TL;DR
This paper illustrates how Quilt could be used by collaborators to produce a document by showing how views of a document tailored to individual collaborators or to other of the document's users are provided by Quilt.
Abstract
Quilt is a computer-based tool for collaborative document production. It provides annotation, messaging, computer conferencing, and notification facilities to support communication and information sharing among the collaborators on a document. Views of a document tailored to individual collaborators or to other of the document's users are provided by Quilt based on the user's position in a permission hierarchy that reflects an extensible set of social roles and communication types. This paper illustrates how Quilt could be used by collaborators to produce a document.
