Thanks to Dan Gillmor for pointing out this article on electronic collaboration, which I would have surely missed. The essay is a manifesto about software for collaboration. I agree with the premise that software must be more people centric, in which he complains that current software is nowhere near acheiving its full potential. Eugene Eric Kim, the author, also provides a short bibliography at the end of the essay with links to Doug Englebart's writings on collaboration and augmentation. I always like going back to Englebart's work!
- Eugene Eric Kim: A Manifesto for Collaborative Tools. This essay is a manifesto about software for collaboration -- why the world's future depends on it, why the current crop of tools isn't good enough, and what programmers can and must do about it.
