Abstract

The Tzu-Chi Foundation is one of the largest philanthropy foundations in Taiwan, with millions of members spread around the world. The search and sharing of vast member-generated information which could be in audio, video, photographs and various text formats, has long been a complex issue. Recently this foundation conducted an experimental project tempting to tackle this issue with web 2.0 approaches. A web-based prototype integrated from open source web album and wiki platform was developed and trial ran. This paper will discuss the experience and implication of this experimental project in the online community and managerial context.
