A successful community is a bit like a party • Someone has to think of it • Someone has to organize it • Someone has to invite
people to it • Someone needs to nurture
it • Someone has to make sure
it’s fun

Thirsty people don’t talk • Mixed drinks are fun • Some prefer their drinks
straight up • Water is important, too • Great drinks get
recommended • Keep the glasses full

Hungry people leave • Some will want snacks • Some will want more • Condiments are nice, too • Exotic foods can be scary • Silverware is a must • Let people fill their own
plates

People are important • Without people there is no party • Invite more than you expect to come • But be prepared for all of them to show up

How I measure community success:
Qualitative (more apparent, but doesn’t always carry as much weight)
– User engagement – are people there?
– Community feedback/stories – Do they miss it when it’s gone? – Part of “everyday” business
activities? – Could we work (as well) without it? – Employee satisfaction stories
Quantitative (harder to define, but often the first thing asked for)
– Activity levels – Registered user & lurker statistics – Employee satisfaction surveys – Employee retention rates – Time searching for information – Reducing duplicate efforts/projects
