ConsultantCommons
SITE: ConsultantCommons
URL: http://www.consultantcommons.org/
DESCRIPTION: From the site: "ConsultantCommons provides an online collaboration space and community for non-profit technical assistance providers to collaboratively build and share knowledge. The goal of ConsultantCommons.org is to provide a resource for nonprofit technology assistance providers to share and develop consulting tools and resources. The system is designed so that consultants can find, contribute and collaborate on tools and information they use to maintain a consultancy and provide services to nonprofits."
Also from the site:
"The key features of this systems:
-The system is highly collaborative (a near wiki environment where consultants can directly edit content and content structure on the site toward building and refining tools)
-Open source, open content: Built with open source software, and applying a creative commons license to govern the content.
-Community owned: While Compumentor is powering the site and providing community management support, it is hosted at a non-profit and environmentally friendly ISP; and we intend to work toward establishing some sort of community governance structure in the near future."
