In view of the informative and timely discussion in this thread, Sparx Systems would like you to be aware that we are working on a resource portal, the purpose of which is to enable the Enterprise Architect user community to share models, profiles, patterns, scripts, best practice papers and other resources.

The resource portal, in concept, is a formal and managed repository of information both from Sparx Systems and from Enterprise Architect users and customers. External information will be submitted to and vetted by Sparx Systems, so it is not intended to be a generic file sharing mechanism per se. This also means that we avoid Spam.

We do not have a release date available for this portal as yet, but we will keep the user community informed.

I'll certainly pass the positive reaction to the news on to the group who are developing the portal.

As for myself, I just delivered the news. People often ask "please don't shoot the messenger", so it's probably fair that I ask "please don't praise the messenger either"!

How about a wiki?
I'd be happy to set one up?

Yes, (currently) Registered users can get onto the portal and check it out. Please have a look, perhaps register as an author, and start digging out all those incredibly useful reports and notes on "how to ... using EA" (or "how not to ... using EA", even!)

The portal will soon be more widely accessible, and will offer further facilities for contributing and commenting on content.

"And now, Arthur?"

"And now, Esther, ..."

As we state in the Sparx Announcements section:

"The Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect Community Site Beta is now also available to non-registered Enterprise Architect users. If you have not yet visited the site, we encourage you to sign-up for free and benefit from what has already been contributed by the community!

You can access the Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect Community Site from:
http://community.sparxsystems.com"

So, you do not now have to log in as a registered user, nor do you have to log in to access the top level of the Community Site. You will have to register as a member to use some of the facilities, and as an author to submit material to be put up on the site. It's still in Beta, so any comments and observations (via the site's feedback email link) are very welcome.
