“Technology stewards are people with enough experience of the workings of a community to understand its technology needs, and enough experience with technology to take leadership in addressing those needs…
Stewardship typically includes selecting and configuring technology, as well as supporting its use in the practice of the community.”
Wenger, White and Smith, 2007
