It would not be a website, it would be incorporated into the Case
Reporter project. Basically, the idea is to allow each firm to setup
the categorization and input the information they want. Another
possibility is to for associations (trial lawyers assoc, defense
lawyers assoc, etc.) to maintain a knowledge base, then dissiminate
to its members for uniformity. It isn't based as much on sharing the
information as it is in recording a firms own research so when
someone else from the firm does similar research they do not have to
reinvent the wheel and begin from scratch.
It has proven to work fairly well at the firm I work for, so I am
thinking of an open source possibility.
Ah, cool. Sourceforge garners a few starting points, eg.:
