Re: [Wiki-research-l] Reinforcing or incentivizing desired user behavior

[Pine W]

I've started to read BSOC and I'm thoroughly appreciating it. I think that
Wes is looking into notes from the former Growth Team and considering how
to add contributor growth as a measure of succeess for current Product
teams. I'd like to suggest that anyone in Product who is interested in the
subject of contributor growth make at least a brief pass through this book.

Thanks so much for the recommendation, J-mo.
