[xtm-wg] Re: shared views of a community

[scott.tsao@boeing.com]

Paul's insightful message provoked some of the concerns I have been 
having with Topic Maps.  I think it will be very worthwhile for some 
of us, perphaps a handful people having the passion of investigating 
how TM paradigm can be applied for information/knowledge sharing in a 
CoP setting.  Now, the question I have is what will be the best way 
to do that:

I am not familiar with Com-Prac and e-form.  I am relunctant to just 
send a message to an e-mail address not knowing who/what is at the 
other end.

Those are good topics to prime the discussion.  Can we just start 
right here, assuming nobody would object?
