** The fanfiction platform Archive of Our Own hosts almost 5 million works and 2 million users. It is also an open source project that was designed and developed entirely by the community it serves—which consists largely of women and LGBTQ people—and relies on a small army of volunteers who maintain a value-driven search and tagging system. This talk traces the history, growth, and features of the archive, which include grassroots development, design for inclusivity and empowerment, the benefits and challenges of maintaining a volunteer development team, and how a number of these volunteers from groups traditionally underrepresented in computing picked up computational skills along the way. | |||
