Environment for cooperative knowledge management
sTeam provides a technical platform which allows groups of students, lecturers
and any other groups to construct and arrange their individual and cooperative
learning and working space.

sTeam consists of an object-oriented server connected to a database and Web,
Java and other (ftp, irc, ...) clients. The server is event-driven and manages
all user objects as well as the communication between the connected clients.

Different from most other cooperation tools is the novel possibility of
self-organisation and self-administration by the members within the virtual
environment.

In the core, the system provides the following self-administrating functions:

    * creation of rooms
    * granting of admission or access authorisations
    * administration and processing of objects or references to objects and
      documents located on other servers
    * carrying objects and passing them on to other users
    * use of rooms as cooperative media (e.g. Shared Whiteboard)

A more detailed description can be found on the website:

sTeam needs a mysql server, but it need not necessarily be installed on the
same computer.

This package contains the sTeam server.
