Abstract
This paper describes new ways for virtual communities to extend the common information, to cover the relevant aspects of information, and to be aware of the ongoing activities in communities. It presents the community toolbar, a portal solution which provides functions for a community to become a lively and growing virtual community. Especially the paper focuses the support of group awareness in communities. Firstly, we discuss the requirements for awareness support. Secondly, the concepts of awareness profiles and awareness contexts are introduced. The main chapter discusses the functionality of the community toolbar in detail.
