 | | In brief, anthill communities are sort of the flip side of “communities of practice” — groups whose common bond is that they all work in the same field, or hold the same position, or for the same company, or whatever. |
 | | Anthill communities are instead communities of purpose — they form around a goal they would all like to see met. |
 | | The first flowering of anthill communities was in the Open Source/Free Software world, with projects like Linux, Apache, and so forth being produced as the result of groups of geeks scratching a communal itch. |
