The features of a project are designed to facilitate teamwork and include such items as a calendar, task lists, documents, discussions, a wiki, a blog, announcements, and search. Oracle WebCenter Collaboration can have many projects; project information can be accessed from any community page where some or all Oracle WebCenter Collaboration portlets reside.
