Hi,

>I am a) writing a student research paper and b) going to have a
>lecture on a german linux-congress about Wikipedia. Has there
>anybody done this before? I know the lecture of Kurt Janson last
>year on 19C3 in Berlin but is there no newer stuff? Well I know
>what to write and talk but I am just wondering why there are so
>little (=practically no) scientific publications or conference
>papers (=everything but simple newspaper articles) on Wikipedia
>yet. On the other hand I don't mind if I am the first one ;-)

>The only references I found (up to now):

>http://wiki.wizards-of-os.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Wikipedia_And_Friend

academic article about Wikipedia:

members in virtual communities: The case of Wikipedia
