“…The most commonly studied form of that relationship comes from the analysis of what Mynatt et al (1997) term networked communities: those groups using technology to overcome distance. Bulletin boards, email distribution lists, USENET, MUD's, MOO's, and virtual environments have all provided opportunities for people to overcome distance and form new communities (see for example the following collections, Kiesler, 1997;Smith and Kollock, 1999;Churchill et al, 2001).…”

Abstract. This paper describes how the adoption of digital technologies by two amateur photography communities created coordination challenges. Digital technologies disrupted the classification schemes used not just to sort images into groups for competition, but also served to coordinate the community itself. In opening up the classification scheme, members were able to see and reflect on the sources used to establish the definitions that sorted images and organised their practices not just locally but more widely across various boundaries. Without having words about images, both amateur photography communities would have struggled to coordinate.

“…Community interaction can take various forms: it can be face-to-face interaction (e.g., direct social interaction between people); knowledge or material exchange (e.g., through advertisement on a local bulletin board); contributing to building a shared history (e.g., contributing an image to a community album); or taking part in joint community causes (e.g., promoting the community and its values or simply taking part in a community organized event). While community interaction can also go beyond a single, physically localized community (see, e.g., [Mynatt et al 1997], [Clark 2007], [Memarovic and Langheinrich 2010], and ] as examples), our focus on place-based communities implies interaction processes involving local community members.…”

The proliferation of digital signage systems has prompted a wealth of research that attempts to use public displays for more than just advertisement or transport schedules, such as their use for supporting communities. However, deploying and maintaining display systems “in the wild” that can support communities is challenging. Based on the authors’ experiences in designing and fielding a diverse range of community-supporting public display deployments, we identify a large set of challenges and issues that researchers working in this area are likely to encounter. Grouping them into five distinct layers -- (1) hardware, (2) system architecture, (3) content, (4) system interaction, and (5) community interaction design -- we draw up the P-LAYERS framework to enable a more systematic appreciation of the diverse range of issues associated with the development, the deployment, and the maintenance of such systems. Using three of our own deployments as illustrative examples, we will describe both our experiences within each individual layer, as well as point out interactions between the layers. We believe our framework provides a valuable aid for researchers looking to work in this space, alerting them to the issues they are likely to encounter during their deployments, and help them plan accordingly.

“…Rayport and Jaworski [2]. Definitions of community consist of "a social grouping which exhibits … shared spatial relations, social conventions … and an on-going rhythm of social interaction Mynatt et al [3]. Features of community are empowered by connection and communication functionality of the World Wide Web.…”

The community of downtown Wall Street in New York City continues to cope with economic disruption, due to the World Trade Center disaster of September 11. This case study explores design factors of engagement in the implementation of a Web-based e-kiosk portal, which is furnishing residents of the community with critical cultural, financial and social information on the re-building of the downtown economy. The e-kiosk portal was an emergency project implemented by computer science and information systems students at a major metropolitan university. The preliminary findings and implications of the study indicate the importance of social and technical cachet in the design of a Web portal community. The study introduces a framework for research into civic Web communities that empower its member residents.
