Dissertation on Translating Open Courseware

For those of you following the open courseware scene, Meng-Fen Grace Lin has just completed her thesis at the University of Houston:

Sharing Knowledge and Building Communities, a Narrative of the Formation, Development and Sustainability of OOPS

OOPS is the Opensource Opencourseware Prototype System involved in translating content from MIT's OpenCourseware.

This thesis offers an unusually candid look into the politics and personalities involved in an open source volunteer-based organization.
