Hi all,

Still on the community thread, have a look at

http://growingpains.blogs.com/home/ ,

Aldo de Moor's blog. In particular, I think the current post is worth reading:

http://growingpains.blogs.com/home/2006/03/it_takes_at_lea.html

as well as

http://growingpains.blogs.com/home/2005/11/divided_communi.html

and

http://growingpains.blogs.com/home/2006/01/back_to_the_roo.html .

I think some of the themes are relevant to trying to place communities within the context of SOA in addition to the work that de Moor is doing with the "Pragmatic Web".

A quote from one of the other posts, "Community Modelling with System Dynamics" is quite interesting:

"This blog is about the evolution of virtual communities. One major problem with studying (virtual) communities is that by nature their examination requires a longitudinal approach. A community cannot be 'declared', but needs to grow slowly over time."

Regards,
