> (Virtual) Community Informatics
> This mini-track provides one of the key international platforms 
> relating to issues concerned with community informatics (CI), the 
> study of the application of Information and Communications 
> Technologies (ICT) to the social, economic, political or cultural 
> goals of communities.  We take a wide view of community informatics 
> so as to include relevance to developing as well as developed 
> countries and rural as well as urban communities. As such CI is a 
> technology strategy or discipline which links economic and social 
> development efforts at the community level with emerging 
> opportunities in numerous business, societal and personal domains.
>
> There is a considerable interest in linking CI with the remarkably 
> parallel processes of "virtual" communities. The dialogue between 
> those with an interest in "geo-communities" and those concerned with 
> "virtual communities" proved to be an exceptionally rich one at 
> HICSS-34 and it is proposed to extend and deepen that dialogue at 
> HICSS-35.
