Abstract

This paper presents MikiWiki, a meta-wiki developed to prototype key aspects of the Hive-Mind Space (HMS) model. The HMS model has been proposed to share the visions of End-User Development and meta-design in collaborative online environment development. It aims to support cultures of participation and to tackle the co-evolution of users and systems. The model provides localized habitable environments for diverse stakeholders and tools for them to tailor the system under design, allowing the co-evolution of systems and practices. MikiWiki is aimed at supporting the exploration of opportunities to enable software tailoring at use time. Such an open-ended collaborative design process is realized by providing basic building blocks as boundary object prototypes, allowing end users to remix, modify, and create their own boundary objects. Moreover, MikiWiki minimizes essential services at the server-side, while putting the main functionalities on the client-side, opening the whole system to its users for further tailoring.
