[kde-community] Wikipedia is a game?! What can we learn for KDE?

[Lydia Pintscher]

Hey folks :)

As part of Evolving KDE I've been looking at other communities and how
they're doing. And I stumbled upon the video of a talk again that I
want to share with you.

Last year at Wikimania (Wikimedia's version of Akademy) I had the
pleasure of talking for 2 hours with Raph Koster (lead designer of
Ultima Online among others) over beer. We talked a lot about how
Wikimedia can learn a lot from game design. The next day he gave an
excellent talk about how Wikipedia is a (bad) game:

54)
It's interesting to see how much of what he talks about can also be
applied to KDE.


Cheers
Lydia

It's important that we get input from many core people in our
community.
