- define your goals
- learn about ICs (think of including a professional sociologist/communicologist)
- analyse who and where the potential community members are - do they belong to
some other IC? - Think of forming a clique and come to power! :-)
- understand real reasons why would/wouldn't they join you
- invite people in the right way
- analyse their present knowledge of Internet collaboration and communication tools
before imposing/suggesting it to the group (HULK irc example)
- define decision-making issues
- define resulting activity and keep track on how successful IC is
- analyse group member knowledge, skills and connections - divide them into working
bodies if possible to make your IC more efficient!
- analyse ideas - have an idea-management system in your IC (Pliva)!
