1. A method of tracking a collaborative process and propagating a notification of an occurrence of an event to an originator comprising:

  • receiving at a collaborative process server computer coupled to a network environment, an indication that a user has initiated, with a first collaborative process application, a computer implemented collaborative process that generates collaborative content associated with the collaborative process, wherein the user defines an originator of the generated collaborative content;

    obtaining by the collaborative process server computer, a designation that events associated with the initiated collaborative process are to be tracked;

    sharing the generated collaborative content associated with the collaborative process with at least one recipient;

    obtaining by the collaborative process server computer, information identifying the occurrence of at least one computer detectable event associated with the shared generated collaborative content other than a communication from any recipient back to the originator;

    automatically transforming information associated with the collaborative process in response to at least one detected event associated with the shared generated collaborative content; and

    propagating a notification to the originator that informs the originator of the at least one detected event, wherein the notification is generated in response to the at least one detected event and is based upon the transformed information;

    wherein;

    sharing the generated collaborative content associated with the collaborative process with at least one recipient further comprises;

    providing a notice to at least one recipient that events are being tracked to send notifications to the originator, andproviding each recipient that receives the notice with an option to enable sending notifications or disable sending notifications; and

    propagating a notification to the originator further comprises;

    refraining from propagating the notification when the at least one detected event is associated with a recipient that received the notice and that indicated the option to disable sending notifications.
