MOO--The Second Decade?

C&W Online 2005, Lennie Irvin

A Description of the enCore Consortium and its Mission

At the CCCCs in San Antonio in March 2004, Dene Grigar and I met and discussed the need for some "coming together" of enCore users to bolster the development (and survival) of enCore. In September of 2004, a symposium was held announcing the formation of the enCore Consortium. In December of 2004, this Consortium formed itself as a unincorporated non-profit. The Consortium is an outgrowth from and support to the ongoing enCore Open Source MOO Project.

The Mission Statement:
The enCore Consortium seeks to coordinate and promote the open source development and distribution of the enCore Program.

The Consortium currently has 51 members (I encourage you to join up if you are interested-- http://encore-consortium.org).
