[WikiEN-l] how WP policy mediates mass collaboration

Hi everyone, I'd like to share with you all a recent paper that we've had at GROUP 2007 -- ACM Conference on Supporting Group Work. The paper concerns itself with how Wikipedia policy mediates mass collaboration in .. Wikipedia. It was presented a few days back and was well received by the CSCW community. We would love to get feedback and comments from the community on this work as we move forward with future studies of WP policy, and other WP mechanisms.
