I have been intersecting with the Second Life Non Profits group for a few months now.  It looks like WESTAF will be a tenant in the office space once the sim has been completed.
This group has put together a Google Group which has been very helpful in keeping the group informed with one another.
A Drupal site has been started that will keep the group informed and also act as a public face for the participants.
WESTAF staff are starting to set up SL accounts.  So, how will it be used?  At first as an additional marketing opportunity.  Secondly, we are figuring out another emerging tool.  It remains to be seen whether we can build something practical and useful to the Arts non-profit/State Arts Agency field.  It may be that we just end up with something "cool".
In the mean time I am enjoying learning about the environment and the friendships that are being forged.  In the end, these new relationships may be the most important part of the experience.
If you're looking for me in-world, I'm Creech Antwerp.
