Great stuff! i liked the definitions, and i really appreciate the community centered focus. That’s what stewardship is really about.

Thank you!

The concept of 'Service' as in 'serving the community' comes to mind.

supporting the use, espcially for the less tech-savvy crowds is definitely an essential role. Good point.

Our work started in the nest of communities of practice, but we have already seen the applicability of the frameworks we are developing in other types of communities: teams, groups and networks. As we test these ideas in real settings, we’re finding resonance for this community perspective on technology.

We need more conversations among stewards and between stewards, technologists, designers, developers and other community leaders. It’s a fertile place for innovation, and a way to tangibly improve how we can work in groups of all forms.

Ten years ago, when someone wanted to set up a set of tools to support a community of practice, they called up IT. Install Lotus notes. “Give me a SharePoint set up.” And that was that. Communities rarely had control of their online environments. There was a gulf between designers and users. Unless of course, they were coders.

“ Technology stewards are people with enough experience of the workings of a community to understand its technology needs, and enough experience with technology to take leadership in addressing those needs…
Stewardship typically includes selecting and configuring technology, as well as supporting its use in the practice of the community.” Wenger, White and Smith, 2007
