As promised, the Utah GIS Portal now offers a online discussion forum for registered users. The intention of this forum is to discuss Utah-specific GIS topics and to further the ability of the Utah GIS user community to act as a resource to one another.
The forum and its functionality are accessible from the GIS Forum button on the portal's main menu or by going to http://gis.utah.gov/gis-forum.
The GIS Portal Search functionality now returns results from the Forum posts too. (06/04/08).
Currently there are several forums pertaining to programming (ArcObjects, ArcGIS Server, & Python) and data models/standards. Any registered user may post new topic threads to existing forums and reply to existing threads after logging in to the portal. These forum areas are just starters to get the forum going. If you would like to see a new forum area started, please email

with a title and short description.
The more folks use this, the better a resource it will become. Please take a moment to explore the forum functionality and consider how you can utilize it for the GIS work that you do.
