Peer-production communities can create great value and foster innovation for their members, even in situations where resources are extremely scarce. How these communities create or acquire necessary resources in such settings is an important theoretical and practical question. In this paper, I investigate how a peer-production community overcame substantial resource challenges, using the analytic lens of bricolage theory, in a longitudinal study of HomeNets, communities of residents that developed residential Internet infrastructures and services for a million users in Minsk, Belarus, without funds, material resources, knowledge, or formal legal status. The findings illustrate that communities develop their missing resources by engaging in multiple coexisting bricolage forms and processes, which help them to successfully incorporate the individual and collective resource building efforts of their participants and address the challenges specific to the continuously evolving community. Based on the findings, I propose a model of community resource development with bricolage, discuss theoretical and practical implications for studies on communities and bricolage, and suggest areas for further research.

即使在资源极其稀缺的情况下，对等生产社区也可以为其成员创造巨大的价值并促进创新。这些社区如何在这样的环境中创造或获取必要的资源是一个重要的理论和实践问题。在本文中，我使用拼凑理论的分析视角，在对 HomeNets（为白俄罗斯明斯克的 100 万用户开发住宅互联网基础设施和服务的居民社区）的纵向研究中，调查了对等生产社区如何克服大量资源挑战, 没有资金、物质资源、知识或正式的法律地位。调查结果表明，社区通过参与多种共存的拼贴形式和过程来开发其缺失的资源，帮助他们成功地整合参与者的个人和集体资源建设努力，并应对不断发展的社区所面临的特定挑战。基于这些发现，我提出了一个社区资源开发的模型，讨论了社区和拼贴研究的理论和实践意义，并提出了进一步研究的领域。
