Collaboration Tools and Methods

ESIP provides a platform for virtual collaboration with several tools for clusters and groups to use for collaboration: (1) this wiki; (2) Teleconference numbers for the U.S. and (3) GoToMeeting for web meetings. Beyond these tools, the group has also developed methods for implementing these tools and they are collected and shared in this workspace.
