It was great to hear more about SCoPE's history. I knew bits and pieces and this was a good way of bringing it together for me.
Items that made impressions on me (in no particular order):
- the openness of the community - people can pop in and out (like, um, me), and as a result, there is a sense of expandable community
- how Sylvia models community stewardship - in terms of facilitation techniques, institutional history
- Sylvia's observations on how members model good participation techniques - and how those techniques are often adapted by other members
- the ways in which Sylvia taps into community talent
