In this introduction to the special issue on research in action, we briefly outline an argument concerning the importance of conversation,suggesting that, first, conversational uses of ICTs make them most suitable for community informatic development, and second, that their effective adoption and research requires conversation for that process to be effective.
This special issue (full table of contents) is the final output of the 1-day workshop that Marcus and I organised prior to the 2010 Making Links Conference in Perth.
