Claims20
A system for managing a collaborative space, comprising:
- a provide engine to provide a collaborative space in which a number of users collaborate from respective client devices;
- a monitor engine to monitor content of the collaborative space to determine a context of collaboration in the collaborative space;
- and
- a change engine to change an operation of at least one functionality of the collaborative space based on the determined context of collaboration in the collaborative space.
A system for managing a collaborative space, comprising:
- a monitor engine to monitor content of the collaborative space to determine a context of collaboration in the collaborative space;
- a receive engine to receive context information for the collaborative space;
- and
- a change engine to change an operation of at least one functionality of the collaborative space based on the received context information.
A computer program product for managing a collaborative space, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium comprising computer usable program code embodied therewith, the computer usable program code comprising:
- computer usable program code to, when executed by a processor, identify, within the collaborative space, a recipient of a message;
- computer usable program code to, when executed by a processor, obtain recipient context information that, based on information about the recipient, defines a context for communication with that specific recipient;
- and
- computer usable program code to, when executed by a processor, change an operation of at least one functionality of the collaborative space based on the obtained recipient context information.
