Communities of Practice in Local Government

So glad to see the Community of Practice (CoP) website for local government getting some blog coverage.

Happy to provide any help, information, advice to anyone wishing to use the platform, or anyone wishing to start up a similar initiative for their communities.

First of all, I want to say that I enjoy your blog, and I read it often. Second I would like to take you up on your offer to provide help and advice =)

I am a fan of the Local Government CoP site design, and I was wondering if there was a chance that your company is open to sharing the source code, or even selling it. I work for an International not-for-profit agency, and we have been modifying an open source platform to help our partners collaborate at a distance. I doubt we could afford to develop it to the point that it could do what the CoP site does, but I haven't found anything that I would want to pay for (I share your Sharepoint plights) to replace what we have done already. Please contact me if you have a solution. Thanks!

Dear Caitlin,

I'm presently discussing various implementation options with a number of organisations, and I'm sure we can do something for you that meets your needs (and budget). I don't have your contact details, but if you want to drop me a line at [email protected] we can pick up the conversation from there. Look forward to hearing from you.
