The National Cristina Foundation is in the Beta Testing stage of the development of the Cristina Network, an online community comprised of the many thousands of organizatations who work with the Foundation to promote technology reuse.  As part of this Beta Testing, select partners have been providing the Foundation with feedback and suggestions regarding the preferred features and tools to include within the community.
