It is mainly an overview of Groupware from a PC point of view, but still interesting. What I find particularly curious is the methods that different experts use to divide up groupware. Dyson's method is to say that some groupware applications are Content Intensive (primary goal is to improve the contents of a work), or Workflow Intensive (primary goal is to compress the time it takes to create a work). She notes that very few products try to do both. Chris Allen - AFL MacDev
