Making Web Communities Work

Making Web Communities Work 01/09/2004 09:58 PM

12 Variables for Understanding Online Communites: Whether or not a Web community thrives or sputters had always been kind of a hit-or-miss affair. This article identifies the 12 most important variables.

The twelve variables we've selected are most likely not all that exist, just the ones we find most important in our thinking right now. These variables struck us as important ways in which communities are differentiated despite the type of software chosen to carry a given community.

Recently I concluded my review of Fedora Core 2 (FC2) on Linux.com with the words, "It's an important step in the evolution of Linux ... but I won't be using it for production work anytime soon." What a difference a month makes -- I am now using FC2 for production work. Here's how I got around the distro's deficiencies.

Making Open Webmail work

Making Open Webmail work 01/06/2004 03:18 AM
Recently I was asked to provide Internet e-mail to a large segment of our hospital community. The mail had to be standards-based to provide the widest compatibility base possible for the 3,000 people who might have need of it. It had to be Web-based, but not overly complicated, and it had to employ open source (read "free") tools to help keep the budget down. Finally, it had to be secure, to comply with HIPAA regulations. To meet those requirements, I deployed Open Webmail, Sendmail, and Red Hat Linux 9 on a 1U IBM Linux machine.

Susan Mernit has some good ideas on how it might work. Example: Combine the NY Times or Washington Post with Technorati and Feedster. She asks:

"Why don't we see a major media outlet that will file lots of stories during the election find a way to work with Technorati or Feedster so they can have almost real-time links reflecting people's comments on--and links to--the stories--right on their web site?"

Making USB storage devices work

What do you do when your ISP tells you the reason your Windows box can't connect to the network is because its network drivers got corrupted? You download new drivers using your Linux client and use Sneakernet to move them to Windows. USB storage devices like M-Systems' DiskOnKey are extremely useful for ad hoc chores like this, and I was lucky to have one on hand. But how to make Linux mount the device as seamlessly as Windows does?

People Hate Work 04/21/2004 02:09 PM
Some people really do need to get a hobby. A group of small businesses in the UK is apparently angry at an amusement park for coming up with a silly ad campaign that tries to get people to visit IHateWork.co.uk. The Federation of Small Businesses actually believes that this site is making people hate work and skip out for a day to go to the amusement park. Do they actually believe that people who were thrilled with going into work every day suddenly realized, after looking at this site, that they really hate their job and should skip out for a day? Instead of getting all upset about this, perhaps they should have just taken a day off and gone to, I don't know... an amusement park?

Work-Life Balance Tilting Too Much
Towards Work 11/14/2003 02:51 PM
One of the downsides to the fact that people can work whenever they want is that it's sometimes hard for people to stop working. According to a study done in Europe, many overly stressed out workers are asking their bosses to cut their hours and salary just to gain back some control over their lives. Meanwhile, many bosses in IT are increasingly worried that their staff is going to burn out. Of course, a lot of that could be solved if companies hired more people, but they still seem hesitant to do so.

Wikipedia Needs $20,000

Wikipedia Needs $20,000 12/29/2003 11:47 PM

Letter to our readers and contributors: This is either heartbeaking or inspiring, I'm not sure which. It turns out that Wikipedia is failing under the load created by its popularity.

...the three servers that currently host all of Wikimedia's projects in all languages are simply not enough, especially as two of them have turned out to have hardware defects. ... I estimate that $20,000 in hardware would get us to a point where we have reserves to handle the failure of any one machine. Additionally, we would be well-poised to continue our track record of astounding growth.

That's the heartbreaking part, since Wikipedia is one of the most perfect Web resources ever created. But looking in on this page right now (10 p.m. CST), I'm seeing "Money raised: $23,382.17." If that is an accurate figure, and the Web community has altruistically pulled Wikipedia out of a downward spiral, then it makes me glad to be alive.

If someone can confirm that Wikipedia's needs have been met, please post confirmation.

“Reference Publishing” is the business of publishing “reference works”: dictionaries, encyclopedias, and the like. By definition, it includes the Wikipedia, which is intended as a reference work. I have remarked kindly on the Wikipedia and taken exception when it came under attack. There have been a lot of voices chiming in on this issue; herewith a survey and, based on my years in reference publishing and because I care profoundly, I’ll add my own observations...

A Wikipedia Blog

A Wikipedia Blog 01/16/2004 11:33 AM

I'm tempted to start a blog solely for linking to great Wikipedia entries. One of my morning rituals is to hit the random page link at Wikipedia and see where it takes me. I've found some fantastic articles that beat anything in a paid resource.

Take a browse through the Billiant Prose page and see gems like Sniper, Crushing by Elephant (morbidly fascinating), Batman, Dick Tracy, James Bond, etc. You could make an entire blog out of links to great Wikipedia entries. According to the statistics page, there are almost 200,000 entries. That should keep you busy for a while.

Someone should do this.
