[edit]Creating a sense of 'depth' for Wikipedia
[edit]- Wikipedia articles as sedimentation build-up -- how to show where information pools and collects / changes over time, increases
- Sedimentary layers:
- Article = grass
- Citations and sources = granite
How can a digital space have a tactile quality?
[edit]- Seeing other people's highlights on Kindle
- Pages that shift, move, respond based on inputs
- Interact deeply with each word (audio, translation, definition). An example: Iago
Wikipedia as collective memory
[edit]- What would change if we thought of Wikipedia as a 'sacred text'?
- Spacial proximity of Wikipedia articles
- How to avoid 'sedentarizing' Wikipedia in attempt to make it 'legible' but to instead embrace the 'the rich functional structure and complex behavior of the very organic entities'?[1]
Personal ergonomics of Wikipedia
[edit]- A website that helps you to feel 'embodied' while on Wikipedia -- perhaps an invitation to move / listen / speak while reading or editing
- An interactive and personal map of my history with Wikipedia with a recipe for others to remix to do the same
- How can Wikipedia articles be represented by time -- time invested in editing, time invested in reading
- How can Wikipedia center on and reflect readers as individuals?
- How to reflect a journey bridging from one article?
- Horizontal scrolling
- How might we use this as a metaphor for 'digging deeper' into a subject?
- What organizational metaphors do people use for understanding and navigating Wikipedia?
- How do systems foster a sense of safety? In what ways are contributors avoiding 'punishment' on our platforms?

[edit]Personalization vs. Customization
[edit]- How might Wikipedia reflect the time you spend with it back to you so that you are equipped to better understand what you need and how you feel?
- What might a 'Wikipedian' persona look like?
- What might a reader's dashboard for Wikipedia look like?
- How might we help visitors to experience Wikipedia as the place we know it to be?
- How might we help people remember the time that they spend on Wikipedia?
- How might we make Wikipedia more like a public park?
- How might help visitors to see and feel progress / time passing on Wikipedia?
- How might we help visitors see and feel Wikipedia's evolution, the movement within it?
