The JEM portal has been designed and setup as a collaborative website publishing contributions from every registered member and distributing the deliverables, and publications of the network. There are currently approximately 100 registered users. We have not yet started to actively publicize the portal. All registered users can post event announcements, news, release software or lecturing materials and share their academic blogs.

The network has organized several events and distributes the records of the presentations as slide shows or as video recordings through the portal's pages. Currently there are approximately 70 publications archived as dissemination on the portal and those which were part of the Fist and Second JEM Meetings are collected in a public deliverable (Rikko Verrijzer, 2007).

The JEM portal pages aim to distribute synoptic information concerning technologies, their usage and scenarios relevant for eLearning mathematics. This information can be entered freely by users by adding new pages to the Wiki or by using specific templates for Software, tools and services2 and for Case Study3. Software and Case Study are linked to the proper pages in the Wiki by the editors. The JEM web pages have been hit approximately 250K times with an increasing trend as the network becomes more active and organizes more events.

Concerning standardization activities, several JEM members are active within the W3C-Math working group and the OpenMath Society. As a result of this synergy, a common resolution has been adopted by these bodies aimed at ironing out differences and incompatibilities between MathML and OpenMath in their upcoming versions MathML3 and OpenMath3. An encouraging sign showing the growing popularity of semantic markup is the adoption of OpenMath as exchange language among dynamic geometry systems, which is the topic and goal of the newly funded eContentplus project Inter2Geo in which two JEM nodes are involved. Another new OpenMath-based protocol for grid computing, called SCSCP, has been developed by the SCIEnce project and presented during the Second JEM Meeting.

The Network started with 16 founding members and has acquired 4 new members during the first 12 months thus establishing itself in Finland, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and UK. In addition, the European Mathematical Society has joined the network and its president Ari Laptev has agreed to lead the Committee on eLearning Quality. The Standardization Committee is lead by Michael Kohlhase, the newly appointed president of the OpenMath Society.
