Mass collaboration is a form of collective action that occurs when large numbers of people work independently on a single project, often modular in its nature.[1] Such projects typically take place on the internet using social software and computer-supported collaboration tools such as wiki technologies, which provide a potentially infinite hypertextual substrate within which the collaboration may be situated. Open source software such as Linux was developed via mass collaboration.
