Motivation -- This research aims to study the collective activity involved in co-elaborating knowledge objects in online communities, in this case, Wikipedia. Research approach -- We propose the design of a graph visualisation for studying communicating around shared task foci in collaborative editing of Wikipedia. Findings/Design -- Task foci of edits and interpersonal relations between participants shape a unified task structure that can be used to study subtasks that give rise to collaborative discussion, within the global collective process. Research limitations/Implications -- Our analysis is restricted to the editing process of a single article. Originality/Value -- We propose visualisation techniques of collective online activity using combinations of relations between task and discussion spaces. Take away message -- Online collective epistemic activity comprises alternation between decoupled action and zones of close collaboration between specific specialised participants, in relation to specific subtasks bearing on fundamental issues. This can be visualised across task and discussion spaces using specific techniques.
