Is there information about adoption of CWE by SMB? Simonzxcv 00:00, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

deprodded[edit]

When I deprodded this I now realise that I didn't address the prod concern which was that this is a non-notable neologism. I think the external links and refs in the article indicate that the term is sufficiently widely used to merit inclusion here. --Michig 07:36, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A confusing array of buzzword articles needs structure[edit]

I'm seeing a lot of "collaboration" and "cooperation" buzzwords appearing as articles. Those articles often refer to each other. Examples:

Collaborative work systems redirects to Collaborative working system

Collaborative working system refers to:

Collaborative working environment refers to:
- Collaborative workspace
- E-professional

Computer-supported collaboration refers to:

Computer supported cooperative work refers to:

If merges are being planned, they should be done with a view to organize these into some sort of hierarchy, with a single article at the top giving an overview. — Wdfarmer (talk) 00:18, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

collaborative work systems vs collaborative working systems[edit]

The content of the article originally tittled "Collaborative work systems" is based on the notion of a Collaborative Work System which is described in the literature as such. I have no objection to changing the name to "Collaborative working system" if that is within the Google scholar literature review however I did made two searches one for each proposed designation and indeed I notice the term "collaborative work" is much more consistent accross the literature so I propose to stick to the original name "collaborative work systems". As for the proposed merge with "Collaborative Working Environments" that is precisely the reason I have wrote this article in the first place: both notions are different. A "collaborative working environment" is a concept that emereges from a different research point of view, centered in the individual work of professionals that become e-professionals because they perform their work (e-work) within a networked environment, using not only collaborative software, but also videoconferencing systems which are not necessarily software-based. The concept of a collaborative work system on the other hand, is related to the organizational context of the work that occurs whenever two or more individuals collaborate for a given purpose. So the focus is not on the type of computer support to that work, but instead to the non-computer variables that affect that quality of work. It is important that one reads Beyond Teams, to see the difference on perspectives. Also, one needs to admit that a whole series of books dedicated to "Collaborative Work Systems" is sufficiently worth of having such a concept explained in wikipedia, independent of other related notions.

Re: "one needs to admit": The publication of a series of books referring to "Collaborative Work Systems" is, by itself, not a justification for a Wikipedia article on that topic. See WP:N for notability standards in general, then WP:BK for non-fiction books, and WP:ACADEMICS for their authors. — Wdfarmer (talk) 04:11, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Useful references, I will read them carefully in order to reply back. Thanks. Nunesdea (talk) 19:53, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

comments to a confusing array of terms[edit]

I admit that CSCW Computer Supported Cooperative Work and CSC Computer Supported Collaboration can be seen as overlapping concepts. CSCW is actually the name of an extensive scientific field that merges contribution from computer scientists as well as social scientists, normally researching toghether with great cross-fertilization results. I do not see how CSC can generate a different type of concept so I would encourage wikipedia administrators to propose to have these two articles CSCW and CSC to be merged.Nunesdea (talk) 22:30, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Based on your knowledge of the field and the terms commonly in use, which of the following headings would you propose for the merger? Or would you propose a new heading?

Computer-supported cooperative work currently redirects to Computer supported cooperative work. I'd normally favor doing the reverse to have the main article use the hyphenated form, since the properly grammatical form of "computer supported", when used as an adjective in this case, is "computer-supported"; see Hyphenation#Compound_modifiers, and a Google Scholar search shows that use of the hyphenated form is widespread. However, the unhyphenated form seems to have also become entrenched in professional usage; see The 2010 ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work (which, BTW, will present multiple papers on "Wikipedia as a collaboration culture").

— Wdfarmer (talk) 05:06, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My recommendation is to use CSCW as the main article instead of CSC. If the properly grammatical form of "computer supported" is "computer-supported" then the article should reflect that and be written as "Computer-supported cooperative work". Nunesdea (talk) 20:01, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree both articles can be combined[edit]

After spending sometime thinking and practicing, I do see advantage in combining bot articles. Any suggestions on how to proceed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nunesdea (talk • contribs) 22:00, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Issues with structure and organization[edit]

The "definition" at the beginning of the article isn't a definition at all; it describes somewhat what CWE does, but not what it is. The full definition is not provided until the "Overview" section, which is awkwardly placed after the more detailed section, "Description." I propose that the bulk of the content in the Overview section, which provides the definition of CWE, be moved into the introduction, and that the rest of the Overview content, which provides the term's derivation, be moved into the Background section. The header "Overview" itself should be deleted. MknzNn (talk) 17:02, 30 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

People ego while doing collaborative working[edit]

We need to focus on how ego is impacting collaborative working today

Collaborative workspaces modified[edit]

I think that "collaborative workspaces" has a different meaning from "Coworking". Therefore, I would like to suggest removing the link or revising "collaborative workspaces". Mocha c jp (talk) 13:02, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
