I decided to do a college paper on the Linux discourse community, particularly on how a person navigates between groups and gains "authority" within the community. If ya guys could answer some of my questions, that would be real swell and I'd appreciate it. (: 1. Would you consider yourself closer to a "novice" or an "expert" in the community? 2. How do "novices" and "experts" interact? 3. What would you say is the primary way(s) of communication? 4. Are there ways to attain authority (as a maintainer or leader of sorts)? If so, how? 5. What are some of the common goals of the community? Regards, Alex -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
