This page is intended to be as comprehensive an index as possible
for Groupware resources.
CSCW or "Computer-Supported Cooperative Work" is the study of how people work
together using computer technology. Typical applications include email, awareness
and notification systems, videoconferencing, chat systems, multi-player games,
and realtime shared applications (such as collaborative writing or drawing).
