Quote:| This article looks (loosely) at maths of community relationships, and explores how that impacts on real communities. It also highlights the key features that community software needs in order to function effectively. And why Yahoo Groups etc don’t really work well when they get popular. |

Quote:| "Group forming is, in my opinion, the technical feature that most distinguishes the Internet's capabilities from all other communications media before it. Beyond either the hub-and-spokes broadcast networks of print, television, and radio, or the peer transactional networks of telegraph, telephone, and online financial transactions, the Internet's architecture also supports group-forming networks whose members can assemble and maintain persistent communicating groups." |

Looks interesting, especially this feature which I've been talking about for some time...
Quote:
Web and full text Email integration - Life is too short to keep logging on to web sites, or wading through mountains of unwanted emails, or worse still ,"there is a new message waiting for you at", messages. Using CommKit the member can choose, on a Topic by Topic basis, whether they want to participate by web or email. Urgent and interesting - by email. Not so, by web. Limited bandwidth, use email. Email REPLIES are automatically added to the appropriate Topic. You can even RESIGN from topics that get boring, by email.

but CommKit desparately needs a graphics and web designer.
