How large is your community? What year was your community initiated? How would you describe your community? How do you communicate with members? Newsletter, website, face-to-face meetings, online meetings, etc. For communication, what has worked and what didn’t work? What kind of sub-groups/task forces do you have within the community? How do you encourage or fınd new members? How do you valorise member input or efforts? Any general tips that you want to share for new communities starting out?
