How do people treat each other and why is the web different? How might we carry our values around with us online? What might we value in communities or consider in some way to be qualities a good citizen might have: nodding hello to people and their contributions to the community; allowing people their human foibles; holding certain values above personal or financial gain; being honest; being generous; keeping the commons well; not polluting each other's private space.

We enjoy these values in communities, regardless of whether they are online or in real space. How do they manifest in practice online? What is special about the Internet?
