Re: [Wiki-research-l] Regular contributor
From the way that some of you have been carrying the discussion, it seems as if some here feel comfortable deriving generalizable claims that culd ring true across the Wikiverse, as if the very substance of certain Wikipedia articles wouldn't have an inherent and significant bearing on the demographic composition and communicative dynamics of online collaboration. I would urge others, as some have lightly alluded to already, to stay conscientious of idiosyncrasies that may exist across a multiplicity of Wikipedias. Since, I am somewhat out of the loop, I would be appreciativei if someone were able to corroborate this idea of cultures of knowledge production that vary from realm to realm in Wikipedia. There are also the real world, cultural variables which can be reproduced inside Wikipedia. Take for example the study which found that French Wikipedians were much less comfortable deleting others' contributions. http://jcmc.indiana.edu/vol12/issue1/pfeil.html Sincerely, Said Hamideh ___ Wiki-research-l mailing list Wiki-research-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l
Re: [Wiki-research-l] wikimedia and second life
Hi Lillian, I'm sure the applications for a wiki-VR are endless. As someone who has worked with Jewish and Muslim school children for a conflict resolution NGO, I had always envisioned extending our collaborative writing projects into Second Life. For one, I always thought that a group of Israelis and Palestinians could attempt to build a state entity of some sort within Second Life. With documents, such as national constitutions and civil codes being critical to a collaborative nation building project, this is where a wiki would mesh perfectly into the scheme. Let me know what you think, Said Kassem Hamideh On Sun, Mar 2, 2008 at 8:48 AM, Lillian Yiyuan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, Two of the most visible aspects of what is being called Web 2.0 are Virtual Reality and wiki collaboration. If Wikipedia is a monument to turning fun and procrastinating into something very useful and valuable, VR so far seems to be the other way, a way of taking creative energy and turning it into fun and procrastination. Part of this is that most VRs have intentionally been walled gardens, where effort poured into the VR is only really useful inside of the VR. I'm hesitating to write this in case it breaks something that I've been doing, but let me plunge ahead. One of the most interesting VRs is Linden Lab's Second Life, which is being used as the basis for both an OpenSim project, and for IBM's virtual world. It's primary difference from the point of view of social and technical research is that it has a relatively versatile scripting language called LSL, or Linden Scripting Language. This language is being ported to run on top of a mono virtual machine presently, but even in its current state it can do amazing things. By querying and editing wikimedia wiki's it is possible to bring information in world, that is into the vr, easily, and have wiki information control in world objects. This creates the potential for true metadata to VR, with in world objects updating text state, and text state controlling vr objects for display of information, and finally true interaction, where both sides affect the other. This is important because VR has been data processing poor, and information poor, while it is social interaction rich. Are there other people looking at wiki-VR interaction? I can go into more details about how this project is working off list if anyone is interested. ___ Wiki-research-l mailing list Wiki-research-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l ___ Wiki-research-l mailing list Wiki-research-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l
