Actually, that scene from David's Sling reminded me of descriptions
the CoLAB project at Xerox PARC. I had assumed that what's being
called GroupWare was something similar to that: simultaneous, shared
access to a hypertext structure with a WYSIWES (What You See Is What
Everyone Sees) component.

I've since been told that what's currently being sold as "groupware"
more resembles RCS or SCCS on Unix.

Could someone (several someones, probably) post descriptions of some
of the currently available "groupware"?
