US Patent 9519883 Automatic project content suggestion

Automatically suggesting content, for example, documents, contacts information, tasks, calendar items, and the like, for inclusion into an electronic collaborative workspace is provided. Given a short description of a given project or collaborative workspace, an initial project membership list, and identification of local or external content repositories, content associated with the project or workspace may be retrieved and recommended to one or more users for inclusion into the project or collaborative workspace. Thus, the time and effort required for initially populating an electronic workspace with needed content is dramatically reduced.
