We need them to: Find out what modles and tools the partitipants are willing to provide. Find out what are the most wanted category groups and services. Find out what’s missing???  Snapshot of the Associates Matrix:

22. JRA3: Community JRA3: CommunityAssociates ● JRA3 Associates Matrix:  The process of finding new Associates motivating them to paticipate and accumulate their feedback will be an ongoing task.  At some point in the future we should conduct a user requirment study to define the most needed services and model categories. So all the associates and participants will have invluence on the focus of this catalogue. This is importent in the view of commisioned work at sub contract basis for missing, when realy needed, supplementation.
