HTML is excellent for presentation of information but it does not offer any support for synchronous collaboration
|
Current Web-based collaboration systems are not well integrated with Web content.
-
Usually they imitate plain, standalone applications. They launch separate windows and tools.
-
They implement rigid collaboration policies and are not easily customizable

Another approach is needed: the objects that offer collaboration functionality must be treated as any other content in the Web page. This approach will enable creation of pure Web-based collaboration - Shared Places on the Web -- where one can share any part of a web page
