The best description of community I ever found is from our friendly-competition - Fedora:
http://fedora.redhat.com/about/objectives.html Look: "Objectives of Fedora Core: 1. Create a complete general-purpose operating system with capabilities equivalent to competing operating systems, built for and by a *community* — those who not only consume, but also produce for the good of other community members." -Alexey.E.
