The WikiSkripta portal (www.wikiskripta.eu) was established in 2009 as a respository of materials for the undergraduate education of medical students. The original intention was to create a repository of reusable learning objects (RLO) for teachers.
A polecy change and student involvement, however, have gradually transformed WikiSkripta into one of the most sought-after repositories of educational materials for medicine. Openness, accessibility and community-based approach are important aspects of the projects.
The motivation of contributors is of key importance for the development and sustainability of open community-based projects. We will use statistic data from the ten-year period of WikiSkripta existence to demonstrate which motivational elements have contributed to its success, how the project dynamics has changed and what the position of WikiSkripta among other educational project.
