Srinath,

I would be anxious to hear of any references for this topic you have
referred to as Informal Resource Networks. I am preparing a project which
runs along these lines and would interested in any information anyone on
the group has regarding this sort of IRN in cyberspace.

I ran across this reference for virtual teams and collaboration with some
research from Dr. David Gould ( http://www.seanet.com/~daveg/ ) that was
recently completed. Thanks for your help.
