| | * Provide a general framework for specific developers to build their goal-based collaborative applications |
| | |
| | h2. Summary Features |
| | |
| | * Portal-based |
| | * Goals and workspace oriented: resources readily accessible in one interface |
| | * Wide range of tools (forums, wikis, repositories, instant messaging, etc) |
| | * Easy integration of shibbolized tools internally within VO and externally available ones |
| | * Propagation of VO attributes to tools/services |
| | * Strong authZ on resources/services |
| | * Integration with grid resources via generation of proxy cert to access grid resources |
