Abstract
Embodiments relate generally to an on-line collaboration system. The system comprises at least one server in communication with multiple client devices over one or more networks, the at least one server executing program code to host an on-line collaborative environment in which users of the client devices can collaborate. The at least one server executes program code to facilitate discussion threads in the on-line collaborative environment and, for each discussion thread, to provide a selectable option to allow proposal of an outcome for the discussion thread.
Claims54
An on-line collaboration system, comprising:
- at least one server in communication with multiple client devices over one or more networks, the at least one server executing program code to host an on-line collaborative environment in which users of the client devices can collaborate;
- wherein the at least one server executes program code to facilitate discussion threads in the on-line collaborative environment and, for each discussion thread, to provide a selectable option to allow proposal of an outcome for the discussion thread.
In an on-line collaborative environment, a method comprising:
- hosting at least one discussion thread;
- and
- providing a selectable option to allow proposal of an outcome for the at least one discussion thread.
A server-hosted on-line collaborative environment that allows proposed discussion outcomes to be received and posted in response to receipt of an outcome proposal selection.
A method for on-line collaboration, comprising:
- allowing selection of an option to propose an outcome in relation to a discussion thread.
A method of on-line collaboration, comprising:
- allowing a discussion thread to be initiated by a member of a group of users;
- allowing proposal of an outcome of the discussion;
- and
- sending a prompt to at least one member of the group to propose an outcome of the discussion if an outcome has not been proposed within a set time.
A method of on-line collaboration, comprising:
- allowing proposal of an outcome of a discussion thread, the discussion thread being accessible to a defined group of users;
- receiving a voting selection made by each member of the defined group of users in relation to a proposed outcome.
The method of claim 51, wherein the requesting feedback comprises requesting an indication of whether the outcome was a good outcome or a bad outcome.
