Abstract :
There has been much recent interest in using the World Wide Web to facilitate distributed cooperative work. Unfortunately, most existing Internet tools do not provide adequate cooperative work support to make this possible. This short paper describes how a simple Web browser was extended to support a range of CSCW facilities, including telepointers, group awareness widgets, text chats, collaborative notes, messages and URL annotations, and collaborative editors.
