The trick then is to make sure that no third party appropriates any of these contributions thus preventing others having access and that no one is denied a reward for their valuable participation if rewards are available.

This reminds me of an article I read lately. By reading it, without knowing more about communities, you get the idea that original content creation is the only way to participate in social media. This, of course, could not be further from the truth, as there are number of ways to participate by other, lower-level means: remixing, mashing up data, commenting on othersâ€ original content, blogging about it, rating, voting, recommending, organizing content (tagging), etc. So I agree with Sami Viitamaki like he expresses himself at http://www.samiviitamaki.com/2007/04/27/on-social-media-and-participation/.
