当参与充足时，开放协作社区就会蓬勃发展。最近的研究表明，英语维基百科社区主要通过相对少数活跃的志愿者编辑的巨大努力构建了庞大而准确的信息资源。除了维基百科活跃的编辑社区之外，还有一个更大的潜在参与者：读者。在本文中，我们描述了一组使用文章反馈工具的现场实验，该系统旨在从维基百科的读者中获得轻量级的贡献。通过社会学习理论的视角以及与开放错误跟踪软件中相关工作的比较，我们评估了扩展参与模型的成本和收益，并定性和定量地表明，只要识别低质量贡献的成本保持较低，外围贡献者就可以为开放协作社区增加价值。
Open collaboration communities thrive when participation is plentiful. Recent research has shown that the English Wikipedia community has constructed a vast and accurate information resource primarily through the monumental effort of a relatively small number of active, volunteer editors. Beyond Wikipedia's active editor community is a substantially larger pool of potential participants: readers. In this paper we describe a set of field experiments using the Article Feedback Tool, a system designed to elicit lightweight contributions from Wikipedia's readers. Through the lens of social learning theory and comparisons to related work in open bug tracking software, we evaluate the costs and benefits of the expanded participation model and show both qualitatively and quantitatively that peripheral contributors add value to an open collaboration community as long as the cost of identifying low quality contributions remains low.
