It is long, but “Part One” and “Three Things to Accept” are IMO the most
interesting and relevant reads, and discusses real experiences (and often
failures) of online communities that should be heeded.
I offer this merely as another input for the ad hoc group to consider as they
restructure LUGNET, especially as we potentially move from a “monarchy” to a
“democracy”.

Thanks, Mark, for linking to this. I finally got a chance to print it out and
read it. The article illustrated and then tied together many disjointed thoughts
I’ve been having about our online communities. This helps a lot in refining my
thinking.
I’m only disappointed some projects I’m involved with are a bit beyond the stage
of easily encorporating some of the suggestions. But, others are not :-)
