What you can do… • Make sure to start with a carefully chosen focus • Where can we make a difference that no other can? • Provide an appealing infrastructure • Support the community
Important lessons • Set clear goals and focus • Be clear from start how far you will go • Define and communicate policies clearly. Freedom of speech or censorship? • Scalability • Involve and empower frequent users • Give frequent privileges (make them co-admins) • Critical mass in both content and members • Choose a marketing strategy and make sure to reserve resources
Important lessons 2 • Conservatism – expect that no one likes changes • Be careful to change user interfaces and procedures dramatically • Involve at least the co-admins and get support • Focus and reserve resources for continuous maintenance and development
