Welcome to the Hacker Innovation Wiki. It has been created to discuss a term in detail that I have coined 'Hacker Innovation'. I am currently putting together a work in progress monograph entitled, Hackers and Innovation: Redefinition and Examination of Outlaw Sources of Generativity for Future Product Development Strategies and this site is a place for others to critically discuss and contribute to the topic.

This is work in progress, therefore I will be adding, updating, editing and revising sections based on new research, observations and feedback.

How to leave feedback?

There are several ways to leave feedback on each of the chapters, pages or sections. I have included a comments section at the bottom of each chapter/page and you can also register and leave comments in the discussion tab at the top of each page.
