4.a+Sociograms+of+Participant+Activity

The Sociogram of Participant Activity demonstrates the power of Super Users in the project. Super Users are defined as the top ten percent of users with the greatest sum of karma points. Karma points are given by users to other users as an identifier of quality, creative work and/or ideas. Users can give a comment 0 - 5 karma points based on the interpreted worth of the action and/or comment. More karma means the users as a community, view the work as quality or creative or even both. This signifies not just that the action was completed but that the action was completed in something of a more meaningful way. The sociogram also denotes, by color, who received karma from other users, the number of time karma was given from one user to another denoted by line thickness and number, and the Super Users which are marked as stars in the diagram instead of ovals.
