meeting logs & notes

Darren and Jim discussed the background section of the paper.

05-10-16

Aaron and Jim discussed the background section of the paper. Key takeaways: write the Durkhiem section more concisely and explicitly show the connection to our study, change the en:wp to be less lit-review-y and just show how it connects to ideas and expectations in the paper (also mention that it informs methods), cut a lot of "Applications to Organizations, Communities, and Social Movements", think of using Omnipedia earlier on because it shows that culture is acting as structuring (for content). Generally, think about building up conceptual relationships needed to understand the paper. Try writing a one sentence description of what each section is supposed to do in the paper.

Jim and Darren discussed a qualitative coding plan for the undergrads, and writing goals for the coming week. Jim showed Darren the location of data files on Jakku for future data analysis.

04-27-16

Jim and Darren discussed the overall outline of the paper and the framing of the background section. Specifically: 1) write the intro using the "the world is increasingly globalized" framing, 2) first include previous work on english wikipedia (especially on collaboration and bias, e.g. keegan, kittur, shaw, wagner, bryant), 3) then include small studies hyperlingual studies and studies on hyperlingual content (e.g. hecht, herring, hara), and 3) write about gap in previous lit (i.e. difference in collaboration practices)

04-22-16

created coding scheme in order to describe structure of talk pages

04-20-16

discussed project balancing and timeline, goals for theoretical framing, and qualitative coding
