Hello fellow Wikipedia researchers, my book *Good Faith Collaboration: The Culture of Wikipedia* (2010, The MIT Press) is now available. While I have long anticipated its publication, it's hard to believe the day is finally here!
In any case, I've included a brief description below and a link to the blog announcement. There, you can leave a comment, follow the links to the book's webpage which includes the foreword, preface, introduction, notes and bibliography; I'll also link to reviews and interviews. Stay tuned to the blog for information about the upcoming book talk.

Feel free to forward this announcement and forgive me if I've sent a duplicate or sent it too far afield.

Good Faith Collaboration The Culture of Wikipedia
Joseph Michael Reagle Jr. Foreword by Lawrence Lessig The MIT Press, Cambridge, MA.
Wikipedia's style of collaborative production has been lauded, lambasted, and satirized. Despite unease over its implications for the character (and quality) of knowledge, Wikipedia has brought us closer than ever to a realization of the century-old pursuit of a universal encyclopedia. Good Faith Collaboration: The Culture of Wikipedia is a rich ethnographic portrayal of Wikipedia's historical roots, collaborative culture, and much debated legacy.
Hi, what is the license of this book?

The published printed book is all rights reserved. Though I'm happy to report that I will be able to release an online version under a CC license one year from now. I will say more about this in the future, and hope it will prove to be a model that benefits the author, publisher, and readership at large.

That sounds fair. By the way, did you hear anything on the full access through Google Print to books for university libraries?
PS. The book sounds great - I will be sure to grab a copy ASAP!

Hi, what is the license of this book?
Incredible - how could I knew that this question will come? :-) (from anybody) Greetings, Joseph, wish you all the best with the book.
Kind regards Ziko
Congratulations Joseph! Your articles were of great help to build upon for my dissertation on Governance of online creation communities (which by the way I defended yesterday!), now I look forward to the book. I am sure it will be an important contribution to feed Wikipedia research, Mayo

So my congratulations also to you, Mayo! Gaudeamus igitur...
I think that Wikipedians can be divided into an elder and a younger generation. The elder are those who obtained their PhD without a Wikipedia subject. :-)
Kind regards Ziko
