I'd like to start a discussion about collaborative workspaces. What works and what doesn't? Does anybody have any experience they'd like to share?

merge edit

Should be merged into Collaborative software; see talk there. Quarl (talk) 2006-01-13 22:27Z

Should it be the other way around? .e. merge Collaborative software into Collaborative workspace. This would ensure that 'collaboration' elements (including the need for a shared mental model, ba, shared language) are the prime focus rather than the software.

Actually (and it's possible I'm the strange exception) I've been looking for a term for my doctoral research that encapsulates a simple collaborative system, rather than a very large/complex one. So far, "collaborative workspace" is easily the best, and I see it quite differently from collaborative software, *unless* collaborative software is adjusted to reflect simple systems, not just large, complex ones.

collaborative workspace, software edit

for collaboration we use one/some/all of:

  • a meeting room
  • a wiki
  • chat

while the latter is clear "software", i'm not sure if it is a "workspace". i would consider my office where i use the chat the workspace, or maybe my computer or a window on it. this would lead to "a collaborative workspace may need (collaborative) software". --ThurnerRupert 05:34, 26 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

"Collaborative workspace" and "Coworking" have different meanings. edit

Coworking is an arrangement in which workers for different companies share an office space.

Collaborative workspace means the place of collaboration. https://web.archive.org/web/20120225053054/http://www.ami-communities.eu/pub/bscw.cgi/d163187/The%20Future%20Workspace.pdf

So why not redirect Collaborative workspace to Coworking? Mocha c jp (talk) 13:31, 23 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

How about redirecting here? Workspace#Computer-supported_cooperative_work Mocha c jp (talk) 13:57, 23 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
