Abstract

Understanding the role of explicit coordination in virtual teams allows for a more meaningful understanding of how people work together online. We describe a new content analysis for classifying discussions within Wikipedia WikiProject - voluntary, self-directed teams of editors - present preliminary findings, and discuss potential applications and future research directions.
