Hello Anne, hello Hanteng It was fun to stay with you for WikiSym - I hope we'll meet again soon. We'll probably justbump into each other at some conference :)
Anyway - Anne, you asked about "litterature about Wikipedia projects (and portals) and their status in regards with the Wikipedia construction" -- I'm not sure what you mean. To get an overview of the projects run by Wikimedia, see <http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Our_projects>. A more or less complete list is at <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Complete_list_of_Wikimedia_projects>. Or maybe you are looking for something entirely different? "Wikipedia" is a specific project (it's even a trademark). Not sure if a good overview of "wiki portal" in general exists... there is <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_wiki_farms> but that's mostly about places where you can start your own wiki. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wiki_communities> could also be a good starting point. I'm not aware of any scientific research comparing wiki communities -- would be interesting :) The WikiTracer thing may go into that direction <http://www.wikisym.org/ws2008/index.php/WikiTracer:_mapping_the_wikisphere>, though it seems to me mostly about metrics for community dynamics. Hanteng, thanks for the link to meta, I didn't even know that page :) which shows that it's probably not very comprehensive -- or i'm not well informed. <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Research_Bibliography> seems to be a good starting point for looking for bibliographies, I have added a few links to "folksonomic" collections. I have tried to use Zotero before, but didn't quite get into it. It lacks the social, wiki-ish aspect. Bibsonomy is a bit better for that, though not great. I have ranted about this a while ago here: <http://brightbyte.de/page/The_Bibliography_Thing>. Even sparked some discussion. In the long run, all this should be tied into a "wiki research planet" type thing, independant of wikimedia. I look forward to exchange more ideas with more people :) Han-Teng Liao (OII) schrieb: > Hello, > The 'Research' page on the Meta is the first place to go. > http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research > > I am looking forward to using Zotero for future collaboration.
