Community Projects pages. The VIVO Project has been fortunate to generate a wide variety of software development activity related to VIVO. The result is a catalog developed by the Apps and Tools Working Interest Group. The catalog has been expanded and reorganized as the Community Projects Apps and Tools Catalog pages and can now be found in the left hand menu of the VIVO wiki. The catalog lists dozens of software projects and systems that can be used with VIVO. Thanks to Graham Triggs and Ted Lawless for re-organizing the materials. Thanks to contributed software authors for their work and for their descriptions of their work.
