Hi Julian,

A resource I found generally useful as entry point to academic research in
the field is Building Successful Online Communities (Kraut, Resnick).

I am aware of some successful citizen science like GalaxyZoo where people
can help to classify photos of galaxies and there are also some predigital
examples of citizen science like Butterfly counts (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizen_science)

Hi Julian,

one open question I would like to see addressed is how the digital and
on-the-ground responses to emergency situations (think earthquakes,
floods, disease outbreaks, war etc.) can be coordinated more
efficiently. Those responses are by no means limited to volunteers,
but frequently have a strong volunteer component.

A good example for that is OpenStreetMap, who have established
mechanisms to (re)map the affected areas within days and sometimes
hours (see https://www.hotosm.org/ ), and many of the responders on
the ground are using that.

There are a few more examples like that, but my impression is that, by
and large, the traditional responders are operating as closed siloes,
though awareness is growing that this may need to change.

My notes on the topic are at
https://github.com/Daniel-Mietchen/datascience/blob/master/emergency-response.md
.

Cheers,

Daniel

[Wiki-research-l] Digital engagement / digital volunteer work

2017-04-04 Thread Julian Fischer 
Hi all,

Wikimedia Deutschland is planning a workshop (June 23, 2017) on digital
engagement / digital volunteer work.

The aim of the workshop is to identify with other stakeholders ("classic"
NGOs, Free- and Open-Movement, Volunteers, state authorities) open
questions on digital engagement / digital volunteer work that should be
answered.

Research questions could be as follows:
- What is the difference between digital and analog engagement?
- What are the core characteristic of digital engagement?
- What should state authorities on the national and local level do in order
to support digital volunteers?
- How important is digital engagement for our society?
- ...

Is there anybody from the Wikimedia movement who can help us to broaden our
German perspective and give us international insides on this topic (e.g.
via a ten minutes video message)?

Do you know any inspiring study?

Cheers,

Julian Fischer
