9. Again, what is this about?
• So, it is about…
– Collaboratively managing writing tasks
• With a decentralized and light project management
approach
• But it is also about…
– Cooperatively identifying and tracking scientific
publication opportunities
– Contributing to an open research environment
• Promoting awareness of shared goals
• Supporting team work

19. Open questions…
• What functionalities do we need?
– Possibility to exchange with task, related to
specific project
• E.g. to assign a task for examining of some articles
to co-author
– Technically
• Send iCal from one timeliner to another.

20. Open questions…
• What external data we need?
– CfP data. Should be gathered from very
different sources (CfP wiki, RSS, other sources).
– Any CfP specification necessary? XML-CfP?
– Key dates of each project (deadlines,
milestones)
– Different types of Milestones (for Survey, for
Writing phase, for Deadline, for Camera-Ready
deadline, etc.) can be defined in ontology

– External context related to each project
• Notes, goals, current state etc.)
– Users we work with in relation to each project
– To be modified and continued…
