most of the books mentioned so far aren't really about wikipedia. instead, they are very general (benkler, bruns, tapscott) and trying, with limited success, to describe broad processes influenced by floss cultures. reagle's book is miles ahead of the others in this regard. he is the only one who builds his theories from a working knowledge of the realities of wikipedia. mathieu o'neil sits somewhere in the middle. his book is not about wikipedia per se, but it does have an insightful chapter on wikipedia that contributes to his overall analysis of new forms of online authority. best Nate Tkacz School of Culture and Communication University of Melbourne Twitter: http://twitter.com/__nate__ Research Page: http://nathanieltkacz.net Current project: http://networkcultures.org/wpmu/cpov/about-2/
