[edit] Sessions

While the Graphical User Interface (GUI) has served MediaWiki users well for all these years, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Internet Audio, Speech Synthesis, artificial intelligence, speech recognition and other once-futuristic notions have Netizens wondering, "What's Next?". Wiki Campus Radio may|might|shall|should|will|would|can|could provide the long-awated Sonic User Interface (SUI). The key is realtime control of user interfaces that deal with sound and speech.
