| == Who is a non-technical person ==
| |
| | |
| * Focus is not technology but they can contribute in some way
| |
| * Never learned programming concepts
| |
| * Didn't realize Wikipedia can be edited
| |
| * Maybe used a web content management system, blog, Facebook
| |
| | |
| == Types and motivations of participants==
| |
| | |
| * Traditional '''executive''' — "everyone else is doing it," inexpensive solution
| |
| ** ideally they will participate but getting them to can be difficult
| |
| ** may be more cautious about full commitment - license, security, who can access and edit
| |
| * '''Creative group''' or '''individual''' — may be inspired but needs constant guidance
| |
| * '''Worker bee''' — tasked to use the wiki
| |
| ** may be less receptive to wiki ideals, make it straightforward
| |
| * '''Outside contributors''' - often a stated goal of projects, have their own objectives
| |
| ** flexible to meet random demands
| |
| ** fair re-use terms

| = Goals =
| |
| | |
| == What do they want ==
| |
| | |
| # to solve their problem, often a "one of those" web site with some special requirements
| |
| # something that looks good - design is still paramount
| |
| # to learn about the participatory web
| |
| # to create reusable data?
| |
| # to have more control over their own site but keep things simple
| |
| ## usually they don't want to 'innovate,' just do what everyone else is doing
| |
| # to work with someone they trust
| |
| | |
| == What do I want ==
| |
| | |
| # avoid per client custom code, fit things into the developing picture
| |
| # '''promote digital literacy — filling out forms isn't it, stop treating computers as a typewriter'''
| |
| ## reference-able statements, reusable data under fair terms of re-use
| |
| # get people to consider issues of site design and how to organize information without overburdening
| |
| # '''promote transparency and co-development'''
| |
| ## help flatten organizations and their external relationships
| |
| ## don't be fearful and build hidden compromises, open it up
| |
| # grow my own skills based on relevant requirements
| |
| | |
| = Success=
| |
| | |
| In order:
| |
| | |
| # Useful one-off resource with lots of development input from stakeholders, possible to build on in future
| |
| # contributions by many types of people
| |
| # basic editing using forms
| |
| # wiki markup, categories
| |
| # sharing knowledge, creating more converts | |
| # Creating templates/queries/classes
| |
| # understanding of good class design, distributed data, licensing
| |
| # distributed applications, creating standards

| * Commitment vs follow through
| |
| ** Constant attention, guidance
| |
| * Tangly mess
| |
| ** Better use of SMW features, more forms, patience for gardening
| |
| * Misunderstood requirements, not really listening to what they want
| |
| ** Learning experience
| |
| | |
| = How =
| |
| | |
| Lots and lots of guiding
| |
| | |
| Inspire - self empowerment, learning culture, creating, leading, "coolness" (graphs), "where the web is going," open source and transparency, participatory web
| |
| | |
| Reassure - built on Mediawiki, always exportable
| |
| | |
| Threaten - others are doing it, loss of leadership
| |
| | |
| Blow past increasing complexity of security to simpler wiki model (all private or all public)
| |
| | |
| Really enforce importance of discussion tab, history, diff, learning from others ('''view source''').. site evolution as an interest
| |
| | |
| Appoint leads based on interests, give them responsibilities
| |
| | |
| Peer helpers — spread the virus
| |
| | |
| Translators for those who can't directly contribute
| |
| | |
| Profiles of uses
| |
| | |
| The importance of design
| |
| * promote the cues of Wikipedia but provide something original

| = SMW vs Wordpress =
| |
| | |
| Compare to Wordpress — "Raskin vs Englebart," dashboard + specialized appliance model vs learning to use a computer

| * '''Wordpress''' is task driven. Forms for every day tasks. Need to map MW extensions.
| |
| | |
| Every day tasks —
| |
| * Everything oriented towards content management around blogging
| |
| * SEO, user management
| |
| * "Delete" content, one click
