This document summarizes experiments with online communities conducted by the Knight Foundation. It describes the roles of a community manager, the workflow for releasing content, and two specific online communities - the News Challenge Garage and Knight Pulse. The News Challenge Garage hosted projects, meetups, and mentoring. Knight Pulse launched as a beta site about news and information innovation, featuring video conversations. Next steps discussed include gathering feedback and integrating Knight Foundation's online presences.
