| Abstract | 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 notably lacks empirical studies that detail which types of work are valued by participants in an online community. A content analysis ofWikipedia 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 |
