The document summarizes the first 10 years of the ruralnet|uk collaboration network. It discusses how the network started and grew over time, including developing online services and attracting thousands of users across multiple networks. By 2006, the network faced challenges of being confined to a single platform. The network then underwent a review and changed its strategy to disaggregate services, make authentication independent of platforms, and exploit RSS to better share and aggregate content across different networks and platforms. This restructuring helped ruralnet|uk become a more distributed and accessible network for collaboration.
