Abstract:
|
Wikipedia provides a successful model for volunteer creation of collaborative content. Another example is R, now almost universally used in statistics graduate programs. This talk discusses the implications of these models for how the ASA can move further into the electronic age, providing new services and functionality to its members and to allied scientists.
