Enticing or persuading members to use communityware usually involves one-to-one communication which develops into many-to-many. Keeping online communities to the intended purpose often starts in public with all the members as audience but the challenge comes in the decision to make a private intervention.

99 Peterson and Cooper

99 Peterson and Cooper:
"Maki (1996) referred to the need to develop a citizenry of the workplace. According to Stamps (1997), communities of practice a term, he notes, that was coined by Ettienne Wenger and Jean Lave in their 1991 book, Situated Learning (Cambridge University Press) are possible when work and learning are integrated. The core principles of the communities of practice perspective are that (a) learning is social, and (b) learning happens on the job. Thus it is learning that gives rise to communities of practice, which are a way of thinking about how work gets done."
