Greetings all,


A couple of recent posts have gotten me thinking about the Vanagon.com
community.  Interestingly enough, a software engineer who regular writes
interesting columns I follow posted the following article about online
communities:


  <http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/BuildingCommunitieswithSo.html>


Note that I completely disagree with most of his points about what makes
an effective online community, but his analysis of why they form is
right on.  Just read until the QA part if this kind of stuff interests you.




FWIW,
-MB
