Existing wiki technology has successfully encouraged the collaborative development of content from a distributed and large set of individuals. However, a typical wiki does not encourage the community to actively collaborate or communicate with each other, unless they are required to collaborate. This project identifies a framework for addressing the shortcomings in typical wiki technology that encompasses ideas from social computing to develop a more community focus for the CreativeIT wiki. This project creates a socio-technical environment to support researchers, practitioners, and students to become a vibrant community focused on Creativity and IT, based on the formative evaluation of the existing CreativeIT wiki and related research in the field. A theoretically grounded and empirically evaluated framework is developed for the creation and evolution of a participation culture. Grounding the proposed research in a real problem provides a unique opportunity to assess the strengths and weaknesses on an ongoing basis. This research effort contributes to broaden the theme of Creativity and IT, involves more people to participate, and sustain the effort in the long-term future. The project identifies insights, mechanisms, guidelines, and support environments for participation cultures.

现有的 wiki 技术已成功地鼓励分布式的大量个人协作开发内容。然而，典型的 wiki 并不鼓励社区积极协作或相互交流，除非需要协作。该项目确定了一个框架，用于解决典型 wiki 技术的缺点，其中包含来自社交计算的想法，以便为 CreativeIT wiki 开发更多的社区焦点。该项目基于对现有 CreativeIT wiki 和该领域相关研究的形成性评估，创建了一个社会技术环境，支持研究人员、从业者和学生成为一个专注于创造力和 IT 的充满活力的社区。为参与文化的创建和演变开发了一个有理论依据和实证评估的框架。将拟议的研究立足于实际问题提供了一个独特的机会来持续评估优势和劣势。这项研究工作有助于拓宽创造力和信息技术的主题，让更多的人参与进来，并在未来的长远发展中维持这一努力。该项目确定了参与文化的见解、机制、指南和支持环境。
