Communities of practice as a social movement

I just went though Erik van Bekkums blog which, by the way, is a very lively report of Wenger's CPWeek in Santa Cruz two weeks ago.

Erik writes: "Communities of Practice as a social movement is about trust, not friendship, equality or liberation"

This reminds me of this comment made by one user of Siemens' ShareNet portal back in 2000: "I guess the real infrastructure of this network is trust" and this quote of Karl-Erik Sveiby: "Trust is the bandwidth of communication."

The internet as an trust building infrastructure... Something governments should really think about.
