Achieving perpetual mass for any community only takes place if the underlying purpose of the community is appealing to enough users that they decide to contribute some of their cognitive surplus to its furtherance. More of that discussion here. Discuss
Note to self, there are some good tutorials and 101s out there which should help a lot in a few areas. Make time to get through Eric White's Functional Programming tutorial. Back it up with the Project Euler series. Rob Conery's MVC Storefront series Chris Mills' Web Standards Curriculum because foundations are important Mike Taulty's Silverlight 2 series I'm looking for a good one on Ruby and on Javascript as well. Anyone got anything good? The new Wrox First wiki on Javascript frameworks looks good, but it does cost.
