Abstract
Orbit is a prototype collaboration-support system intended to demonstrate a vision of a distributed, computer-mediated work environment. The prototype is an attempt to articulate and test the ideas contained in the Locales Framework — a proposed set of patterns for successful collaborative systems based on the work of Anselin Strauss.
