Hi 'community builders', A few days ago I saw this link in a tweet: http://www.feverbee.com/2009/10/11fundamentallawsofonlinecommunities.html - "The 11 fundamental laws of online communities"
I don't have much experience in creating a community, but the "laws" seem reasonable and could be an inspiration for how a community around OL could be created. The applicability of these does IMHO depend on the relation with the Internet Archive (as these laws are written towards an organisation that wants to build a community around it/its service(s)). I guess it also depends on the goals that we have for OL as the "thing" we want to use/support. Some pages on the community pages are no longer empty, like the "introduce yourself" and the "projects" pages. That means there are ideas about what people want/do with OL :) http://openlibrary.org/community/introduce-yourself http://openlibrary.org/community/projects Ben http://openlibrary.org/people/bencompanjen - I'm thinking about putting something on the community pages about me as well :) _______________________________________________ Ol-discuss mailing list Ol-discuss@archive.org http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-discuss To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send email to ol-discuss-unsubscr...@archive.org
