Abstract

The Web is evolving from the Web of documents to the Web of applications. Web 2.0 communities need end-user programming tools to create interactive applications according to their skills and domain of interest. However, due to the different domains of programming in different communities, providing a generic EUP tool to all communities is not possible. We aim at encapsulating development of domain-oriented EUP tools as a community-based effort-taking place at two layers: (i) among different communities, and (ii) inside a particular community. Accordingly, we suggest a domain-independent model and its respective Web-based infrastructure to supports different online communities to create and appropriate end user development tools for building interactive artifacts collaboratively.
