A few additional links that may be of interest that were dug up after 
someone pointed the story out on IRC last night:

Michael Goodchild's paper that was mentioned in the story can be read

The paper was presented at the Volunteer Geographic Information 
Conference in December, theres a number of other interesting papers that 
were presented, listed on
