At the Dutch e-collaboration blog, Maaike van Steenhoven has posted the conclusions of her interviews with about 15 development organizations about the introduction of new tools for e-collaboration: http://icollaborate.blogspot.com/2006/11/findings.html

She describes the overall phase Dutch NGOs are in, concerning the implementation of e-collaboration in their work and how they became enthusiastic.  Then she describes the implementation stage of the various new tools that were introduced (ranging from moodle to social bookmarking). How did people start looking for the right tool, how did they approach and convince others and how are they planning for the future? She also presents an overview of the benefits e-collaboration brought to the people who are experimenting with it and the difficulties they encountered in the broadest way.
