Abstract :
Community group members are often technologically disadvantaged end users. I explore the use of scenarios and wikis to encourage community groups to become more literate in information technology. My fieldwork suggests that scenarios and wikis can empower community group members as designers, allowing them to become producers of Web content rather than just consumers.
