I was asked by Warren Crosbie if I know of any papers which refer to any relation between Communities of Practice and Folksonomy. Warren himself, has an advanced wikispace called Tagunity.
I knew that Linda Hartley had researched folksonomy more than me, and she came up with a link to “The Medium is the Message” as a pdf file of a Thesis Proposal by Martin Kloos, I don’t know if that helps, but through truncation I’ve had a look at Martin’s Blog, “About my masters thesis, ‘Web 2.0′ and Communities of Practice…”
That looks like a valuable blog, it’s a shame I can’t read Dutch more than about 17.5%. The thesis proposal however is in English. I wonder why that is ?

Hi Andy, Well.. I guess we simply know that the majority of the people in the world don’t speak Dutch
, so if you want to make it more widely available…
By the way, Martin Kloos finished his thesis and I blogged it here: http://joitskehulsebosch.blogspot.com/2006/10/communities-of-practice.html
Thanks for the update and link Joistke. I suppose I should remove the “in progress” from my title then. Oops.
