C. van Noortwijk - CEIL 6 Documents in BSCW

C. van Noortwijk - CEIL 7 Drawbacks of BSCW Too many functions, confusing Glitches in management of user rights No indexes, just files in folders Too rich an environment for most of our needs

C. van Noortwijk - CEIL 8 Adding a standard web site Especially for ‘end users’ (consumers, who do not add material) In fact just an index Can be arranged / ordered as needed Documents stored only once, on BSCW server
