Groupware and Computer Conferencing

Caucus is the most widespread computer conferencing system in the world. It is
available for most of the popular operating systems and many computer
networks

Computer conferencing falls in the family of groupware products, in that it
enhances group communication. A computer conference is like a meeting except
that participants need not be in the same place nor meet at the same time.
Everything that everyone says is entered into Caucus and stored in the memory
of the host computer. Later participants review what others have entered and
may add further comments. Caucus keeps track of who has read which discussions
and what new material has been added

Conferencing can be used to supplement live meetings, to replace meetings where
timing is not critical, or to bring together people who ordinarily would have a
difficult time getting together due to location or cost constraints.
