I am new to the area of groupware/CSCW and would greatly appreciate
any responses to the following questions:

1) What research topics/areas do the terms "groupware" and "CSCW" encompass?

2) What is the history of "groupware" and "CSCW" research?   When
   did these research areas come into existence, and how has the focus
   of research changed/evolved since their inception?

3) What and where are the major groupware/CSCW research efforts currently
   taking place?  Who and where are the most widely known researchers in 
   the field?

4) What papers/books/other literature are considered significant in the field?

Thanks,
Susanne Hupfer
