I will be presenting a paper "Virtual Community Maintenance with a Repository" at the ASIST conference in October that discusses the ways in which a wiki repository has helped strengthen an email-based technical support community. The abstract is found at http://www.asis.org/Conferences/AM07/papers/72.html
If you would like a copy of the paper let me know.

I need a good solid reference to substantiate the following claim:
"Besides leading to high quality content, wikis have been
shown to be good tools for fostering the emergence of active communities"
Does anyone know of a good research paper that looks
specifically at this kind of impact of wikis?
Thx.
