I should clarify--I wasn't looking for a Museum or Cultural Heritage site CoP, per se--I love archimuse and several of the others that have been mentioned here. I was asking specifically about use of Ning (or related services such as grou.ps) for various networking and CoP purposes. For those who have used Ning, and the like, what problems were you trying to solve, and did/does Ning solve that problem?
