This week, the Signpost covers discussion themes and project content for the Wikimania 2006 program, highlighting the discussions surrounding the content and development of the projects. Registration for Wikimania is ongoing in 5 languages at http://wm06reg.wikimedia.org . A public announcement is available for release.

Wikimania 2006 will be full of discussions about popular topics on and around the projects -- content creation and validation, creating successful wikiprojects, multilingual collaboration and translation, policy making, community building, incorporating outside sources, working with outside interfaces. Some of these will be scheduled on the program; some will take place informally throughout the conference, and many will take place over email and on the conference wiki leading up to the event.

This week's column is an unusually interactive one: readers are encouraged to edit the list of discussion topics below, to add to it, and to link from it to existing discussions on Wikimedia projects, in any language. Have at it! Be careful not to remove the markers indicating which themes have already been included in the program.
