The recently concluded WikiSym (short for the International Symposium on Wikis) has published a number of the academic papers presented. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2009-11-02/Conference_report
One that caught my eye was "Herding the Cats: The Influence of Groups in Coordinating Peer Production?" I've been skeptical of the emphasis on workgroups, but this paper makes a case for how joining a group can affect behavior (and complement individual contributions). http://www.wikisym.org/ws2009/procfiles/p107-kittur.pdf --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
