Slides for an invited presentation I gave to the the National Archives and Records Administration’s Online Public Access (OPA) Integrated Product Team in College Park, MD in 2013.
A talk I gave to kick off the International Internet Preservation Consortium's workshop on crowdsourcing. Most of the talk is about reframing and unpacking the key components of crowdsourcing.
Sea Grant: New Tools for Outreach and EngagementOregon Sea Grant
The document discusses using social networking and new technologies for outreach and engagement. It provides examples of how Oregon Sea Grant is using blogs, podcasts, wikis, Twitter, and Facebook to share information and connect with audiences. It also discusses using tools like video capture, facial recognition software, and handheld devices at the visitor center to better understand visitors and evaluate the effectiveness of exhibits through analytics and adaptive content. The goal is to enhance education, research, and advancement through two-way communication and free-choice learning.
This document discusses the exponential growth of information consumption and creation globally. It notes that we now create as much information in two days as was created from the dawn of humanity until 2003. However, most information is transient and seen by no one. The document then discusses issues around filter bubbles online and the blurring of information sources and platforms. It defines media literacy as a set of perspectives used to interpret messages, and as a continuum involving cognitive, emotional, artistic and moral dimensions. Key aspects of media literacy are discussed as personal locus, knowledge structures and skills.
Twitter has potential as a journalistic tool for several reasons:
- It allows for instantaneous reporting of news as it breaks and spreads information rapidly through social networks.
- It provides diverse eyewitness perspectives on events worldwide.
- Some journalists currently use Twitter to research topics, find story ideas and sources, get feedback, and promote their work.
- However, Twitter also has limitations as a standalone journalistic medium due to its character limit, lack of context and verification, and issues around censorship and misinformation. It works best as a supplement to traditional news rather than replacement.
This document discusses the educational potential of games and provides guidance on finding and using educational games in the classroom. It notes that almost all teens play games and highlights benefits like ongoing assessment, motivation, and self-paced learning through mistakes. When looking for games, teachers should consider games with conceptually challenging material, multiple entry points, personal goal setting, and parallel challenges. The document recommends raising awareness of educational games and optionally assigning them as homework or using them in large or small group activities to supplement classroom lessons.
Next Steps for IMLS's National Digital PlatformTrevor Owens
This keynote, at the Upper Midwest Digital Collections Conference, provides and update on the National Digital Platform and 20 projects supported to enhance it. The national digital platform is a way of thinking about and approaching the digital capability and capacity of libraries across the US. In this sense, it is the combination of software applications, social and technical infrastructure, and staff expertise that provide library content and services to all users in the US. As libraries increasingly use digital infrastructure to provide access to digital content and resources, there are more and more opportunities for collaboration around the tools and services that they use to meet their users’ needs. It is possible for each library in the country to leverage and benefit from the work of other libraries in shared digital services, systems, and infrastructure.
We need to bridge gaps between disparate pieces of the existing digital infrastructure, for increased efficiencies, cost savings, access, and services. To this end, IMLS is focusing on the national digital platform as an area of priority in the National Leadership Grants to Libraries program and the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian program. We are eager to explore how this way of thinking and approaching infrastructure development can help states make the best use of the funds they receive through the Grants to States program. We’re also eager to work with other foundations and funders to maximize the impact of our federal investment
People, Communities and Platforms: Digital Cultural Heritage and the WebTrevor Owens
Libraries, archives and museums are sites of community memory. The first public computerized bulletin board system was called community memory. Trevor’s talk will explore the connections between the development of the web as a global knowledge base, the open source software movement, and digital strategy for libraries, archives and museums. This keynote talk will synthesize research on the history of online community software with practical experience working on open source digital library projects. This exploration underscores the essential role cultural heritage institutions need to play in this era of the web and some important distinctions between how the concept of community is deployed in discussions of the web.
Digital Preservation's Role in the Future of the Digital HumanitiesTrevor Owens
Slides from an invited presentation I gave to the University of Pittsburgh's iSchool.
"Ensuring long term access to digital information sounds like a technical problem. It seems like digital preservation should be a computer science problem. Far from it. In this lecture Trevor Owens, a digital archivist at the Library of Congress argues that digital preservation is in fact a core problem and issue at the heart of the future of the digital humanities. Bringing together perspectives from the history of technology, new media studies, public history, and archival theory, he suggests the critical role that humanities scholars and practitioners should play in framing and shaping the collection, organization, description, and modes of access to the historically contingent digital material records of contemporary society."

Técnicas de leitura em língua inglesa comunicação socialodlachris
This document discusses techniques for reading English texts as applied to the field of social communication. It outlines 5 reading techniques: 1) recognizing text genres, 2) using prior knowledge, 3) identifying cognates between Portuguese and English, 4) skimming to identify the general topic, and 5) scanning to find specific information. The goal is to show how limited English proficiency need not prevent understanding texts through strategic reading techniques.
The document discusses paradigm shifts in mass media communications from print to radio to television to digital. It provides examples of how each new medium was initially met with resistance but later saw widespread adoption and growth. The emergence of the internet and new digital technologies has led to another major paradigm shift with increased audience fragmentation and the rise of user-generated content. This represents a shift from traditional top-down mass media models to more collaborative and conversational new media platforms.
In this session, we talk about the mobile and social web, and how it shapes economy, individual behavior and well-being, political events, and society as a whole.
The document is a manifesto for the magazine "we" (www.we-magazine.net) that aims to discuss how social media is transforming society, culture, and the economy. It argues that the rise of the internet has changed our concept of "we" and enabled more collaborative and participatory models. The magazine will explore examples and ideas that make the world a better place by connecting people and their thoughts from around the globe. It will take an open and inclusive approach dedicated to empowering collective intelligence and cultural diversity.
Use Your Words: Content Strategy to Influence BehaviorLiz Danzico
What if we were truly open to the language in our cities, our neighborhoods, our city blocks? What is our environment telling us to do?
In this workshop, we’ll let the language of the city guide us to explore how words, specifically the words of our immediate contexts, shape our behavior. By being open to the possibilities, we’ll explore how language influences both the micro and macro actions we take. We’ll go on expeditions in the morning—studying street signs to doorways to receipts—comparing patterns in the language maps we’ll construct. In the afternoon, we’ll look at what these patterns suggest for the products and services we design.
You’ll walk away having learned how words influence behavior, how products and services have used language for behavior change, and having tools for thinking about language and behavior change in the work you do.
Spend the day letting words use you, so you can go back to work to use them with renewed wisdom.
This document summarizes key points about changes and continuity in journalism. Disruptive revolutions are ongoing as assets become liabilities and new competitors emerge, but journalism retains core functions. While information routes and volume have changed dramatically, the purpose of journalism remains the systematic search for truth on issues that matter to society. Successful journalism adds value by activities like data analysis, creative search strategies, and explanation amid information abundance. Mastering change requires experimentation over rigid innovation and focusing efforts where journalism, customer data, and technology intersect. The moral and democratic purposes of journalism remain unchanged alongside skills like truth-telling and attracting attention, despite threats from new technologies and business models.

The document discusses some lessons learned from projects at the British Library Labs. It notes that the names and labels given to collections can shape assumptions. It also discusses how initial requests from researchers for "all of collection X" often exceed what is practical. The document outlines how words like "collection," "access," and "crowdsourcing" can lead to misunderstandings between parties if their meanings are not carefully discussed. It emphasizes the value of experimentation and embracing failures as opportunities for learning.
This document discusses digital tools for humanists and their impact. It examines Douglas Engelbart's vision of augmenting human intellect with computers. While tools like Pliny aimed to help with tasks like annotation and note-taking, they have had little uptake by humanists. Reasons for both the success and failure of digital tools are considered, such as whether they address the actual work of humanists, their usability, and whether they reach the right audience. The document also references debates around what constitutes scholarly work and the role of interpretation in research.
This is my presentation from the panel "Innovators, Early Adopters, and the Rest of Us--Getting the Most from Your Library's Technology" at the Texas Library Association Annual Meeting, 2010. I shared the stage with Stephen Abram and John Blyberg and we had a great time!
The document summarizes an internship project to design wearable devices for recording self-talk sessions. Two prototypes were developed - Meemo, a wearable audio journal designed to be worn discreetly and blend into clothing, and Cueco, a conceptual approach. Meemo allows users to manually record their verbal thoughts for later reflection through a paired mobile application. Initial user research found people talk to themselves privately for clarity and decision-making but are unused capturing these sessions. Functional prototypes explored subtle forms to make recording discreet and avoid social stigma around self-talk.
The document summarizes an internship project to design wearable devices for capturing self-talk sessions. Two prototypes were developed - Meemo, a functional wearable audio journal, and Cueco, a conceptual approach. Meemo takes the form of clips, stickers, and silicone casts that discreetly record voice memos. A mobile app helps users visualize themes in recorded sessions. The devices could support cognitive behavioral therapy by replacing printed thought records with audio journals. The goal was to design wearables that blend into outfits and facilitate self-reflection through captured thoughts.
Technology as a Cultural Practice - UX AustraliaRachel Hinman
How do you design a mobile money service for people in rural Uganda who’ve never had a bank account? How do you test the usability of a mobile phone’s address book for users in rural India who’ve never had an address… yet alone an analog address book?
As cheap PCs and inexpensive mobile phones flood the global market, usability and user experience professionals will encounter more and more questions like these – questions that challenge not only our research tools and methodologies, but our fundamental assumptions about how people engage with technology. In this talk, Rachel will share insights she’s gained through creating experiences that must scale across vastly different cultures. She’ll share her thoughts on the challenges and opportunities designing for global markets will present to the user experience industry in the years to come.

It emphasizes telling a story with a protagonist, conflict, and resolution to engage audiences. It also provides tips on understanding audience needs and tailoring content accordingly.
Behaviour Change for Sustainability National Congress, Social Media Harvest P...Jess Miller
Throughout the two days of the National Behaviour Change Congress my team of six social media scribes captures key speaker notes and insights as well as worked with participants to familiarise themselves with Twitter.
There were six Congress topics and tweets were arranged accordingly, further discussion took place with other behaviour change practitioners internationally and many participants signed up to Twitter for the first time.
The Harvest presentation was the final presentation given at the Congress and fed back to the group what had happened on social media including key barriers and opportunities for next time.
The reality is that content in today's digital world is growing exponentially year over year for every organization. To explore, expose, extract, and express the most relevant content and to produce the most value from it requires that content experiences a constantly evolving collaboration between humans and computing technology. This presentation explores the importance of content strategy in the "age of digital transformation".
Caring for Digital Collections in the AnthropoceneTrevor Owens
The craft of digital preservation and digital collections care is anchored in the past. It builds off the records, files, and works of those who came before us and those who designed and set up the systems that enable the creation, transmission, and rendering of their work. At the same time, the craft of digital preservation is also the work of a futurist. We must look to the past trends in the ebb and flow of the development of digital media and hedge our bets on how digital technologies of the future will play out. This talk explores key issues for exploring and imagining that future. We start with consideration of some key emerging technologies relevant to digital collections and then zoom out to consider the future of digital collections in the context of technologies of surveillance, precarity of both cultural heritage institutions and cultural heritage workers in the context of neoliberalism, and then explore the broad set of challenges facing the future of collections stemming from the increasing effects of anthropogenic climate change. Drawing on frameworks for maintenance, care, and repair this talk concludes with an opportunity to reflect on and consider how memory and information workers should approach the digital present and future of our institutions and professions.
Theory and Craft of Digital Preservation Lightning TalkTrevor Owens
I’m thrilled and honored to be a finalist for the Dutch Digital Heritage Network Award for Teaching and Communications for my book, The Theory and Craft of Digital Preservation. This is particularly significant to me for two reasons. First, I started out on this book directly as a teaching and communications effort and second because the international digital preservation community that DPC supports and encourages has been so vital in helping me develop and refine the ideas in this book. For this talk, I’m going to give a little context of where the book came from, how it was developed, and the overwhelming response I’ve received for it all of which I think make it a good fit for this particular award.

Planning for Digital Preservation in OrganizationsTrevor Owens
This document outlines the key areas of digital preservation that were discussed at a 2019 workshop in Mexico City. The presenter used the Levels of Digital Preservation as an assessment tool to help understand the risks in each area of digital preservation, including storage, integrity, control, metadata, and content.
Make it Last: Principals for Digital Preservation and ConservationTrevor Owens
The document provides an overview of principles for digital preservation and conservation from a guest lecture given by Trevor Owens. It defines digital preservation as working to ensure enduring access to digital content. It then outlines 16 axioms of digital preservation, such as institutions being key enablers of long-term preservation and how digital preservation requires ongoing work and resources. It concludes with six practical steps anyone can take to start improving digital preservation efforts.
Testing Our Assumptions: The Centrality of Design Thinking and Scholarship fo...Trevor Owens
This document outlines an approach for the future of library practice that centers design thinking and scholarship. It argues that libraries are vital infrastructure for developing and disseminating knowledge and must grow and learn through dynamic applied research. The document recommends adopting user-centered design as a guiding framework, holistically mapping library ecosystems, developing a well-defined toolkit for projects, and using an iterative approach like Scrum. It also emphasizes considering values and impacts on the entire system level. Next steps include reframing work as places for experimentation, making design the focus of scholarship, including values in practice, and exploring Scrum for organizing teams.
We Have Interesting Problems: Some Applied Grand Challenges from Digital Libr...Trevor Owens
Libraries, Archives and Museums now have massive digital
holdings. There is tremendous potential for library and
information science, computer science and computer engineering
researchers to partner with cultural heritage institutions and
make our digital cultural record more useful and usable. In
particular, there is a significant need to bridge basic research in
areas such as computer vision, crowdsourcing, natural language
processing, multilingual OCR, and machine learning to make this
work directly usable in the practices of cultural heritage
institutions. In this talk, I discuss a series of exemplar projects,
largely funded through the Institute of Museum and Library
Services National Digital Platform initiative, that illustrate some
key principles for building applied research partnerships with
cultural heritage institutions. Building on Ben Schniderman’s
The New ABCs of Research: Achieving Breakthrough
Collaborations, I focus specifically on why the public purpose
and missions of cultural heritage institutions are particularly
valuable in establishing new kinds of collaborations that can
simultaneously advance basic research and the ability for people
of the world to engage with their cultural record.
Start Today: Digital Stewardship Communities & CollaborationsTrevor Owens
The increasingly digital records of our communities and our organizations require all of us to become digital stewardship and digital preservation practitioners. The challenge seems daunting but the good news is we don’t have to do it alone. A distributed network of practitioners and learners across the country are increasingly finding ways to learn together and share and pool their resources to tackle these challenges and provide enduring access to our digital heritage. Owens’ talk will provide examples of how archivists are rising to the challenge and practical guidance for both digital preservation beginners and experts.
Scientists’ Hard Drives, Databases, and Blogs: Preservation Intent and Source...Trevor Owens
Carl Sagan’s WordPerfect files, simulations emailed to Edward Lorenz, a database application from the National Library of Medicine, a collection of science blogs, a database of interstellar distances; each of these digital artifacts have been acquired by archives and special collections. Born digital primary sources are no longer a future concern for archivists, librarians, curators and historians. As historians of science turn their attention to the late 20th and early 21st century, they will need to work from these born-digital primary sources. We have already accumulated a significant born digital past and it’s time for work with born digital primary sources to become mainstream. This presentation will give a quick tour of individual born digital artifacts toward two goals. First, I argue for the need for archivists, curators and librarians to reflexively develop approaches to establishing preservation intent for digital content grounded in a dialog with the nature of a given set of digital objects and it’s future research use. Second, for historians, I suggest how trends in computational analysis of information in the digital humanities should be combined with approaches from digital forensics and new media studies to establish historiographic practices for born-digital source criticism. I conclude by suggesting the kinds of technical skills archivists, librarians, curators and historians working with these materials are going to need to develop. Just as historians working with premodern documents require language and paleography skills, historians working with digital artefacts will increasingly need to understand the inscription processes of hard drives, the provenance created by web crawlers, and how to read relational databases of varying vintages.
Platform Thinking: Frameworks for a National Digital Platform State of MindTrevor Owens
Talk presented as a closing keynote to the Biodiversity Heritage Library's National Digital Stewardship Residency program meeting at the National Museum of Natural History. This talk reviews the National Digital Platform framework developed by US IMLS in collaboration with various library, archives and museum stakeholders and presents a series of additional conceptual frameworks on the role of software in society and psychology.
Digital Infrastructures that Embody Library Principles: The IMLS national dig...Trevor Owens
Digital library infrastructures must not simply work. They must also manifest the core principles of libraries and archives. Since 2014, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) has engaged with stakeholders from diverse library communities to consider collaborative approaches to building digital library tools and services. The “national digital platform” for libraries, archives, and museums is the framework that resulted from these dialogs. One key feature of the national digital platform (NDP) is the anchoring of core library principles within the development of digital tools and services. This essay explores how NDP-funded projects enact library principles as part of the national framework.
The IMLS National Digital Platform & Your Library: Tools You Can UseTrevor Owens
As libraries increasingly use digital infrastructure to provide access to content and resources, there are more and more opportunities for collaboration around the tools and services that they use to meet their users’ needs. To this end, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is making substantial investments in developing collaborative and sustainable technical and social digital infrastructure for libraries through the National Digital Platform initiative. In this talk, you will learn about a series of digital tools, services, training opportunities and resources IMLS is funding through the National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program and the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program. The presentation will focus on ongoing projects and efforts that you and your library can get involved in and make direct use of. It will also provide insight into how you could develop competitive proposals for projects that could be funded through this national effort.
Next Steps for IMLS's National Digital PlatformTrevor Owens
This document summarizes projects funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) related to developing a National Digital Platform. It describes 7 projects improving open source digital library software tools and communities, 4 projects focused on scaling up shared services, 2 applied research projects related to collections at scale, and 3 projects aimed at improving access for all and inclusion. It provides brief descriptions and links to more information for each of the 20 projects. The overall goal is to expand the digital capability and capacity of libraries across the United States by prioritizing promising digital tools and services.
Macroscopes and Distant Reading: Implications for Infrastructures to Support ...Trevor Owens
A talk exploring the implications for digital library infrastructures in the face of developments in how humanities scholars are engaging in computational research of library collections.
This document discusses a student project to create a mobile game interpreting ruins and a glass house. It provides links to student blogs about the project. It includes screenshots from a prototype and discusses what elements of the project are significant - the student reports, storyboards, and reflections, rather than the app itself. It also discusses how meaning and significance can be found in artifacts and their documentation.
The document discusses Viewshare, a tool that allows users to dynamically interact with and understand digital cultural heritage collections by tapping into the temporal, locative, and categorical data within collections. Viewshare is used by librarians, archivists, curators, and researchers to better understand and expand access to their digital collections. It allows users to import, augment, build, and share visual displays and dynamic facets of collections for embedding and exposing as open data on websites.
Doing Less More Often: An Approach to Digital Strategy for Cultural Heritage ...Trevor Owens
Trevor Owens, a digital archivist at the Library of Congress, advocates for a "do less more often" approach to digital strategies for cultural heritage organizations. This involves software, metadata, and processes doing less but serving specific local needs, and making collections available more quickly while still focusing on digital preservation, exhibition, and user access. The approach promotes sustainability through modularity, transparency, and flexibility to shift work between experts, computers, and volunteers.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

5. Most successful crowdsourcing
projects are not about large
anonymous masses of people.
They are about inviting
participation from relatively
small interested and engaged
members of the public.
7. These projects can continue a
long standing tradition of
volunteerism and involvement
of citizens in the creation and
continued development of
public goods
10. “Work consists of whatever a
body is obliged to do.
Play consists of whatever a
body is not obliged to do.”
Mark Twain, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
11. A Citizen Scientist, Archivist,
or Journalist is not a laborer.
They are Amateurs in the
best possible sense of the
word.
12. Amateur: (French amateur
"lover of“) a person attached
to a particular pursuit, study,
or science, without pay and
often without formal training.
29. Why Wasn’t I Consulted:
is the fundamental question of the web…
Humans have a fundamental need to be
consulted, engaged, to exercise their
knowledge (and thus power), and no
other medium that came before has
been able to tap into that as effectively.
The Web Is a Customer Service Medium, Paul Ford
30. If you tap into the human need to be
consulted you can get some interesting
reactions. Here are a few: Wikipedia,
StackOverflow, Hunch,Reddit, MetaFilter,
YouTube, Twitter, StumbleUpon, About,
Quora, Ebay,Yelp, Flickr, IMDB,
Amazon.com, Craigslist, GitHub,
SourceForge, every messageboard or site
with comments, 4Chan, Encyclopedia
Dramatica. Plus the entire Open Source
movement.

36. Measuring the Diameter of a tree
1. Measure the circumference of the tree (6 feet);
2. Remember that the diameter is related to the
circumference of an object according to the
formula circumference/diameter equals 22/ z (or
pi);
3. Set up the formula, replacing the variable
circumference with the value of 6 feet;
4. Cross-multiply, getting 22 (diameter-unknown )
= 42
5. Isolate the diameter by dividing 22, obtaining
42/22
6. Reduce the fraction 42/22 1.9 feet
46. Helping someone succeed is
often about getting them the right
tools. All tools can act as
scaffolds to break down a task.
We frequently embed our
expertise inside our tools.
49. Ben Brumfield runs a range of
crowdsourcing transcription projects.
At one point in a transcription project
he noticed that one of his power
users was slowing down, cutting
back significantly on transcribing
these manuscripts.
50. The user explained that they had
seen that there weren’t that many
manuscripts left to transcribe.
51. For this user, the 2-3 hours a day
they spent working on transcriptions
was an important part of their day
that they had decided to deny
themselves some of that
experience.
52. They needed to ration it out.
They needed to make sure that it
lasted.
53. After our basic needs are covered, the
things that generally matter most to us
are
Purpose: causes we care for
Identity: things that define us
Meaning: doing things that matter
Belonging: being a part of something
55. The Concepts and their Questions
1. Human Computation: How could we use
human judgment to augment computer
processable information?
2. Wisdom of Crowds: How could we empower
and consult with a community of users?
3. Scaffolding: How can our tools act as
scaffolds to help make the most of users
efforts?
4. Motivation: Whose sense of purpose does
this project connect to? What identities are
involved?
