I have a paper on why long-term contributors retire, but it is still in
review. If you or anyone else would like a copy, do send me an email and
I'll send you the draft.

Hi Research-l,
A human resources problem that I am experiencing is a shortage of
human resources of community members who are willing, available, and
have the skills to work on a variety of useful initiatives. Is anyone
on this list aware of research that talks about motivations of
long-term contributors? In particular, I'd be interested in research
that suggests ways to convert productive, relatively new editors (say,
50-500 edits) into long-term community members who are likely to
develop into long-term, productive Wikimedians.
Thanks,
Pine
