Hmm. I've been quiet for a while but I'm going to chime in on this KM
thing.

I see a pretty good fit between KM and IFETS, that is, KM seems fair game
for discussion here.

To be a little more precise, I think the broad topic of KM is relevant and
the more specific topic of "Communities of Practice" (CoPs) is extremely
relevant. In my private consulting practice I have a client that is very
committed to fostering communities of practice not just as a way of sharing
knowledge but also of creating it.

I can see clearly why instructional systems design might not be such a good
fit with CoPs but, as noted above, I also think CoPs should be of interest
and relevant to IFETS and its members.

Counterpoints?
