Dear Foldit Community,
we want to share with you a work-in-progress short paper presented last Saturday at a workshop at the European Computer Supported Cooperative Work in Oslo:

Marisa Ponti, Igor Stankovic

The short paper presents some initial results from interviews with some players and from online documentation.
We are very grateful to the players who talked with us.
Every comments and thoughts you can share with us is welcome.
