<http://www.cpsquare.com/> CPsquare will shortly host an online mini-conference that will examine how a few categories of new, "Web 2.0" tools are affecting the dynamics of communities of practice. I'll be helping out a little as a guest thinker. The mini-conference runs January 3-31 online, punctuated by conference-call discussions.
