Behind every successful online creative collaboration, from Wikipedia to Linux, is at least one effective project leader. Yet, we know little about what such leaders do and how technology supports or inhibits their work. My dissertation investigates online creative collaboration in the novel context of animated movie-making, focusing on the role of leadership. I first conducted two empirical studies of existing leadership practice in online communities of animators. I am currently designing two Web-based collaborative systems based on these findings. My evaluation compares both systems with existing practice to elicit broader principles of online creative collaboration.
