WikipediaOS/Activity tracks

Hypothesis

Active or stigmergic signs in platforms generate critical mass of contributors, who can follow last changes easily. Activity tracks and signs lead to more activity tracks and signs.

Votes/comments

• Support Tracks could keep very active until a critical mass of potential contributors has given a significant amount of time and words/code to a certain project. --Esenabre 18:13, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
•  Comment One thing about: more activity (on wikis) , also attracting "disturbers". The question then being when this has then negative side effects on "producers". More activity on programming projects could also mean that untrusted code needs to wait longer (queued) until integrated leading to dissatisfaction perhaps? ----Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat 19:29, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
