Abstract :
The idea behind collective work is that we´re all attempting to perform individual tasks, and the ways in which we accomplish our objectives interact. Sometimes this is because we´re all part of a larger project, and sometimes it´s just because what we do can affect other people´s plans if they know about what we´ve done. Sometimes, what we´re attempting to do generates conflict with other people´s objectives, and other times it generates opportunities. It would be great if we knew of these conflicts and opportunities - and if the Internet could tell us.
