Hypergene - Amazoning The News:

There are 5 basic goals that users come to the web for:

1. Share […]
2. Inform […]
3. Create […]
4. Entertain […]
5. Transact […]

I'm noting this because these five goals might help to focus onto what I want to reach with Source.zone:

1. Share: Let users share their knowledge and opinions about Open Source projecs.
2. Inform: Of course providing information is the main goal of Source.zone.
3. Create: Users must be able to participate in the creation of the information that the site provides.
4. Entertain: Software need not be boring. We can use some of the mockups on the article's site as sources of inspiration.
5. Transact: Buy and sell? Not products for money, probably, but maybe some kind of reputation.

In one of the next posts, I will try to explain how we can use the Five Rules for Net Engagement as tools that will allow us to reach the five goals.
