Appropriate Approaches to Online Community is the title of the first booklet in a series of *critical guides *I have been developing for community artists. It is an experiment that attempts to translate some of my PhD research <http://www.popomo.com/work_phd.html> findings. The booklet was inspired and informed by a period of fieldwork at CuriousWorks<http://www.curiousworks.com.au>. The guide explores multiple aspects of making online community networks, so that practitioners might develop appropriate Internet practices – network solutions that take the specific needs of individuals and communities in to consideration. The guide promotes critical approaches to online community building, to encourage the continuation of creative practices beyond community arts projects. The booklet is available as a free PDF. <http://www.popomo.com/research/blog/?p=842>If you download it, please leave a comment on the post regarding why the booklet is of interest to you (this will REALLY, REALLY help me to evaluate the project). The guide is CC licensed for re-purposing. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pip Shea http://www.popomo.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
