I didn't quite mean virtual community. I think that's a very well trodden area already (e.g. Facebook) and virtual community doesn't seem to make people very happy. It's certainly not a panacea for the social isolation that besets us. I was more talking about using tech to organize the mundane details of in-the-flesh community life so folks have more time for doing the real work of building community. That's what Gather is all about. I was just thinking aloud about how that might work out in a retrofit situation. There would be a lot of similarities—meal planning, work planning, space reservation, decision making, calendaring, group communications, etc. (Not all of these are supported by Gather yet, but working on it!) -- Tom Smyth Worker-Owner, Sassafras Tech Collective Specializing in innovative, usable tech for social change sassafras.coop · @sassafrastech
