While numerous systems have been designed to support particular aspects of collective action, few systems support participatory, end-to-end collective action in which a crowd or community identifies opportunities, formulates goals, brainstorms ideas and develops plans, mobilizes, and takes action. To explore the possibilities and barriers in supporting such interactions, we introduce WeDo, a system aimed at promoting simple forms of participatory, end-to-end collective action. Pilot deployments of WeDo illustrate that sociotechnical systems can support automated transitions through different phases of end-to-end collective action, but that challenges, such as the elicitation of leadership and the accommodation of existing group norms, remain. </p> }, number={1}, journal={Proceedings of the International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media}, author={Zhang, Haoqi and Monroy-Hernández, Andrés and Shaw, Aaron and Munson, Sean and Gerber, Elizabeth and Hill, Benjamin and Kinnaird, Peter and Farnham, Shelly and Minder, Patrick}, year={2014}, month={May}, pages={639-642} }
