Abstract
A computer-based system and method for organizing and sharing information in a workspace. The system includes a workspace engine that implements the workspace using projects and associated notecards. A web server provides the projects and notecards to one or more client computers for display. Each notecard contains information related to such things as materials, solutions, advice, contacts and the like, and for this purpose includes restricted, public, and information sections containing different portions of the information. Each project has one or more notecards or other projects associated with it and are used by the system to enable users to collaborate on the project.
