Abstract
Community Networks (CNs), as conceived in the 1990s (Silver 2000; Bishop 1994; Schuler 1994) are virtual (or online) communities, strongly rooted in a specific territory, whose shared focus of interest is ‘public affairs’. Community networks have provided a framework for gathering civic intelligence (Civille 2000; Schuler 2001), for supporting the development of people’s projects (De Cindio, 2004), and for promoting public dialog among citizens and between citizens and local institutions (De Cindio and Ripamonti 2005; Ranerup 2000; Osborne and Gaebler 1992).
