Community Dynamics"
all the low hanging fruit have been pickes, no rewarding articles being none, meta organizing, formatting, sorting categories, not adding new content, just shoving stuff around
backlogs, people aren't doing enough work. - well there are artificial logs
is Experiementing Vandalism!!!??? KEY!!!!!!
Templates are like answering maching messages. are we an answering service? What makes it warning templates and such officious?
Templates are good for notification - not good for socialization, should be person to person
are we so busy, collectively, we can't be human?
Don't touch anything in the store, go to the sandbox
Just scolding people, not trying to help them be productive
What are the goald os wikipedia:
- write an encyclopedia
- encourage the participation of new users?
- protecting the wiki from new users?
- create a community? pr
( preventing a community from developing because it distraccts from writhing the encylcipedia
I* dsopw e v aluse correct formatting, or ne w conent how do we reward behavior for good content
Anyone can edit
no technilogical restirction but a social barrier
Wiki ethos= radical openenes, radical trust
if alomst everon new is discrouged from editing are you really buil.ding a wiki, or using a wiki to build a website?
