| <P>Groupware solutions consist of a complex mix of protocols and |
| needs. The OpenOffice.org Groupware project (OOoGW) seeks to enhance |
| and simplify the user's experience by offering rich groupware |
| products, and by working closely with other groupware projects to |
| establish standards and interoperability between these various |
| projects and protocols. The OOoGW project seeks to provide an |
| environment that works from within the OpenOffice.org office suite, |
| and yet is complete enough to stand on it own. We will embrace |
| existing open source projects and will work closely with other groups |
| to provide the most complete, diverse and standards based groupware |
| solution available. |
