CSCW Infrastructure Research at TRC

I believe that if I could convince my employer to put some effort in this direction the results could be quite fruitful. I also believe that it is possible that doing so could give a significant boost to the concept of groupware in the general corporate landscape. This would occur due to currently uneducated designers being able to 'pull a rabbit out of their hat' that could be quickly implemented. This aspect of the ease of implementation of template based applications will allow a highly iterative design and development process to take place. Since, while more complex to develop, there are significant benefits to collaborative applications, I believe that the user community would be quite interested in them.
