MIKE2:Collaboration Environment

From MIKE2 Methodology

MIKE2.0 is hosted within a comprehensive collaboration environment that allow users to engage in knowledge sharing, content development and skills improvement. The capabilities provided by this environment include:

• A Wiki to collaboratively create and share content (based on MediaWiki which powers Wikipedia, the world's largest Wiki)

• A Blogs to publish individual or group-based information (based on Wordpress, the world's most popular blogging platform)

• Social Bookmarking for storing, sharing and discovering web bookmarks

• Social Networking – "facebook light" functionality for our IM community that is integrated into the other components

• Mashup from MIKE2.0, to build integrated solutions based on open content and internally held BearingPoint assets, thus enabling the concept of an Integrated Content Repository for Information Development.

• Search for users to discover content across federated repositories

• Rich User Interface with advanced navigational components an integrated skin and single sign on to provide common look and feel across the platform

• Open Methodology Compliance (OMC) capability to link an organisation into the MIKE2.0 open standard

We are continuing to extend this collaborative environmemt. Future release of MIKE2.0 are also expected to focus more specifically on producing software artifacts but will do this by linking into software management sites such as Sourceforge.
