Our author 
In this article recently appeared on FirstMonday, Viola Krebs illustrates the motives behind the willingness of a large community of individuals to volunteer computing power to help solve a medical research problem. What I find mighty interesting for our endeavors is:
a) the literature review section of the paper (it looks like we are doing a good job in tracking the relevant literature even though we apply it to a different domain!)
b) the methodological section in which they present a fine method for discriminating Implicit and Explicit motivation mechanisms.
