Services in Collaber
In a Workspace we will have members. What ever each member does in the workspace will be informed to all other members.
In a Service there will be service providers and subscribers. Each collaber account can publich any number of services(each different kind). And other contacts can subscribe to these services. Only those subscribed users will be informed of any changes done to the service.
To understand it clearly I need to provide some examples of services…
- Blog service: Other people can subscribe to your blog. When ever you add a new post they will be informed.
- Calendar service: If some one wants to know if you are free on a particular date, or what you are doing on some day,etc they can subscribe to your Calendar service. Your Calendar service automatically talks to all your task and calendar tools in all your workspaces and will update those events on your calendar service.
- Backup service: Using this service you can subscribe to a storage space on your other contacts.
These are just an example services. You can even sell your services to the subscribers. It all depends on what your service is. There is tremendous possibilities of services. So give power to your imagination and develop services for Collaber.
Ooh wait. You need to wait for Collaber 1.0.5 for that.

Serious potential here!
Do this mean you can publish from inside your workspace to some item outside your workspace?
So you can expose selected content to regular ‘web browsers’ & non-members?

You(service developer) can choose to expose the content using normal GUI or publish it to other users using website(P2P)etc.
