 #Pro-actively enhance members' ''number'' of connections with each other through the [[Connector Initiative]], [http://www.bootstraponline.com Bootstrap Online], [[BootKarma]], initiatives and subgroups. We help increase the ''quality'' of member connections by creating the ability to become a [[Contributor]] and collaborate on initiatives.
 #Protocols are articulated through the [[Community Playbook]]. Every technology deployed has a set of protocols - for example, participation in the [[Bootstrap Austin Yahoo Group]] has the explicit protocol that members may not sell their wares unless in response to a question from a fellow bootstrapper. Additionally, the [http://www.bootstrapaustin.org/wiki/index.php/Community_Playbook#Community_Structure community structure] provides for 4 distinct levels of engagement: [[Participant]], [[Active Participant]], [[Contributor]] and [[Collaborator]].

Communities go through analogous stages of development to ventures - [[Ideation]], [[Valley of Death]], [[Growth]] and [[Rebootstrap]] - and right actions are needed for each stage.
