In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to David McAlistair about building technical communities.
Why listen to this podcast:
• A community comes together around a common shared interest of some sort
• Communities need to be actively nurtured in a similar way to open source projects
• Communities require constant tuning, and this means you need to figure out ways to measure them
• Different types of content work for different members of the community and in different contexts – ensure your content matches the intent
• “Collecting data is only the first step towards wisdom, sharing data is the first step towards community”
