User profile: you can make open only two things: contact details and contribution. You can’t (formally) add “CV experiences” because of the legal rules (trade unions), so you have to rely on people voluntarily adding information about their experiences. Then you run into cultural problem – “if I’m the only one visible expert, everyone will call me and I will not be able to do my work”.
Large vs. small communities. If trust relationships could be only developed in a group up to 150 people, can we call the group of thousands “a community”? Are we talking about different types of communities that evolve/work according different rules and that can contribute to the different business needs? I’d like to look for more background reading about it. (ask for the research done).
