What is the limit to the number of groups and communities we can meaningfully participate in and what tools and processes help us do that? The big challenge: Multimembership.

I think this is also not desirable, but that people really have to consider the added value of a community of practice and the effort that needs to go into nurturing this.

They are really interesting in relation the <a href="http://michelemartin.typepad.com/thebambooprojectblog/join-the-31-days-to-build.html">31-days-to-a-better-blog challenge</a> community developed over August also. One of the challenges seems to me to be knowing when communities do need to wrap up or integrate into existing community spaces, of when they need to continue with an identity of their own. The risk of the conference goer or life-long learning 'accumulating' so many communities so as to not be able to copy, balanced with gaining the maximum benefit from an ongoing extension of a community with strong foundations seems an interesting one. How do we manage the fact that not all participants in a short-term community will want to / have capacity to - continue in a longer-term community - and the way that can change the dynamics of the larger community? In opening up all short-term conference / learning experiences to continued interaction - do we loose the benefits of the 'wrapping up' that can help in taking stock of what a process has led to? I'm certainly challenged by your post to reflect on this more... Thanks for these reflections.

Interesting idea - anti-Walesism - I'll look out for it. Ironically our local elected Mayor is called Sir Robin Wales (a Scotsman) - quite a few people disagree with him - they are ant-Walesist!
