Interesting insights, @Alberto. I have a few questions:
- An ethnography of makers collaboration. How important is the space? How important is StackOverflow or similar? What constitues "good" collaboration (Alessandro: "the less interactive and more efficient, the better")?
How do we define “good”? By the number readers? Number of comments? Actual resolution of the discussed problem? All? Defining what “good” engagement looks like, can determine the importance of the space. IMHO a solely quantitative metric could have misleading indications.
- A model of the interface between online and offline collaboration. We promised to build this anyway in the proposal.
- Can you please elaborate a bit on this?
- In line with your thoughts, I still do think we need to analyze our previous experience of offline/online engamenet models. FWIW, we already documented an ongoing case here, and more will follow.
Thanks!
