Current projects
Wiki 3.0
The project Wiki 3.0, brought in partnership with INRIA and Mandriva,
was selected by the French Ministry of Economy. There were 44 projects chosen from 340 submitted.
The aim of this project is to create a new generation collaborative platform based on new modalities of interaction and joint work.
The platform will benefit from the power of social networks, the opportunities for collaborative editing of documents in real time and from the cloud infrastructures. The final goal of the project Wiki 3.0 is the availability of an enterprise business solution that can provide significant productivity gains in the processes of exchange and creation of knowledge within professional groups.
The project will start at the beginning of 2010.
