- Online Communities
- In September 1999, while with Jasubhai Digital Media, I setup a technical discussion Website called Lunateks using Squishdot and Zope. By March 2000 however, my attention was completely diverted to building ZDNet India. During the middle of the year, while making efforts to spare some time to reinventing the site, I drafted this planning document on how online communities work (I’ve been part of various such since early 1996). I never found that time and the site died of neglect by the year-end.
