W e'd like to think that one of the most compelling reasons to support the IMS Project is who we are. International training and education consortia have endorsed our approach and we are partnered with the United States Departments of Labor and Defense. Each and every day our project gains momentum, support, and acceptance. The IMS specifications will be released in iterative stages, the release of version 1.0 will be October 1998. Join the project.
Participation can be informal or via professional association.
And we will be happy to help. In addition to our on-line material, we host workshops for our investment members, testbed participants, and developers' network. Online learning materials and 'curricula' for becoming an IMS expert will be developed and available along with the specifications. We also have public and partner forums where you can post questions, share experiences, and help others. Though a technical background would be helpful for a participant, it is not necessary.
