Editing Distributive writing (section)

== Software to support distributive writing ==

=== Social Software ===
[[Social Software]] enables people to connect, communicate, and collaborate. It is explicitly the social which is of importance and is what is operated on. It is the commodity in the system. This is different from Distributive Writing because social software is based upon software, whereas DW is not, and is not just about collaborative writing. It is also about other forms of [[Socialization|socializing]].

=== Collaborative software, aka Groupware ===
[[Collaborative software|GroupWare]] is about software and more importantly, in common use to describe combining many pieces of software together into a group for so-called easy access for an individual. The original definition had to do with a group of people operating on something collaboratively through software, but this has changed meaning due to corporate appropriation to describe software suites like [[Microsoft Office]] and [[LibreOffice]].

=== Computer-supported collaboration (CSCT) ===
Distributive writing is not just bound to [[computing]] like CSCT.
