The author describes such efforts as the SHARE cooperative associated with IBM, established in 1955. Similar user groups followed. In time, computer manufacturers recognized the groups' interest in participating in product decisions. The role of user groups shifted away from common solidarity, as users began buying software rather than writing it themselves. The author concludes that independent programmers may still have an opportunity to contribute to the common good. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2007 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
