Wer die IBM-Seite dazu kennt, wird auch das mögen. Graphisch sehen
editwars nicht übel aus.

Subject: Wikipedia: academic paper
Hello Jimmy,
I am a graduate student at the MIT Media Laboratory. I hope you remember
me from last summer when I sent out a couple of messages to the
Wikipedia mailing list about a visualization project I was working on,
which looked at wiki sites. Martin Wattenberg from IBM and I built a
visualization tool called "history flow" and we used this application to
study some of the cooperation and conflict patterns among authors on
Wikipedia.
We are happy to announce that the paper we wrote about this project has
been accepted at a major academic conference (CHI 2004 - Computer Human
Interaction). We will present the paper next month at the conference.
Here is a link to the paper:
http://web.media.mit.edu/~fviegas/papers/history_flow.pdf
Feel free to circulate this within the Wikipedia community. It would be
great to hear from folks about what they think of the findings and
whether these resonate with their experience of the community. Neither
Martin nor I are on the mailing list anymore but, if anyone would like
to get in touch with us, they can use these email addresses:
fviegas at media.mit.edu
mwatten at us.ibm.com
cheers,
- Fernanda Viegas
