Abstract
Research in offline and online communities has identified feedback from existing members as an important factor in encouraging participation by new members. However, many online communities suffer from a lack of interaction among newcomers and existing members. There has been less research on how this interaction can be encouraged and facilitated. We hypothesize that the lack of knowledge about others in the community contributes to the lack of interaction. In this position paper, we discuss our suggested solution to increase this interaction by providing recommendations to newcomers about who they can contact to learn more about how the community functions.
