Collaborative Applications@TCM

In order to promote and facilitate collaborative work at TCM different applications were incorporated in our daily tasks. All of them are free web applications that are simple and intuitive, which reduce the time needed to use them and help us focusing on the important tasks.
Following you will find some of these applications.

WORDPRESS
WordPress is an open source blog tool and publishing platform powered by PHP and MySQL. It’s often customized into a Content Management System (CMS)[4]. It has many features including a plug-in architecture and a template system. WordPress is used by over 13% of the 1,000,000 biggest websites.
At TCM we are using Wordpess as the platform for our new Portal. It easy to install and to maintain helping us to focus on the content of the site.

BETTERMEANS – http://bettermeans.com/
Basing the platform on a system of equality, Better Means allows teams to collaborate on projects in a fair, honest environment. A democratic voting system ensures everyone who wants to contribute to a project is able to have their voice heard. Contributors outside of the core team can also vote and comment on projects, allowing the wider community opinion to be heard, whilst not affecting the progression of projects.
