tacit knowledge, i.e., know-how, know-why, and know-who, is hard to formalize
and communicate. one of the challenges of development is how to access
and share it.

communities of practice are groups of people who share a passion
for something they know how to do and who interact regularly to learn how
to do it better. By engaging in rich conversations in informal and welcoming
social environments, they break down communication barriers to populate
and reference their knowledge network workspace. By asking, learning,
and sharing, they help manage tacit knowledge.
