The Community Canvas is a framework that helps people and organizations
build stronger communities. It provides a template for anyone who brings
people together.
Think of this as the "Business Model Canvas", but for communities.@halbluchs@pforti@supermombartz have spent the last 15 years building and participating in communities, and while each is unique, they've realized that they all share a similar structure. As such, the Community Canvas is making this structure visible to help people build more sustainable and successful communities.
@chrismessina Thanks so much for hunting the Canvas Chris! We're excited to have launched it after three years of work. Great communities can be such a powerful way to connect people and share experience and knowledge. But building and maintaining communities is hard. That's where the Canvas can provide guidance and structure - whether you're trying to build a new community, or improve an existing one.
We're grateful for any feedback or thoughts from other community builders!
@chrismessina thanks so much for your support Chris, very much appreciate it and would love to hear if you have any advice on how to improve future versions of the Canvas. Thank you!
Thank you all for supporting us on our journey! We are grateful for your help to reach more community builders and most importantly, learn from them. Please reach out to us if you have any feedback or advice on how we can improve future versions of the Canvas and make it as valuable as possible for community builders anywhere, and hopefully through it help the world build stronger communities.
@pforti It would be awesome if you could share anything new that you've learned since releasing this guide. I've got a few new ideas with your guidance so far.
@victoria_ivanova we've built the Canvas based on observations from many different kinds of communities, would LOVE to hear any ideas you have how to improve it or how we could make it more practical for community builders!
@pforti@victoria_ivanova I'd like to see different scenarios where you deconstruct communities like: reddit or quora and show us how it really works with the philosophy of canvas.
