Abstract: Quilt is a tool for collaborative document
        production that emphasizes and supports the
        communication vital to good collaboration. For
        example, links may be structured hypermedia links
        that allow people to attach text and voice
        annotations to the document. These may be
        specialized as revision suggestions, public
        comments, and directed messages. The necessary
        coordination between collaborators is enhanced via
        activity logging, notification and triggering
        mechanisms. Access permissions can be set by the
        author to reflect the varying roles of collaborators
        (as writers, commenters, reviewers), while
        user-customizable definitions for such things as
        document and annotation types make the system both
        flexible and extensible.
