shared practice – if necessary, break up to specific tasks/problems).
Specifics of the community in terms of type and life cycle.
- Method of
knowledge engineering. Describe interviews, surveys, your selection,
judgment on sources of expertise (how you found them, how recruited them,
how why, you trust them).

Anticipate major barriers and risks.
- Technology
– what set of tools will you use and WHY? (the rationale is all
important). There are two parts: innovative design and limited
implementation. For Design use sketches and texts to visualize what the
user will see but also to explain the design rationale. For
implementation, use pbworks (or anything else) to demonstrate a ‘quick and
dirty’ implementation of a small and simple subset of your design.
- Evaluation
– impact, measures, costs. Refer back to the practice/tasks/problems.
- Possible
