Rules for Communites that Last

Dmitri Orlov has been studying communities that have been able to stay together for long periods of time. He has distilled the rules into the post, Communities that Abide — The XIII Commandments. This is part of a book he is writing, Communities that Abide, which will only be available in paper form for a short time by preordering at http://cluborlov.blogspot.com; after that you will only be able to get it in ebook format.
