This document summarizes the integration of CoFFEE collaboration tools into Rational Team Concert (RTC). CoFFEE allows for synchronous collaboration using tools like threaded discussion, co-writing, and graphical tools. The integration aims to save collaboration outcomes in RTC. A demo shows a leader starting a discussion in RTC using CoFFEE tools, with other users participating and collaborating. Sessions can then be saved to the RTC repository and reloaded later.
