GRA6825 running assignment, due November, 2008
This assignment is intended to teach you something about social software (slightly different from collaborative software) - and what better way than to participate in the largest social software project of them all? Wikipedia is an on-line encyclopedia, written collaboratively (that is, by the readers). It uses wiki technology, and everybody can update everything. Order is maintained by common goals and common behavioral norms.
Assignment: (Be advised that this assignment takes time - especially getting used to the Wikipedia format and culture - so a good idea is to start early and work on it intermittently but consistently.)
Good luck, and welcome to the ‘pedia!
