Human beings are social creatures - not occasionally or by accident but always. Sociability is one of our lives as both cause and effect.
What you need for a participatory system to work: "a plausible promise, an effective tool, and an acceptable bargain."
Collaboration is not an absolute good.
Tools get socially interesting after they're no longer technologically interesting.
[C]ollaborative production is simple: no one person can take credit for what gets created, and the project could not come into being without the participation of many.
