Jacob Nielsen article describes 90-9-1 Rule for "Participation Inequality"...

Summary: In most online communities, 90% of users are lurkers who never contribute, 9% of users contribute a little, and 1% of users account for almost all the action.


I have seen the same in real-world communities where a lot of people come to events and just a few people make everything happen. 

Burning Man avoids this trap.  Among others.

Some MOOCs (to use an educational example) have also been successful as highly participatory groups.


The downsides of biotech are the recurring costs and that project difficulty does not scale.
