在本文中，我描述了社区的各种理解如何激活拨号广播，一个基于移动的电话的独立媒体分发系统，津巴布韦民间社会和人权活动家的设计。我确定了三个不同的社区，并讨论了他们对设计过程的影响。最后，我考虑了活动家设计师在同时解决当今用户的需求和他们的项目希望创造的想象中的未来社区时所面临的挑战。
In this paper, I describe how various understandings of community activated the design of Dialup Radio, a mobile phone-based independent media distribution system for Zimbabwean civil society and human rights activists. I identify three distinct communities and discuss their influence on the design process. Finally, I consider the challenges activist designers face in simultaneously addressing the needs of present-day users and the imagined future communities their projects hope to create.
