Leopard could bring Collaboration tools to iWork, iCal and others.
Quote:
There is also Linkback which sounds like it could be integrated should Apple bless their product. When you look at what Microoft has done with Office 2007 and Groove integration I see a market for a scaled back but still powerful tool. I'd also welcome finally getting a full featured iWork. omgwtfbbq |

It's a nice idea, but the source (macosxrumors.com) is not one of great reliability. I don't think it's ever had an original rumor scoop turn out to be true.

I've heard rumblings about collaboration on other fronts... maybe there is just confusion over what the collaboration will *involve*.

Funny that they publish this rumor a day after I opined that a third-party framework (think Growl, Sparkle, etc.) for collaborative editing would be nifty. SubEthaEdit's implementation is nice, but limiting, and not open for third party developers (not even commercially; they don't let you license the API).

When I saw this thread title I thought it read "calibration" but the title was misspelled.
How would Apple work in this type of tech into non-professional and non-educational environments? |

IMHO it would be awesome for Apple to release 10.5 the DAY vista comes out. I don't know how many of you follow the PC world but, unfortunately for me, I work in a local pc shop. Every month we get the latest issues of Maximum PC and various other magazines and over the past maybe 6-8 months the articles and such that have to do with Apple have been skyrocketing!
My point is this: Leopard and Vista both are released on, say, January 6th. Maximum PC gets a copy of both on January 7th (or whatever). Their February review includes a side by side comparison, clearly showing that OSX flattens Vista. This can only be a good thing. It would definitely make Apple look confident (and rightly so) in their new OS. |

How do these collaborative files look? (in current solutions) Are there insignia's on the window bar or special extensions? Are there smart collaborative folders? I'd love to see a button on the window bar that shows permissions or collaboration status.

Collaborative files? They're just regular files, but the applications have collaborative features which allow you to connect to other users (or others to you) to share an open document and work on it at the same time.
Go look at SubEthaEdit for an example of how they can work. Without the collaborative features, it's just an ordinary text editor. The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts.

'Collaborative files' = file sharing. Nothing new there.
Adding collaboration to all apps is as easy as it was to add .DOC import/export to all text-aware apps... it gets added to the Cocoa framework by Apple, and all apps pick it up automatically. |

The collaboration is tied to the same technology used for iPhoto Photocast but integrated into Mac OS X for developers to easily use.

Collaboration is file sharing, but allowing two or more users edit the same file at the same time, seeing each other's changes in realtime.

This almost sounds like Apple will be adding virtual whiteboarding to iChat AV. Now that their entire portable line of computers has iSights built in (as well as iMacs) this would be a great way to communicate with people in the office when working at home or at a hotel or while chairing an event or ...
Oh wait, according to the latest Apple ad, Apple computers aren't for work, just for home. My bad, forget I posted. |

On collaborative files in the OS.. It would be neat to have the OS show which files are being workd on, and who is working on them at the moment. A small badge and a user-list in the contextual menu would suffice.
This would be a feature maybe for Mac OS X Server? I for one is pretty tired of screaming across the office trying to figure out who has the corporate presentation open (and locking it) when I'm trying to edit it. I'm really seeing forward to some collaborative APIs to OSX, but if they only reach as far as a whiteboard in iChat, I'd be a bit disappointed. An open (and documented) API mimicing SubEthaEdit's capabilities would be a nice start but Apple really has the power to take it further than SEE ever can. Collaborative editing in Final Cut Pro..? My god.. there's no end to the possibilities! |

^ If it's a whiteboard, it'll probably be in Leopard Client and Server.
