Subject: [Wiki-research-l] RIP John Riedl (1962-2013)
Hi all,
many of you have already learned about the untimely death of professor
John Riedl this Monday.
Wikimedia Foundation research analyst Dario Taraborelli has just
published a blog posting summarizing some of the highly influential
contributions of John and his collaborators to the understanding of
Wikipedia, and highlighting his call to students and researchers not
to remain passive scholars of online collaboration, but to “design
tools to directly change how the world works”:
