What is GROUP.lounge?

GROUP.lounge is a tool for collaborations over the world wide web.

It enables a group of people to effectively work over the internet on documents. It enables you to share documents, notes, etc. with people all over the world.

It was developed primary for reducing the piles of paper on my desk and to organise information more easily.

Features of GROUP.lounge

• enables a group of people on the internet to work together
• stores notes (normal text) and documents (any data) organized in folders.
• keeps history on who changed when some object.
• gives users the ability to invite other people to share a folder.
• Is easily customizable in layout/design through html templates
• WebDAV support to work with it e.g. via WebFolders
• object oriented design for easy implementation of new object types

The future

The state right now is just the start. Over the time I want to add the following features:

• new object types like URL and WWW search queries
• the concept of project folders which can collect information from their sub folders (todo list items, etc.) and are able to create configurable overviews of a project.
• a collection of external class which communicate via CORBA with GROUP.lounge and fit into the concept of project folders. Examples of such modules are an address book or a calendar.
