What kind of Collaboration Ware path would I like to see GooGle or YaHoo follow?

Start with WebMail.

• offer custom-DoMain hosting

  • have master domain Address Book automatically shared/updated across everyone

    • but allow a custom comment field for each user to add to entry

• Use tagging categorization model like GMail (instead of folders).

• Encourage tags to be written as Wiki Word-s.

  • have type-ahead lookup against list of pages in space

• Then auto-link Wiki Word-s in messages to query for that tag. (Wiki Word As Tag)

• And Back Links for a Wiki Page include search of GMail (maybe inline in right column)

Then move into Address Book - AppWiki

• Auto-generate Wiki Word name of each Address Book entry ("John Smith" has JohnSmith)

  • might not have uniqueness

  • every person in To/Cc/Bcc of incoming/outgoing EMail messages should have auto-Wiki Word-tag generated

• Allow Wiki Word tags to also be manually associated with every Address Book entry.

• Recognize/link Wiki Word tags within (some?) Address Book fields.

• searches on Wiki Word tag return both WebMail threads and Address Book results (and let you filter/limit to any subset of spaces; and let you sort by Relevance (?) or last-mod-date or create-date)

• other Address Book additions

  • provide FOAF/XFN/Micro Format interface, with entries treated as Friends

    • global on/off for user; default?

    • option to keep some records "private" (maybe public/domain/private)

    • use hash of EMail address

  • since other people don't have FOAF/XFN views yet to even assemble all their own online identities (FlickR acct, Del Icio Us acct, etc.), make fields for each of those. (Like Thirty Boxes.)

  • offer at least 1 shared Address Book for DoMain - start of SFA system

Then do Calen Dar similar way

• (probably no unique name for event, though maybe make record-id visible so could in theory use Inter Wiki naming convention to point to a specific event)

• Allow Wiki Word tags to also be manually associated with every Calen Dar entry.

• Recognize/link Wiki Word tags within (some?) Calen Dar fields.

• other Calen Dar additions

  • provide Group Calendaring features for DoMain (and with others - see next item)

  • provide Free Busy/Micro Format API interface

    • add Free Busy URI field to Address Book (automatically fill when possible)

Offer Team Wiki - at least 1 space per DoMain

• now you have Email Discussion Beside Wiki

Offer Issue Tracker Wiki - at least 1 space per DoMain

Offer Sfa Via Issue Tracker Wiki

Office Suite (Google Apps)? Lite, with a focus on Version Control?

• attach Wiki Word/MetaTag-s to each file
