PART IV
Facilitating User Collaboration
In this part...
In the year 1624, John Donne wrote compellingly that “no man is an island, entire of itself.” Of course, Donne was talking about collaboration software, also known as groupware: e-mail, group scheduling and calendars, text chat, and user-editable web pages.
But Donne wrote his profound reflection before Apple shipped Lion Server. He didn't know about some of the stuff that other servers don't provide: a wiki-based collaborative environment, already built when you turn on Lion Server; Address Book Server, an interactive contact manager that users can safely edit without tampering with directory services; Podcast Producer, an automated video workflow system; and iChat, which adds video conferencing to instant messaging.
And Donne didn't know that he could access it all from his iPhone and iPad.
Well, I know it, and I'm sharing it with you in Part IV. It's not profound like Meditation XVII, but it does help you serve humankind — or at least your users — with groupware.
