Let communities have memory, yes! "The answer is not to rebuild the old Internet exactly. We cannot, and we should not want to. The better answer is to keep making places. Make sites with archives. Keep feeds visible. Link to other people’s work. Run small forums when they make sense. Let communities have memory. Let websites look different from each other. Let some parts of the Internet be specific enough that they do not scale cleanly." #community-knowledge-management #data
