==== why? ====

one of the longest running projects in computing/software engineering is to find usefull tools to facilitate people working together over networks.

see [[Doug Engelbart]] and the [[Bootstrap Institute]] for some context

see [[Xanalogical Media]] for some of the problems/challenges

==== online collaboration tools ====
**realtime** based systems, for discussions + interaction in the same online 'place'

  * babalon chat + drawing server -> http://www.visopsys.org/andy/babylon/applet-demo/index.html
  * fog chat, telnet based chat etc. for low bandwith connections.
  * ideally, a chat serer should scale well.
  * vidio conferenceing
  * telephone 
  * tools for collaborative 'sensemaking' http://www.compendiuminstitute.org/about.htm

this should probably be padded out with a discussion on the pros + cons of all these methods (and more). see the tgarden notes + feedback

**dialog mapping**

a technique developed by http://www.cognexus.org/ to help manage problem solving and design meetings, and other sources of '[[wicked problems]]'. involves the use of Issue Based Information Systems (IBIS).

Toolkit for Conceptual Modeling (TCM) is a collection of software tools to present conceptual models of software systems in the form of diagrams, trees and tables. A conceptual model of a system is a structure used to represent the behavior or decomposition of the system. TCM is meant to be used for requirements engineering, i.e. the activity of specifying and maintaining requirements for desired systems, in which a number of techniques and heuristics for problem analysis, function refinement, behavior specification, and decomposition specification are used. http://www.cs.utwente.nl/~tcm
