part of the Novell wiki being a good place where we 
can distill/collect some of the good knowledge that flows through this forum 
on surviving/enjoying BrainShare so that we can all get the most out of this 
conference.   That will be what drives my contributions at this time.

I can see these wiki pages getting heavily edited as BrainShare 2007 gets 
closer.
