This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: 3-Interviews, Anthropology approach? Start w/ some potential users, Second survey and interview questions Anthropology approach?, Metadata for moderation difficult - making sure people don’t abuse the website [...] There is a lot of random nonsense on the website meaning the signal to noise ratio is rather low., Metadata for subscriptions Forum discussions have been abysmal especially in the beginning., Book-creation Implementation of PDF and book creation modes would boost the usefulness of the website, as well as the ability to archive preprints and reprints in an efficient manner., Segmentation Curation, Segmentation Mathworld and Wikipedia offer introductions to/ serious history of math threads, almost never offer proofs. Planetmath entries offer deeper history of math thread discussions that almost always include proofs., Affordances of "other systems" e.g. classes, books, wikipedia, openstudy (Do the media used have testable impacts?) The things I am interested in testing, Metadata for moderation Segmentation, Book-creation "use wikipedia sometimes. there are more articles and the length is typically longer so has better content." [...] Sometimes reading MathWorld and Wikipedia. They are good and contain more material, teXnical improvements rendering is too slow, Curation MathWorld’s overwhelming weakness is that it is centrally-edited, which creates a bottleneck., Segmentation Wikipedia is easier to use but harder to keep, and PM has taken the bad habit from Wikipedia of erasing too much and creating too little, Segmentation Probably the toughest thing has been to keep everything overall running smoothly (as an admin), and as a user, I found it problematic not having better "segmentation" of the content so that users contributing different sort of types of material didn’t "step on each other’s toes"., Second survey and interview questions Affordances of "other systems" e.g. classes, books, wikipedia, openstudy, Second survey and interview questions Give option to do interview directly., Stuff to show? Functional experiment to run., Start w/ some potential users Stuff to show?, Book-creation Curation, Segmentation The problem is that planetmath does not take into account how qualified a contributor is. Anyone can take a topic simply by being the first one to claim it, rather than being the most qualified to write it. This leads to great problems in quality. There is unfortunately more focus on quantity rather than quality. If I am to accept that, wikipedia seems a better place.
