Requesters		{{#arraymap:Juliano, Cynthia|,|x|Requested by::x}}
Requirements		* Must allow students to post and work on projects together. One student can create something and share it with other students who edit it and save etc. Must allow development of projects using multiple applications (e.g. write documents, pictures, HTML, etc. needs full list). Juliano - "There is no way for group work for a couple of months in the same project using different activities." Must allow creation of project groups with edit and view privileges based on group membership. Must allow viewing of all projects and of projects filtered by various (needs definition) views. e.g. Juliano - "Even if the Neighborhood View show the currently shared projects, it will just show a subset of them, and just the ones that are currently being used" Must keep a history of who did what and when. Must include which groups worked on each project at different times. Must allow posting for viewing end result in school and publicly on the internet. Must allow "submitting" completed projects to teacher or otherwise setting a "completed" milestone. Must include out of band communication mechanisms. e.g. leave a message for other students saying "I updated frog project with new picture". This could be Chat, e-mail or other synchronous and asynchronous tools. Must allow working at home on XO and then synching up work with the latest shared version. Should included server based and non-server based solutions. That is, should not require a server in all cases. Provide a way to publish material to the world. related slightly to how edublog works now? see also robson's and juliano's interests here (from SJ).
