DESCRIPTION
We explore a new trend of creating help spaces that are inviting and social. We reviewed design developments in Wikipedia's Teahouse, IdeaLab, and The Wikipedia Adventure game These designs emphasize a playful spirit and supportive community atmosphere. We lay out the principles of "Fun is serious business" design, detail how that was implemented in the Teahouse community, and talk about opportunities for enhancing other spaces with a similar approach.
