Might I ask for your comments on this: Community Networks Ecosystem - toward simple terms and overview?
Also, it might be more useful to rename this topic to “Free Community Network Building Guide” as that will make it immediately obvious what is discussed here!
Edit: Oh you did! … I actually love your idea of the “game”… let’s brainstorm it!! Games are amazing vehicles for teaching intuition and routine - what would be relevant there is making the “diagnostic approach” relevant - eg. Develop the intuition for what the problem is, based on the symptoms.
If there are constant network problems, then it’s a technical issue. But if the technical people don’t have what they need, it’s an administrative issue. Etc…
