Thanks so much for your perspective, Jose.
We will definitely be moving lots of the material (mostly the stories) from this site either to the World Cafe website, or the new Community Table.
Tell us more about the archive.org option - we'll be happy to look at possibilities like this.
Maybe we can continue the conversation by email? Here's the address [email protected]

- Marxe, gracias por la bienvenida! Little misunderstanding regarding Peter Block. There is no such thing as a Peter Block´s Community that I´m aware of. What I meant to say was that I'm studying Peter Block's book: "Community: the Structure of Belonging" where he summarizes all the main characteristics and nuances of the LGI methodologies that create community. I will be posting my own summaries of his book.
