>Even as the term "movement" is beginning to be applied to ICT-supported
>community networking to characterize an emergent body of concerns in the
>research and practitioner communities worldwide, the terms "community",
>"community network" and "community networking", and their relationship,
>are in need of clarification and definition. As a working definition,
>community networking refers to the process by which a community-focused
>technological system (an ICT-supported community network) develops and
>evolves in a geographically anchored, physical community. This special
>issue is interested in several aspects of this process, both as they
>relate to the development and evolution of the community network and of
>the idea of community itself. Although we are especially concerned in
>this special issue with the developmental process, research reports on
>outcomes from use of such networks in communities would be of interest
>as well.
