FORTUNEFORTUNEFramework for participationFramework for participation
Users should take part on an equal basis as everyone else.
Users should share responsibility for, and influence on the project.
Appropriate methods and frameworks need to be chosen for the in-
volvement.
Users should be paid on an equal basis as everyone else.
Users should represent groups, not only his/her own case.
Users, as everyone else, must respect the inherent culture in R&D.
