Abstract
We describe and sustain the decisions made during the conceptualization of a cooperative multimedia editing tool, which enables co-authors to cooperatively produce multimedia documents. The main goal is to enhance inter-user communication. Co-authors can communicate their ideas, drafts, guidelines and constraints to other co-authors using a mixture of communication patterns, media and document organization. They keep exchanging information (remotely or face-to-face), improving passages and modifying notes until a final document is achieved. Our efforts were on integrating concepts from collaboration support, multimedia document contents and multimedia communication rather than on making a specialized system for any of them. In an integrated manner, the co-authors can edit text, raster images and 2D-object-oriented graphics information. Moreover, one can communicate via a text, voice or video channel (possibly more than one simultaneously).
