Hmm, community is word that us currently a bit overused, at least in German 
media, it is almost being used to hint at "done as a hobby" rather than "done 
by professionals"

It is often also used as a superset for all people who create something ("the 
project") as well as people using and/or advocating it.

Might be a language specific problem, though.

Cheers,
Kevin
