ABSTRACT
This research project is a cross-culture study on social Q&A users' behavior. We search to understand variations on groups' contribution behavior to propose design alternatives that can promote intercultural collaboration. By studying large Q&A communities through social and anthropological lenses we plan to improve knowledge and techniques that can support designers and community managers to build better knowledge-sharing environments.
