What are the differences between developerWorks spaces and developerWorks zones?
The purpose of developerWorks spaces and that of our zones is slightly different. Our zones are managed by our staff; they have well-defined processes for how content is created and managed, content marketing and promotion processes, well-defined site navigation, and most significantly, the official backing of IBM. Since our spaces can be created by any mix of members, who may or may not be from IBM, they are not the same as our zones. A space is a more generic concept that allows content integration as well as distributed ownership and guidance. To enable this distributed ownership, we provide easy-to-use tools to create and maintain spaces which do not require specific technical skills beyond using a Web browser. We envision our spaces growing beyond the scenario of topics into other community models, based on each community’s needs and supported by more tools that enable these communities to gather and interact.
