If you ever wondered what it would incorporate co-operation (real-time collaboration) in Microsoft Sharepoint, and can stop.

In the last months, the team of specialists from Microsoft Sharepoint at Huddle Group, worked to integrate beWeeVee as a webpart in this tool. This is a big step because this provides strong progress in the sense of increasing the adoption of co-operation in a corporate environment through familiar tools for these users. Taking its intrinsic benefits to end users in a simple and proven effective.

Huddle Group team, headed by Daniel Saad, based its work on beWeeVee SDK to create a webpart that would easily integrate with Microsoft Sharepoint and export the result of the pad to a Document Library.

How does it works?

1. It allows to write documents using the co-operation between 2 or more users.
2. Automatically saves the result to a Document Library.
3. It uses native Microsoft Sharepoint features such as versioning, workflows, and permissions.

The team developed this webpart to be used in areas such as:

• Meeting Minutes Generator
• Review Spaces for Documents
• Templates for spaces of co-operative working

Another good news is that the webpart works in Microsoft Sharepoint 2007 and Microsoft Sharepoint 2010.

The following is a preview of the product, implemented at a domestic site Huddle Group.

To all users,

Given that Etherpad was bought and shutdown by Google, Etherpad users are now looking for alternatives. As the beWeeVee Notepad Techdemo support some of the features that Etherpad had constructed over their 10 months of operations it looks natural that some more users gravitate toward using it as an alternative.

Yesterday, when the word came to us from one of our users, that Etherpad was effectively shutting down on March we recognized that a void was created when more users started to use beWeeVee Notepad Tech-Demo as a substitute for it. beWeeVee as a technology is very important for Corvalius, as such we will continue to provide more features and also enhance our Software Development Kit for developers to create amazing application with it.

beWeeVee from the start has been conceived as a technology aimed at enhancing Desktop applications (like for example: beWeeVee for Visual Studio ) with real-time collaborative features (co-operation). The Tech-Demo aims to show those looking to implement those features in their software what could be possible using the Software Development Kit.

beWeeVee is a .Net technology so for the time being, the beWeeVee Notepad will continue be released on the Silverlight platform.

We would definitely want to hear your feedback and act accordingly on the technology roadmap. Visit us at http://beweevee.uservoice.com/.

Sincerely,
The beWeeVee Team @Corvalius

The current identity of Corvalius hasn’t been defined overnight. ZOom worked hard enough to fulfill our illusions of having a REALLY good looking brand.
