EDITalk.com is one of my side projects, and I’d figure I’d post about it here on my blog.

The EDI Talk Blog and Forums have gone through some major changes in the last week.  We have invested in an amazing community software which includes forums / discussions, social groups, buddy lists, private messaging, user profiles, reputation system, and many other features.

I hope to see all of you join the community.  For those that would like to help, we are looking for qualified moderators to help make the site a better place for everyone.  We also have updated our blogging platform, and will be working to integrate it further with our discussion groups this week.  If you have an idea for a blog article or wish to write one yourself please let us know in the Article Idea’s category here: http://EDITalk.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=23

We are hoping to grow this community to make it an amazing free resource for everyone in the EDI world. If you have any suggestions, would like to get involved, or have any questions at all please let us know in the feedback forum here: http://EDITalk.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=24

In roughly one week we are planning on launching the EDI Wiki, which will be a community driven wiki that will cover all aspects of EDI and EDI related documents.

For the GIS (Gentran Integration Suite) users we have added a dedicated subsection just for you: http://editalk.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=39

And of course checkout the latest blog posts on the EDI blog: http://EDITalk.com

I am working on gathering some generic EDI and vendor compliance information from the web as well as what I have come across while working in the field. I hope to put together a public site with this information along with help from the community. I have created quite a few “templates” for day to day EDI operations as well as some other guides that will make its way onto the site. I already have the site up and running actually, however I just have not had the time to tweak it to my needs.

Dealing with EDI, vendor compliance, routing guides and vendor guides can be quite a task, especially with the larger customers such as the larger chains and department stores. As you know everyone has their own specific requirements, rules and regulations. I am curious how everyone else manages their day to day operations so everything runs smoothly?

Ideally the site will cover some generic information, suggestions and tips. Perhaps I will add forum for communication and help.

If anyone is interested in contributing or have any suggestions at all, please let me know.
