Hello,
Interesting mail - at the moment I am busy with thinking about chronological aspects of a wiki. One idea is that a wiki can have a finality, that means, that the founders had only a limited goal in mind. If accomplished, the wiki is no longer needed. There is a paper about open source software that you might already know? (Schweik 2014)
Kind regards Ziko

Hello fellow researchers!
We are conducting a research about "mortality in wikis" and we are looking for a good definition to determine when a wiki is considered "death", "inactive" or "abandoned".
So far, I've only found this definition from Haiyi Zhu, Robert E. Kraut and Aniket Kittur in their paper: "The impact of membership overlap on the survival of online communities" https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=2556288.2557213. We define a community to be dormant (the inverse of active) in a given month if the community did not have any activity (including discussion pages and community pages) in the given month and the preceding two months.
Any other references you could point me out? any better ideas?
Thank you in advance!
Saludos, Abel. _______________________________________________ Wiki-research-l mailing list Wiki-research-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l
