Vision

The next generation of the collaboration platform will do far more than wikis or chat. ISDA wants to use the Clearspace product from Jive software as the base platform for customized collaboration products. The first product to use this platform as its base is Teamspaces, sponsored by the CCS team, for use in a Courseware context. IPS will use this project as a launchpad to understand the Clearspace application not just for this particular implementation, but for use in future products as part of the MAP set of application-platform components.

The IPS mission on the Teamspaces project is to take the baseline Clearspace product and determine that it integrates into the MIT environment with an acceptable level of simplicity. I needs to run in hosting environments that MIT provides to departments, it needs to integrate with user and group data, and work with all our existing authorization and authentication mechanisms. It must be an application that IPS has the skills to assist other developers in implementing.  

Backlog
