Tom Callaway on Building a Community
summary
A four-step framework frames community growth as a checklist: create an environment, encourage visible participation, promote community actions, invest in members. The claim is that those four steps suffice to guide decisions, with overlap expected, and the framework is used as a practical filter—if an activity maps to none of the steps it gets questioned. No tooling or metrics are prescribed, just a decision rule to prioritize work.
