The CEFRIO has posted the English translation of a guide produced in French earlier this year, the Guide to the Implementation and Leadership of Intentional Communities of Practice: Work, Learning and Networked (pdf, 170 pages - large download!)

Etienne Wenger, John Smith, Kim Rowe and I contributed Chapter 5 on Technologies and Communities, so it is fun to see it in context. I have not read the whole thing, but I can say that our chater has evolved far beyond what you see in this paper. That chapter was a springboard for the work we are doing (and have not yet completed!)

I love Etienne's introduction to the piece, riffing off the idea of a CoP as a romantic relationship.
