Interesting article - particularly in light of recent comments on this list!
Ed Chi's comments are particularly interesting - that newcomers find it increasingly difficult to become established - and seems to be a reversal of what he concludes in [1]. (Other papers listed at [2].) I'll be interested to read the upcoming WikiSym paper, which I presume details this research in more detail.
Don't really get JonAwbrey's comment underneath the (Guardian) article, but then again, I rarely get what he says. ;-)
