http://digitalmass.boston.com/news/globe_tech/at_large/2002/0617.html Today's edition of the Boston Globe has an article about collaborative tools. Featured in the article is a product called SiteScape which I had seemed demo'd just last week. Many of the features of the collaborative tool set are familiar to me in other settings: email, IRC (for "immediate" stuff), news (for discussions) and version control to track document modifications. One feature they mentioned that I have not encountered in the UNIX/Linux/Gnu world is a collaborative whiteboard that allows different users to share an electronic whiteboard. Has anyone seen anything like this in the open source community? Ideally, it would be web-based so that it would not be specific to any one client OS. Thanks, Bill

There's a java proram called bablyon that I found on freshmeat about a year ago. I haven't gone looking since then, but the choices were pretty slim at the time. Scott
Since sending out my original email on this, I took a moment to look on freshmeat (what a concept -- looking for something myself!) and found this: http://cvw.sourceforge.net/ This is a public domain product that seems quite mature (at least the screenshots are cool). The client side is written in Java, and there are versions for both UNIX and Windows. This might be worth the time to investigate. Bill
You might also try sifting through directory.google.com... for example: http://directory.google.com/Top/Reference/Knowledge_Management/Knowledge _Flow/Collaboration/Tools/ http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Software/Groupware/Open_Source / -----Original Message----- From: wlug-admin@mail.wlug.org [mailto:wlug-admin@mail.wlug.org] On Behalf Of Bill Mills-Curran Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 3:00 PM To: Worcester Linux Users Group Subject: Re: [Wlug] Boston Globe article Since sending out my original email on this, I took a moment to look on freshmeat (what a concept -- looking for something myself!) and found this: http://cvw.sourceforge.net/ This is a public domain product that seems quite mature (at least the screenshots are cool).
