How to run an online community
In a recent piece in the Online Journalism Review, Rob Miller — longtime operator of a community forum and website devoted to open-source software, and one of the senior editors at the popular Digg-style tech site Slashdot — gives some worthwhile tips on how to run a good online community.

His other rules include “Your readers know more than you do” and “Let your readers judge each other so you don’t have to judge them yourself.”
