在本文中，我们结合分布式领导和分布式认知的理论来解释人和技术在在线领导中的作用。当领导力得到有效分配时，结果可能是像维基百科和Linux一样的成功故事。然而，找到一个成功的发行版是具有挑战性的。在线上社区NewGranes，每年都有数百个名为《Colabs》的合作动漫项目启动，但完成的还不到20%。我们认为，许多Colab之所以失败，是因为领导者负担过重，缺乏足够的技术支持。我们引入了管道，这是一个旨在支持和转变领导力的协作工具，目标是减轻在线创意项目领导者的负担。通过一个名为Holiday Flood的为期六周、由30名艺术家组成的合作项目的案例研究，我们展示了管道如何支持重新分配的领导力。最后，我们给出了对理论和社会计算系统设计的启示。
In this paper, we integrate theories of distributed leadership and distributed cognition to account for the roles of people and technology in online leadership. When leadership is distributed effectively, the result can be success stories like Wikipedia and Linux. However, finding a successful distribution is challenging. In the online community Newgrounds, hundreds of collaborative animation projects called "collabs" are started each year, but less than 20% are completed. We suggest that many collabs fail because leaders are overburdened and lack adequate technological support. We introduce Pipeline, a collaboration tool designed to support and transform leadership, with the goal of easing the burden on leaders of online creative projects. Through a case study of a six-week, 30-artist collaboration called Holiday Flood, we show how Pipeline supported redistributed leadership. We conclude with implications for theory and the design of social computing systems.
