: spaces is qualitatively different. It shares many features with standard email/PIM software like Evolution or Outlook and provides other features, such as a built-in news aggregator (RSS reader), a personal webserver (to read your emails while away from your machine) and more. Its abstractions over information management are designed to simplify organization and access to information and for collaboration from the ground up. Along with the simplicity of its user interface, these elements will not only make spaces a better PIM, they will also allow it to be an ideal tool for collaboration between individuals and small groups. Spaces runs on any platform that supports Java 2 (version 1.4 and above), which includes Macintosh, Windows, Linux, Solaris, and other UNIX variants. Spaces is a tool that for the first time will integrate seamlessly all information management tasks for individuals and small groups under a single, easy-to-use interface. Using self-organizing P2P technologies, there will be no need for servers. Having designed the interface for collaboration from the ground up, there will be no need for five different programs that always do things differently and need a subpoena to talk to each other. The FAQ contains more information on what features are available now and the schedule for additional features. 4:48:27 PM
