Subject: [Lisop-en] Best wishes for 2011 - Sopinspace
Message-ID: <201101040957.52293.newsletter@sopinspace.com>

Sopinspace's full team expresses its best wishes for 2011 to be a great participation and collaboration year. Find them in graphical form at http://www.sopinspace.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/voeux-Sop-en-600x800.jpg.

2010 saw the launch of our main technological product : the free software-based Web service co-ment(R) for the on-line collaborative annotation and revision of texts. co-ment is today a mature product. It has become a reference for educational and humanities research text-centered applications. Great use cases also exist in the legislative and legal domains, as well as for civil society groups and companies. Check http://www.co-ment.com. co-ment can be used in three different manners :

* For an immediate work on a single text (without quantitative limitations) through the https://lite.co-ment.com free-of-charge service
* With a specific workspace where texts and users can be managed in a perennial manner, through the co-ment PRO service (http://www.co-ment.com)
* By installing your own co-ment server thanks to the COMT free software (AGPLv3), available from teh community site at http://www.co-ment.org

Thanks to an open API, co-ment functionality can now be integrated in content management systems. In particular, we developed a Drupal client making the annotation functionality of co-ment directly and transparently available in Drupal.

En 2010, Sopinspace also confirmed its position as provider of collaborative platforms for participative processes. We for instance developed La Fabrique de la ville de Roubaix (http://lafabrique.ville-roubaix.fr/), the collaborative site of the Participation du public, d?cision, d?mocratie participative network (http://participation-et-democratie.fr). We are presently conducting the evaluation of the extranet citoyen (citizen extranet) of the city of Nantes. For more information, see our portfolio at http://www.sopinspace.com/?page_id=46".
