OpenSpace Idea

Brian Keegan: Staying in the Loop: Structure and Dynamics of Wikipedia's Breaking News Collaborations
- editor trajectory
  - each editor is a node, each edit is an edge from previous to current author
  - more linked nodes closer to center
  - more linked nodes bigger
- network diagrams → hairballs for breaking events, more linear for non-breaking articles
- might be useful to detect vandalism, article quality, trending topics

Categorizing texts for emotional categories
- certain words are classified to positive or negative emotions
