Community building

From Encyc

Community building is a process where individuals come together and begin to identify as a cohesive group in pursuit of common goals.

Problems

[edit | edit source]
  • Membership changes as original founders are gradually forced out by people in love with community process
  • Original goals gradually forgotten as community growth and maintenance become priorities

Control methods

[edit | edit source]
  • Disband community periodically and start anew
  • Start competing communities
  • Build a functional social contract
