Abstract

This paper proposes requirements necessary for designing future collaborative writing tools to support distributed work teams on the Internet.

Requirements are proposed from literature, and then compared to previous and existing CW tools such as Microsoft Word(TM). Because no tool adequately addresses the needs of distributed CW teams, a new CW tool called Collaboratus is proposed and reviewed.

Keywords: Collaborative writing, group work, Collaboratus, distributed work, design
