Learning mainly
I’m back on the blogging wagon. For now. I’ve been playing a bit over on Facebook. Keeping up with Jeffery Keefer (Who has been working on research proposals and buying a portable bike), Sean Callaghan (writing a fascinating article on story telling, I just wish the powers that be would get this) – plus a [...]
What are the minimum requirements for software to support a community? In some respects this will depend on the scale, and the engagement of the members, ther longevity desired, the traffic etc.
I’ve been thinking about this hard with the launch of Ako Aoteraroa. I think my irreducible minimum functionality would include these functions:

Today I got rid of 400 or so folders, organised a GIG of files and proceeded one more step along the road to having my files sorted, which at the moment are over 40 GIG, down from 100. I discovered an old report I wrote on my first serious online workshop, written in week [...]
I’m a little tired. Two nights out with the kids, Music with Mark at Burnside High School (where we made over $90 in the 15 minute interval selling drink and chips) and Drama/dance with Anna. I was so tired last night I probablyu could have fallen asleep. And my wrists are playing up a little. [...]
Diane Holmes has coined a new word: blogbleary. I think I felt that way a little last night. Just getting the feel for a few of the FOC08 blogs.
Greg Barcelon has quite a nice post on his ideas on networks > groups > teams > communities. He also references the superb little summary at Cheryl’s [...]

The course – Connectivism and Connective Knowledge – (the wiki is here) will be delivered fully online with a combination of synchronous and asynchronous interaction. Participants who have enrolled in the course will receive feedback [...]
Just had an e-mail from some of my buddies at cpsquare announcing a January workshop on Community Platforms. Great Idea. I’ve been mulling around possible futures for Interact – maybe spin it off as a slightly narrowed aim (not have to worry about all the quiz, gradebook stuff, and concentrate on core business: learning community [...]
I even took part in the event last year ::FLNW:: but I had not really taken part in the Network vs Community vs Group conversations. Didn’t feel the need. Didn’t see the point. I think I will need to face this soon however.
SO: Marshalling some references.
Social Networks vs Online Communities. [...]
Communication channels proliferate.
In the last month or so, first cpSquare created an outpost group in Facebook, and now SCoPE. There is a conversation in cpSquare about Dave Snowden’s quote:
