Abstract
A Web based community feedback collection tool. The Web based community feedback collection tool is programmed to establish the linkage between the traditional document editing tools (e.g., MS Word, Powerpoint) and a Web based community feedback collection tool. A writer could get the summarized feedback generated from Reader/Web community directly when they open the document through the traditional document editing tool. The reader could provide feedback directly as well when they read the document through the document editing tool.
