Abstract
In this paper we present a web-based design-environment – MikiWiki – which demonstrates how the concept of meta-design can be practically supported. It enables and fosters collaboration between meta-designers, designers and end-users. By running a case study to evaluate the appropriateness of MikiWiki in a co-located setting, the effects on interaction between these roles and the support of creativity were observed to derive socio-technical options for improvement. Conducting such an evaluation requires clarifying the basic properties of meta-design in a way that makes its effects observable.
