In the context of the animitta.org project, this means the methods by which Gotama’s teachings are transmitted, whether directly by teachers, through written texts, or mediated by other technologies, especially the internet.
In Gotama’s time, teaches’ roles were direct: ideas were passed on by word of mouth, from memory, & by direct example. Seeing a teacher in person allows you to observe their psychological affect, equanimity & moral behavior. The internet provides recordings of teachers, live conversations as well as written materials. All these abilities create new possible structures for the sangha. Over time, religious hierarchies grow rigid orthodoxies, corruption, & tend toward cynical uses by politicians. It seems wise to use technology to encourage a diverse, distributed sangha, retaining only small-village-sized groups of geographically close members who can provide direct support to each other. This does not need to exclude small groups of those who can’t find like-minded people near them, of course. There is also a role for people to curate information available online, but this same issue exists across all topics. It is notable that Gotama told his monks to use the local language of those to whom they were speaking. When he was encouraged to formalize his teachings in a single sacred language (Sanskrit), he refused.
