Hi Mark (Steph)
Maybe we need a simple framework for thinking about communications and roles
* what is the domain (area) of activity … locality, online community, organisation etc
* what are the activities (fundraising, info exchange, development)
* what sets of skills are needed, and tools
* what roles/hats

This may involve existing roles developing new skills (e.g. community activists getting online), and those with new (online) skills understanding some traditional roles and skills.

For example I've just been working with a local neighbourhood project with five or six keen volunteers who run events, attend meetings on behalf of residents, do the fundraising, produce a newsletter and a website, etc Their existing roles include Chairperson, Secretary, Trasurer and - more relevant perhaps - include newsletter editor, website manager, community development worker and vicar [!] I can see how the web/social media can help them build their work and bring benefits to their community but this seems a long way from the context you envisaged in your proposal? On the other hand the underlying principles may still apply - so can you see ways of mapping the roles and skills you have identified here onto that sort of setting? Mark Hi Steph

However I work with community organisations and am wondering what parallels you see which could encompass the sort of digital engagement we are exploring at local level?

For example I’ve just been working with a local neighbourhood project with five or six keen volunteers who run events, attend meetings on behalf of residents, do the fundraising, produce a newsletter and a website, etc

On the other hand the underlying principles may still apply – so can you see ways of mapping the roles and skills you have identified here onto that sort of setting?

I've been trying to develop something like this with http://socialmediamafia.com What I miss on the list is working out the business model for using social media. To get a broader response, I think I will link this to our discussion channel on LinkedIn and ask this question. Tell us which job you do/or would like to do and if you don't fit in to one of the boxes, tell us why not. What do you think? I'll check back here later tonight and try to catch the weekend attention of LI. If you aren't a member of Social Media Mafia, maybe click the request button and I'll click you in this pm. Cheers Jo Great Steph. I’ve been trying to develop something like this with http://socialmediamafia.com
