- Monitoring online presence of the community
Improvement
- Monitoring competition and industry trends to determine what they are doing better, how they are doing it, and how this information can improve your community.
- Testing new social media platforms as they arise and determine which are a good fit for the company and implementing accordingly.
- Working as the middleman between the users and the internal development team to improve user experience.

In more recent years FLOSS communities gained attention for their community production and support models and regarding their way of knowledge creation and learning.
This paper illustrates how FLOSS communities function as open participatory learning ecosystems, focusing on the aspects content, support and underlying tools. And it shows differences between the FLOSS case, current OER initiatives and education at large.
It is a good study in Free University of Bolzano, by Etiel Petrinja, Alberto Sillitti, and Giancarlo Succi,
that presents a survey of mature Open Source Software communities.
The survey focuses on the analysis of the development processes adopted by such communities.
The results of the survey confirms basic ideas related to Open Source Software and explains in more detail specific issues related to trust and trustworthiness of the Open Source Software development process.
