We see that the collaborative and participatory nature of softwaredevelopment continues to evolve, shape and be shaped by communication channelsthat are used by developer communities of practice--both by traditionalcommunication channels (e.g., telephone, in-person interactions), as well associal features that may be standalone or integrated with other developmenttools (e.g., email, chat, and forums). Within a community of practice, softwareis a combination of the externalized knowledge (e.g., code, documentation,history of activities) as well as the tacit knowledge that resides in thecommunity members' heads (e.g., experience of when to use an API, or designconstraints that are not written down). Communication channels and developmenttools support developers in forming and sharing both externalized and tacitknowledge in a highly collaborative manner.  However, not much is known about the impact this participatory culture ishaving on software development practices nor on the knowledge-buildingprocesses. The research community has been studying the tools and communicationchannels used by developers in an effort to broaden our understanding. But,studying only the tools and channels can only provide a narrow perspective. Webelieve that software development has evolved beyond the agile process, into aParticipatory Process--A knowledge building process which is characterized bythe (1) knowledge activities and actions, (2) stakeholder roles, and (3) isenabled by socially enhanced tools and communication channels. Thus, it isimportant to gain an understanding of each one of the components, and the waythese components interact and shape each other.
