During Stage 2 of the ET.gov process individuals
like you self-subscribe to components
in which you have significant interest, thereby forming communities of
practice (CoPs) around them. We do not have the resources to
automate this stage yet but it may eventually include elements such as
those identified at http://xml.gov/draft/ETLifeCycleStage2.htm.
In the meantime, emerging technology (ET) CoPs of which we
are aware are
identified below.
CoPs may use whatever means they choose to collaborate around ET
components, such as CORE.gov,
the
Wiki at http://gsa.gov/collaborate,
the Solution Architecture Integration Lab (SAIL), Microsoft's Solutions
Sharing Network (SSN)
and/or other
means. Regardless of which collaborative means CoPs choose to
use, we will point to them if they are openly available on the Web and
conform to our linking policies.
If you are aware of any CoPs that have formed around
any of the components identified on the Search Components
screen that are not listed below, please let us know by using the
Contact ET.gov mailto link at the bottom of this page. If and,
hopefully, when resources are available to do so, we will provide (or
link and point to)
more automated means of subscribing to components identified in the
ET.gov process as well as identifying and locating the collaborative
sites
used by each CoP.

for collaboration but accesss to their site is limited to .gov
