		+	* (from Sean Moore): I recently entered a [[Moore:Chemiluminescent\|protocol]] under my lab protocols section that I would like to also have listed on the mail protocols page under "proteins" and "Westerns". Is there a way to use key words so the protocol wil automatically be added to related groups?

		+	*Why do people contribute to open communities (massive virtual collaboration)?
		+	**Helpful to design attractive systems or to estimate likely success of projects
		+	**benefit > cost
		+	***cost: opportunity cost of time
		+	***benefit: job offers, ego gratification - in theory; self-determination, human capital - in practice
		+	**students are motivated differently from workers
		+	**motivation in Wikipedia ([[doi:10.1145/1215942.1215943\|Kuznetsov 2006]], [http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~aforte/ForteBruckmanWhyPeopleWrite.pdf Forte & Bruckman 2005]) same as in OSS plus reciprocity (expectation of matching contributions)
		+	***need for other people's articles
		+	***anonymity affects peer recognition
		+	*individual roles in project: passive users -> active users -> co-developers -> core developers
		+	*stages of participation (curiosity -> sustained contributions -> meta contributions):
		+	*#most people, regular users, attracted by visibility of the project
		+	*#received feedback, "helping behavior", social movement; groups become homogeneous over time (attraction -> selection -> attrition)
		+	*#very small number - the "long tail" (list of wikipedians by number of edits (stats.wikimedia.org): 54% once or twice, 25% >= 10x, 5% >= 100x); based on voluntaristic and helping nature, group identity; provide feedback to previous stages: enable more basic contributions
		+	*practical implications for encouraging contributions:
		+	**early stages (basic):
		+	***project is visible enough to attract attention
		+	***reduce barriers to entry
		+	***positive feedback -> exponential growth
		+	**sustained contributions:
		+	***meaningful tasks
		+	***shared values
		+	***sustained contributions increase visibility of project
		+	**meta contributions:
		+	***reward by more authority and visibility
