There’s a great post about the reluctance of people to take community seriously. Also a response to it too.
Both worth a read if you’re into ‘community’.

About
I'm Rosie Sherry. I currently spend my time working on building up community and products for the software testing industry. This includes running the Software Testing Club, a community of 11,000 registered software testers. Producing The Testing Planet, bring awesome-ness content to software testers. And The Ministry of Testing - events and learning opportunities.
I love the web and all the opportunities it brings.
Keywords that describe me: (lean) startups, communities, social web, business strategy, collaboration, coworking and software testing.
I'm married with 3 young kids. One of my biggest drivers is to achieve a work life balance for my family. This isn't easy.
The idea of having a representative in the street sounds pretty weird. echoing early turn of 20th Century Communist ideals which as we know now it landed not just the streets but the population of Russia in fear and entrapment. I think Rosie what you maybe aiming at is genuinine old fashioned neighbourlisness which is based on spontaneous care and support. This only happens when there is unconditional love. Love your other ideas and ideals. Keep going.
