It is often tempting to launch a community because you are ready to do so. But if the community is not ready then it is unlikely that it will continue to grow and foster engagement. This post by Richard Millington provides a clear reminder of the need to seed and grow a community before 'launching' it.

>> Measuring success
>> Measuring success
A useful post illustrating that measuring the quantity of 'activity' in an online community is not the same as measuring the amount of 'learning' that is taking place. What is more important is the need to define performance objectives for individuals and then measure how well they achieve these objectives.
