howD all,
as a professional online community
manager and developer, i also agree
that the lego community needs to
"get w/ the program" as it were.
online communities are held together
by sharing standards among multiple
kinds of websites re: their topic
(in our case LEGO)
If we had a community of open standards
(colors, website issues, xml, etc)
we could synchronize many issues from
site to site and it would greatly enhance
our streamlining as a community
but the main point is that its cooperative
and the online lego communities are too often
competitive.
alas...
