The Meeting Central prototype is a suite of collaboration tools designed to support distributed meetings. The tools' minimalist design provides only those features that have the most impact on distributed meeting effectiveness. The collaboration suite is built on top of a distributed, extensible, and scalable framework. This paper describes highlights from the user research, gives a flavor for the Meeting Central user interface, and includes a high-level description of the architecture.
