It seems to make a real difference whether someone
"declares a topic"
sitting at her computer or someone
"announces an issue"
getting up from sitting in a circle of people and venturing into the
void in the center.
No´matter what has taken place before the event
all issues are (re)introduced at the beginning of the open space.
I sort of imagine that transforms topics into issues
(in German: Themen zu Anliegen).
This is a wonderful question at the beginning of the year!
Greetings from Berlin just about to take off for a week of vacation with
a bunch of grandchildren...

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
