My interest here is in the model: community enabled, promoted by a logic/logistics of gaming, where there are rewards, teams, cheers, and the prevailing sense of fun and games, even as something (or somethings) probably useful and practical are taught. Isn't that the point of games, at least those we play as a child? (You know, you learn teamwork, gamesmanship, and how to push or pull yourself. And perhaps what it means to consider that somethings are games and some things are not.)
