I am interested in collecting information on the use of computers to
mediate interactions between people. It appears to me that our
computer systems today do not provide much in the way of support for
cooperation - joint problem-solving, sharing of information,
co-operative production of text, on-line (human) expert assistance.
If people know of experiments carried out in this domain, or of
experimental software facilities to support such activities, I would
appreciate if they could mail me information - references, personal
experiences, anecdotes, etc.
[As an example, how useful have people found the "link" command on the
TENEX system?]
(PS. I know about computer conferencing, my focus is more on other,
perhaps less-publicized facilities, but comments on the USE of
conferencing systems would be of interest.)
I will summarize the results of the survey to the net. Thank you.
