Interacting with newcomers leading to retention[edit]

  • Lampe & Johnston, 2005. Follow the (slash) dot. (Finding: users more likely to comment again if first comment rated, positively or negatively.)
  • Ducheneaut, N. Socialization in an open source software community: A socio-technical analysis. Computer Supported Cooperative Work, 14, 4 (2005), 323-368. (Nutshell: looks at socialization in open source software (OSS) communities and, via ethnography and network analysis, proposes that socialization occurs through identity creation, rights of passage and the creation of social networks.)
