成功的在线社区有复杂的合作安排，工作表达和整合实践。他们需要技术基础设施来支持广泛的劳动力。然而，研究文献缺乏实证研究，即在线社区中的参与者对哪种类型的工作进行了详细说明。 Wikipedia Barnstars的内容分析（对参与者的个性化赞赏的个性化令牌）揭示了广泛的有价值的工作，远远超出了简单的编辑，包括社会支持，行政行动和表达工作的类型。我们的分析开发了一种理论镜头，以了解Wiki软件如何支持创建工作的表达。我们对从事大规模合作的社区产生了影响。
Successful online communities have complex cooperative arrangements, articulations of work, and integration practices. They require technical infrastructure to support a broad division of labor. Yet the research literature lacks empirical studies that detail which types of work are valued by participants in an online community. A content analysis of Wikipedia barnstars -- personalized tokens of appreciation given to participants -- reveals a wide range of valued work extending far beyond simple editing to include social support, administrative actions, and types of articulation work. Our analysis develops a theoretical lens for understanding how wiki software supports the creation of articulations of work. We give implications of our results for communities engaged in large-scale collaborations.
