This Class 99 team member would love to know more about Shareipwiki, since he hasn't heard about it before and an internet search conducted on a well-known search tool beginning with 'G' netted just 19 'hits', most of which were unintelligible to him. The best he could do was this:
"A password protected wiki, or shared working space, called Share IP Wiki, lists all the software used in the major business process systems of EC national IP offices.19 As each national office adds information to this site, there will be a complete inventory of national trademark and design office software for Europe. By early 2010, however, the inventory was far from complete. Yet the sharing of code, while highly technical, may accelerate development and use of shared standards, templates, and tools faster than any political or management process. The working group keeps it presentations, discussions, videos, newsletters, and other documentation on this shared site. The level of transparency offers an incentive for innovation and for diffusion of innovations throughout the European Trademark and design system. Each
national office can see exactly what other national offices are doing with respect to technical standards and code".

Do any readers have more to offer?
