Jonathan Grudin makes some very good points in his article GROUPWARE AND SOCIAL DYNAMICS: EIGHT CHALLENGES FOR DEVELOPERS.

Introduction
to Groupware, Workflow, and Workgroup Computing
by Setrag Khoshafian, Marek Buckiewicz
"...most of the challenges are created by the human

groupware."
" To work well together in workgroup communities, we must
find ways of expressing our individual identities within the
constraints of available computer network technology."
