Dear all, 
Joseph Reagle's book is out now, at MIT Press.

Good Faith Collaboration: The Culture of Wikipedia, by Joseph Michael Reagle Jr.
Wikipedia's style of collaborative production has been lauded, lambasted, and satirized. Despite unease over its implications for the character (and quality) of knowledge, Wikipedia has brought us closer than ever to a realization of the century-old pursuit of a universal encyclopedia. Good Faith Collaboration: The Culture of Wikipedia is a rich ethnographic portrayal of Wikipedia's historical roots, collaborative culture, and much debated legacy.
