Collaborative software
Collaborative software, also known as groupware, is software that integrates work on a single project by several concurrent users at separated workstations. It was pioneered by Lotus Software with the popular Lotus Notes application. Collaborative software becomes more valuable when more people use it and thus Metcalfe's law applies. For example, calendaring becomes more useful when more people keep their calendars up-to-date.
Examples of collaborative software :
- web based solutions
- based on Wiki
- scoop
- slashcode (http://slashcode.com/) software that runs slashdot (http://slashdot.org)
- everything engine (http://everydevel.com/) backing the everything (http://www.everything2.com) site
- bricolage (http://bricolage.cc/) used by salon.com (http://www.salon.com/)
- distributed or desktop solutions
- CVS
- RCS
- Subversion
- Nuxeo Collaborative Portal Server (http://www.cps-project.org/): content management and collaborative platform based on Zope

Its mother's face with heaven.html">heaven-collected tears
Green cowbind and the moonlight-colour'd May,
Was the bright dew yet drain'd not by the day;
With its dark buds and leaves.html">leaves wandering astray;
Fairer than any waken'd eyes behold.
And nearer to the river.html">river's trembling edge
And starry river-buds among the sedge,
Which lit the oak that overhung the hedge
And bulrushes, and reeds of such deep green
I made a nosegay, bound in such a way
Were mingled or opposed, the like array
Within my hand;--and then, elate and gay,
That I might there present it--O! to whom?
Rapid clouds have drunk the last pale beam of even:
And profoundest midnight.html">midnight shroud the serene lights of heaven.
Tempt not with one last tear thy friend's ungentle mood:
Duty and dereliction guide thee back to solitude.
Away, away! to thy sad and silent home;
Watch the dim shades as like ghosts they go and come,
The leaves of wasted autumn woods shall float around thine head,
But thy soul or this world must fade in the frost that binds the dead,
meet.
The cloud shadows of midnight possess their own repose,
Some respite to its turbulence unresting ocean knows;
Thou in the grave shalt rest:--yet, till the phantoms flee,
Thy remembrance and repentance and deep musings are not free
Percy Bysshe Shelley. 1792-1822
618. Music, when Soft Voices die.html">die
MUSIC, when soft voices die,
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Are heap'd for the beloved's bed;
Love itself shall slumber on.
Unless it be to pain us?
Whan ye say the sea maun twain us?'
