Decentralised production thrives on weblogs, wikis and free software projects. In Cyberchiefs, Mathieu O'Neil focuses on the regulations of these working relationships. He examines the transformation of leadership and expertise in online networks, and the emergence of innovative forms of participatory politics.What are the costs and benefits of alternatives to hierarchical organisation? Using case studies of online projects or 'tribes' such as the radical Primitivism archive, the Daily Kos political weblog, the Debian free software project, and Wikipedia, O'Neil shows that leaders must support maximum autonomy for participants, and he analyses the tensions generated by this distribution of authority. 606 $aInternet$xSocial aspects 606 $aComputer networks$xSocial aspects 606 $aCyberspace$xSocial aspects 606 $aAuthority 606 $aInterpersonal communication 615 0$aInternet$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aComputer networks$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aCyberspace$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aAuthority. 615 0$aInterpersonal communication. 676 $a302.231 700 $aO'Neil$b Mathieu$01515299 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781153703321 996 $aCyberchiefs$93750955 997 $aUNINA
