CollabCollabCollab

Prowling around various collaboration tools this morning....

• Haystack
  
• OSA Foundation
  
• Spaces
  

And more... It seems like the activity in this area is taking off coincident with the slowing (to my mind, or perhaps direct interest?) in the real-time communication space. The standards there taking so long to settle out, but the more webby standards most of these tools are using (RDF, RSS, yadda) seem to be dynamically organizing themselves into useful toolsets.

Of the tools, the only one with readily available code is Spaces (and an active mailing list, too). Last run I had was .2 alphas ago. Haystack looks like a pretty fluid tool, if the code comes out beyond screenshots.

Things to watch, quietly, as I continue poking at the realtime space.
