Presented at: Workshop on Visual Interfaces to the Social and the Semantic Web (VISSW2009)
Webpage: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-443/paper12.pdfWe present two approaches to the general task of leveraging the social aspects of the World Wide Web (WWW) to facilitate knowledge transfer among site participants. In particular, we have built two independent communities for the purpose of streamlining access to and immediate sharing and execution of computer programs for the generation of computational art. The first site, OpenCode, allows visitors to compile and execute Java Applets submitted by members of the community, providing a social context for executing and sharing code on the Web. Based on feedback from site members, we developed a second site, E15:Web, which serves as a repository for images and programs for a new desktop-based programming environment called E15. In E15, user programs are scripts that are executed in read-eval-print loop (REPL) mode, not requiring compilation. This programming model allows users to develop programs iteratively, emphasizing visual results over development process. This approach relaxes notions of completeness that OpenCode site members felt were inherent within a more formal submission model. Thus, E15:Web serves as a community for works in progress, in an attempt to encourage participation through the absence of finality inherent within traditional submission models.
