My master’s thesis project was a web collaboration tool that I felt people needed to explore ideas, resolve issues, track progress, and be more productive.
Availability, scalability and highly asynchronous communication were a priority, enabling efficiency and full interactivity.
I have actually seem a live demo of the project, and it’s really impressive. It is not available in HD; so it might be hard to understand most of it, but1 it’s a project manager, that also let’s you collaborate on real-time. The technologies used are also something interesting. Jabber, SVN and long-lived http connections.
