Abstract: Technologies are described herein for collaborative management of activities occurring during the lifecycle of a meeting. A collaboration program includes functionality for collaborative management of activities occurring during the entire lifecycle of a meeting. Using the collaboration program, meeting participants can collaborate on the creation of a meeting agenda prior to the occurrence of a meeting, can independently take and exchange meeting notes during a meeting, and can collaboratively generate a meeting summary following the meeting. The meeting agenda, meeting notes, and meeting summaries can be synchronized to a shared workspace accessible to each of the meeting participants through the collaboration program.

Abstract: Tools and techniques are described for enhanced client and server systems for operating collaboratively within shared workspaces. These tools may provide methods that include receiving document content associated with a workspace that is shared with one or more client systems. The client system may facilitate and manage the shared workspace. These methods may include receiving search commands that reference a search string, and searching the document content within the shared workspace for the search string. If the search string occurs anywhere within the shared workspace, the methods may report where the search string occurs within the shared workspace.
