Abstract
New tools whether developed organisationally, commercially or within a domain may represent innovation in the workplace and can be part of larger scale reform and change. This paper examines community-based web sites to be built about tools in two distinctly different workplaces. The tools PRODIGY, a computerised decision support system for clinical practice and StageStruck, a performing arts knowledge construction tool, are both recognised in their fields as being innovative in their use of technology and for their potential to improve the practice within the domain. This paper explores the rationale for developing a web-based communication and resource area to support a community of practitioners in their implementation of these technological innovations. It also investigates the demographics, design and development issues faced by community developers charged with promotion and support of these innovative products.
