Collaboration is when multiple people work together on a project or idea. A wiki site makes this type of work possible. One contributor may start an article or answer. Then another may correct the spelling or grammar and add more to it. Then another person, or maybe the first one may try to make it flow better, and so on. If there is some contention, then they might discuss it on their talk pages or in the discussion pages, and then they come to agreement and fix things in such a way so that all parties are satisfied. So that is how contributors can be collaborative.
A contributor supports the overall mission of WikiAnswers: to foster the exchange of information and grow collaborative Q&As into a permanent information resource. This includes asking and answering questions, improving existing answers and collaborating with others. Contributors have an opportunity to reach additional milestones for their ongoing participation.
