Who developed Poultry Hub and why?
The Australian Poultry Cooperative Research Centre (Poultry CRC) developed Poultry Hub to encourage communication and collaboration amongst people involved in some way with poultry. Establishing Poultry Hub as a wiki encourages the poultry community to explore the potential of the Web as an effective networking tool and its capacity for facilitating knowledge management.
