[Sigia-l] Grokker

[Christy Confetti-Higgins]

Hi Marcel and Andrew-

It is really good :)

Sun Microsystems launched Grokker internally enterprise wide - see the 
press release from yesterday:

If anyone has any questions, I'd be happy to talk to you - I was the 
project manager at Sun for this effort within SunLibrary.
