Abstract

Open collaboration communities depend on contributors. To reduce users’ engagement problems with collaborative systems, the use of gamification has been discussed. However, most gamification methods are generic and do not emphasize the collaborative aspects. This research aims to define a process to promote engagement in open collaboration communities by means of gamification. The process will be refined through action research cycles.
