 ===== IV. The Evergreen Online Community =====
-==== A. Existing Community Properties: Websites and More ====
 The Evergreen community as a whole operates as a virtual community with the exception of occasional face-to-face meetings at conferences, sector events, etc. A number of different online properties are maintained by various community members.

+**1. Main Website: [[http://evergreen-ils.org|evergreen-ils.org]] / [[http://open-ils.org|open-ils.org]]**
 The current community website serves as a home for the Evergreen software itself as well as many of the project's “official” resources. The site is a combination of static HTML and the DokuWiki collaborative documentation platform operated somewhat informally by a group of developers. Recently, members of the Web Planning Team and other community members have begun work on incremental improvements to the existing site, such as improving navigation.

 RSCEL, the Resource Sharing Cooperative of Evergreen Libraries, is a collaboration of various libraries and consortia using the Evergreen ILS. The RSCEL site offers resources for existing Evergreen users as well as information for potential users that are considering a migration to Evergreen for their library. While the primary evergreen-ils.org website is focused primarily on the Evergreen software and its development, RSCEL's online resources are aimed at users “before the software” (decision-makers) and “beyond the software” (user- and implementation-specific resources). The RSCEL website provides:
-a. Evergreen feature index and software comparison matrix b. Evergreen feature request/wishlist tracker (beta) c. KCLS Requirement Prioritization Application (beta) d. Evergreen organization/institution profile directory (beta) e. Ability to be notified of new Evergreen-related content f. Links to off-site demonstrations and development resources
