Abstract
This article reports on the ongoing social edition building process. Using the social
edition of the Devonshire Manuscript as a case study, the authors assess the scholarly
potential of the process of editing in public, with contributions and feedback from
the existing knowledge communities surrounding Wikibooks, Wikipedia, Twitter,
and other social media spaces. Working at the intersection of academic and social
media culture, they share the feedback of their advisory board, Twitter followers, and
Wikipedia editors.
