本文考察了我们开发的一个名为LilyPad Arduino的开源工具包的分发、采用和演变。我们从2007年10月到2009年11月，追踪了该工具包及其用户社区的两年历史。使用销售数据、公开的项目文档和调查，我们探索了LilyPad和它的采用者之间的关系。我们调查了采用该工具包的开发者社区——特别注意性别——探索人们用它构建了什么，描述用户反馈如何影响工具包的开发，并检查人们如何以及为什么将他们自己的lilypad启发的工具贡献给社区。这是一幅新技术和共同进化中的新工程/设计社区的肖像。
This paper examines the distribution, adoption, and evolution of an open-source toolkit we developed called the LilyPad Arduino. We track the two-year history of the kit and its user community from the time the kit was commercially introduced, in October of 2007, to November of 2009. Using sales data, publicly available project documentation and surveys, we explore the relationship between the LilyPad and its adopters. We investigate the community of developers who has adopted the kit---paying special attention to gender---explore what people are building with it, describe how user feedback impacted the development of the kit and examine how and why people are contributing their own LilyPad-inspired tools back to the community. What emerges is a portrait of a new technology and a new engineering/design community in co-evolution.
