What is it about?

We looked at the past two decades of published work about computing researchers working with community groups to develop technology. Through that review, we came to understand the themes of community-collaborative computing work. We also identified some areas where we think computing researchers need to pay attention to ensure future community-collaborative computing is beneficial for both researchers and communities.

Why is it important?

We need to develop approaches for engaging with communities of users in the technology development process, not only individuals. Groups of users are often more powerful than any one individual, which can level the playing field a bit between researchers and participants in research.
