Participatory Activities (# of recorded instances) User Testing (96) Soliciting Feedback (36) Direct Developer Contact (25) Voting on Esthetics (16) Voting on Functionality (12) Participant Input Participants and founders engage in 1-way or 2-way dialogue regarding project outcomes, though participants have no control over design decisions. Participants collectively decide upon single elements of project outcomes from a limited set of options. Proprietary Developer Kits (18) Design Collaboration (123) Design Team Membership (14) Open Source (32) Partial Open Source (9) Participants independently develop products, services or systems that supplement project outcomes provided by the founder. Participants individually communicate with founders to collaborate on the design of specific elements of final project outcomes. Participants are enabled and encouraged to freely use, modify, and redistribute project outcomes to affect independant collaborative processes. 41

71 involves active solicitation of crowd feedback on any elements of participate in user testing 61
72 developer kits, facilitates direct collaboration between individual crowd members as in the case of open source Q2: How prevalent are these participatory activities in 62
73 was the most prevalent participatory user testing activities in those was the least prevalent participatory this mechanism as backer rewards or reward tier opportunities, 63
74 Q3: Can the prevalence of participation in successful 64
75 This mechanism is the most broadly utilized and least peculiar this mechanism was fairly small, our analysis indicated that it was very limited in terms of its implementation, but was correlated with 65
76 participation, and was principally implemented within a limited Our analysis indicated that this mechanism was associated with (Brabham, 2012), we tentatively posit that founders who are 66

78 5.3 Suggestions for Future Research The primary purpose of this study is to frame future research in order Is the presence of participatory mechanisms a determinant of successful had been successfully funded, further research can address participatory to implement crowdsourcing or other participatory mechanisms into 68
