I took a spin on the net looking for material on hosting, which was made kinda difficult by the fact that in an internet context, hosting most often means the technical hosting of an application or a site on a server somewhere. Anyway, one interesting link I did find was an article by Howard Rheingold called The Art of Hosting Good Conversations Online.

This fits extremely well with the ideas on hosting that I’m trying to develop, and almost all the points made apply to both online and offline hosting. Excellent stuff!
