Relative to your summary of 14 points to solve, here's 4 examples of use
cases, including 8 key parameters for "SamePage" document-centric
collaboration (threaded discussions inside task detail pages) that might
be of help to us all. "SamePage", is a tool that allows users, in
real-time, to break text files into objects and discuss content within
the content itself.
"WebFlow.com (now Accentuate.com) is on target for phase two of
corporate Intranets, where server-based applications accessed by
universal clients drive new frontiers in inter-department
collaboration," said Dr. Eric Schmidt, Chief Technology Officer and
Corporate Executive Officer at Sun Microsystems. "I am impressed by the
design decisions that WebFlow has made in SamePage and am enthusiastic
about the natural synergies between their work and ours to create ever
more powerful applications for the evolving extended enterprise."

Also, ..."One aspect of knowledge management is applying resident
expertise to a particular problem or decision. SamePage does not
identify, audit or archive knowledge, but the project leader can
designate an expert resource to be a mandatory participant in a document
discussion. In this way you are identifying a corporate knowledge asset
and defining a system to apply this knowledge asset to a specific
problem or challenge. [History]"

**************
More Info
The SamePage Suite provides a groundbreaking solution to the long
standing business problem of sharing information across heterogeneous
desktops and leveraging the knowledge of individuals. SamePage is the
only shrinkwrapped and also adaptive application that enables teams
using different desktop environments to work together in a shared
workspace, without investing in a proprietary infrastructure.
SamePage Suite was designed to help individuals get more done--faster,
easier and smarter--by breaking the endless cycle of meetings, e-mail,
voice-mail and more meetings. With SamePage, teams focus on results
(rather than process) in a shared workspace where they assign and track
action items, resolve issues, and iterate work materials, in response to
on-line feedback. Project history is automatically captured allowing
people to pick up where they left off and learn from their experience.
SamePage Architecture
The SamePage Suite consists of two application modules built around a
core object architecture. There is SamePage, the live shared work space,
and Take Action!, the integrated action item management system. Both
application modules are tightly integrated with a flexible email
notification system which provides a timely alert to SamePage users when
changes have been made to a document, if they need to review a document,
or if the status of an action item has been updated. This server-based
software application is delivered across the corporate Intranet to any
client desktop through a standard Web browser.
How it Works
Unlike other proprietary LAN-based products in which material is checked
in and out, users check-in to the SamePage workspace and work with live
information. Instead of circulating messages about static "attached"
documents or trying to piece together multiple email responses, SamePage
allows multiple users to insert and view comments, discussions and
action items in-context, directly inside applicable documents. Since
everyone is on the "same page" they are always working with the most
up-to-date information to optimize productivity. This unique in-context
approach allows team members to ramp up quickly on projects and captures
the critical organizational history that is typically lost in unwieldy
email messages or when team members are pulled onto other projects.
"Now that corporations have invested in building powerful Intranet
information infrastructures, they are aggressively seeking "out of the
box" applications that can be easily deployed and supported," said
Stephen Tolchin, president of Accentuate. "Our products are not about
formalizing processes - but about providing a framework allowing users
to complete their day-to-day work activities in fewer, more productive
face-to-face meetings.
An action items
1. What processes currently are used to solve world problems
Andromedia tracks reports of bugs in its software on the internal Web.
An HTML-based bug-entry system includes fields for the characteristics
of the problem, and allows for submission to the Bug Database. Employees
who maintain code are then notified, and a nagging feature in the
WebFlow system ensures they are reminded until a fix is created.
Lockheed Martin, Sun Microsystems, and Charles Schwab also use the
WebFlow system on their corporate Webs. The Web-based workflow system
allows tasks to be assigned to individuals, groups, or to oneself.
Assignees can accept a task, reject it, or forward it to someone else,
under controls.
