Want to start an online community?

Online communities such as bulletin boards, discussion groups, forums and the like don’t just happen. If you set one up people won’t just come and join in — you have to actually work at building the community. The first thing to do is to be clear about what you’re doing, and why.

  4. What online tool should we use?
  5. How will we engage people?
