Communitas!

Communitas! the spirit of community is proposed to become the Wikimedia Foundation's freely-available Community Development Journal. The Journal is to be authored and reviewed by actual wikipedians from all walks of life and levels of academic skill. Its purpose is to examine and document how the community functions, what motivates contribution and how resilient workgroup relations have formed and continue to form to produce Wikipedia - the free encyclopedia.

This incubator is contextually tied to a "seed" project in the Wikipedia WikiProject namespace &mdash; Communitas! initialized by a user with a keen interest in community studies within online communities. The project is being planned through a structured network coordinated from Communitas at Meta. Finished documents will be released at Communitas!
