life is a rum go guv’nor, and that’s the truth

A community is its problems

One way to define a community is by the problems it cares about.

How does one begin to participate in a community?

If you accept my characterization of a community, you begin participating in the community when you begin caring about the same problems that the community cares about. If you wanted to create an entry path for people to join a community, you could create a sequence of problems to solve and resources to begin solving them including records of past attempted solutions.
