<…> a CSCW system should provide facilities supporting users in
appropriating, exploring, modifying, negotiating etc. - cooperatively
and yet distributed - ‘community handbooks’ that are openly
incomplete and inconsistent. Providing support for distributed
cooperative appropriation, circumvention, modification of the system
is, perhaps, the toughest challenge in designing computer systems for
cooperative work. (Schmidt 1991)
Summary: Almost 15 years ago Schmidt formulated the challenge that
computer systems for cooperative work should not only be designed to
support users in performing work tasks, but also to support users in
appropriating the new collaborative technology. CSCW Research
regarding that challenge has been either based on the more analytical
perspective of describing the dynamics of appropriation (‘evolving
use’), or focused on the development of technologies to alter the
artifacts (‘Tailoring’, ‘End User Development’). This workshops aims
for establishing a broader research focus on technological and non-
technological approaches to support users in reflecting and re-
designing the use (and non-use) of collaborative technologies and to
set out a research agenda for supporting appropriation work in
collaborative settings.
