This is an extremely important question, and I think Swimmer's answer, while true, is not sufficient. Having additional goals beyond just forming a community will probably make people more attracted/committed to the group. Simply working together towards a common goal brings people closer together.

Swimmers answer had too main points:

1) communities are nice, period
2) communities based around values and habits help you maintain and improve those values and habits

What else would you consider necessary to motivate you to create a community?
