Collaborative software or groupware is an application software designed to help people involved in a common task to achieve their goals.

One of the earliest definitions of collaborative software is "intentional group processes plus software to support them".

Electronic mail, or email, is a method of exchanging digital messages between people using digital devices such as computers and mobile phones.

Email first entered substantial use in the 1960s and by the mid-1970s had taken the form now recognized as email.

Email operates across computer networks, which today is primarily the Internet.

Some early email systems required the author and the recipient to both be online at the same time, in common with instant messaging.

Today's email systems are based on a store-and-forward model.

Email servers accept, forward, deliver, and store messages.

Neither the users nor their computers are required to be online simultaneously; they need to connect only briefly, typically to a mail server or a webmail interface, for as long as it takes to send or receive messages.

A Web portal is most often a specially designed web site that brings information together from diverse sources in a uniform way.

Usually, each information source gets its dedicated area on the page for displaying information (a portlet); often, the user can configure which ones to display.

Variants of portals include mashups and intranet "dashboards" for executives and managers.

The extent to which content is displayed in a "uniform way" may depend on the intended user and the intended purpose, as well as the diversity of the content.

Very often design emphasis is on a certain "metaphor" for configuring and customizing the presentation of the content and the chosen implementation framework and/or code libraries.

In addition, the role of the user in an organization may determine which content can be added to the portal or deleted from the portal configuration.

A user is a person who uses a computer or network service.

Users generally use a system or a software product without the technical expertise required to fully understand it.

Power users use advanced features of programs, though they are not necessarily capable of computer programming and system administration.

Free software, freedom-respecting software, or software libre is computer software distributed under terms that allow the software users to run the software for any purpose as well as to study, change, and distribute the software and any adapted versions.

Free software is a matter of liberty, not price: users, individually or collectively, are free to do what they want with it, including the freedom to redistribute the software free of charge, or to sell it, or charge for related services such as support or warranty for profit.
