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!

Thank you very much @halbluchs for putting this guide together. I'm building a maker community of my own and this has given me some good guidance.

@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.

@dardanth - yeah that's what we're thinking for next step: case studies of different kinds of communities and lots of examples!

@pforti I like it! Hopefully in the future there is a 2.0 version I was hoping for their to be more real-world examples (that may be a selfish criticism, because that's the best way that I learn), but I think your Facebook Group is a great substitute. Thanks for all the work behind this!

This is awesome - I really love how in-depth it goes, especially the questions related to Why. Just curious, is this something in continuous development or is this a final product?
