In modern Web, where users log to social networks has become a daily activity, the success of these applications to attract more users is often justified by offering social presence to the user on these virtual spaces. Developing applications in software engineering domain is a collaborative task that requires implementing more sophisticated tools to support all suitable collaboration aspects. Web-based IDEs have experienced a series of changes compared to their desktop versions, tending therefore to become more able to implement new collaboration approaches and mechanisms. Within the lack of social aspect in web-based IDEs, collaboration between developers does not seem to be optimal. This article presents a study of social networks resources that can be operated through the use of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) thus providing a social aspect to web-based IDEs. It points how we can use these resources to create new collaborative experience in software engineering field.

Web 2.0 makes users the main actors for publishing content and creating applications on the web. The increasing of information overload and consequently the decrease of its quality are the main problems of this domain. Content Management Systems (CMS) provide the ability to publish on the web by offering simple publishing tools for ordinary users with no technical skills. Content available on the web created using the CMS is not well controlled and requires efficient process that evaluates its quality. Therefore, Content Management Systems contribute to the problem related to information and content quality similarly to Web 2.0 tools. The mechanism of validating content has proved a high-level of content’s quality control by involving users in the process according to Web 2.0 philosophy. From these perspectives, we develop Validated Content Management System (VCMS) as a new Web 2.0 tool that supports content validation mechanisms. This article presents the VCMS and its ability to provide an effective quality control for web content. We introduce a new manner of collaborative publishing and we give an overview about features of our system and its core architecture.
