Ed Chi's comments are particularly interesting - that newcomers find it increasingly difficult to become established - and seems to be a reversal of what he concludes in [1]. (Other papers listed at [2].) I'll be interested to read the upcoming WikiSym paper, which I presume details this research in more detail. Don't really get JonAwbrey's comment underneath the (Guardian) article, but then again, I rarely get what he says. ;-) Cormac [1] http://www.viktoria.se/altchi/index.php? action=showsubmission&id=41 [2] http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~echi/papers.html _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediauk-l(a)wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
