Abstract
Co Webs, short for collaborative webs, are web-based collaborative tools that have been in continuous use at Georgia Tech and many other places for several years. Originally Co Webs were relatively simple but flexible web servers that allowed everybody to easily modify content. Their openness, and the fact that every user has essentially the same rights and abilities in the space, distinguishes Co Webs from many other collaborative systems.
