Yes, but again I struggle with the distinction between readership and community. Would you say that an anthropologist reading the literature of a foreign culture becomes part of the community for that culture? I perceive these educators that you describe in much the same way, as getting the production of a foreign body and studying them. I would only feel a notion of "community" if they start engaging and trying to affect the publication. -- Christian Huitema
