Claim:
A method for parallel updating of web contents for a web portal, the method comprising: configuring, by a server, a web portal to present a web page comprising a plurality of sections, wherein each of the sections is configured to display contents and is assigned to an operator-group for updating the contents, and wherein each operator-group of the assigned section has at least an operator and is assigned a group workspace for holding information for updating the contents in the assigned section; and updating the contents in a first one of the sections in response to a request submitted via a web user interface (UI) on a computing device by a first operator in an operator-group assigned to the first one of the sections, wherein the user interface allows the first operator in the operator-group to update the first one of the sections by submitting a request of posting a piece of information to the first one of the sections, and wherein the user interface permits the first operator to update the first one of the sections by submitting a request of removing a piece of previously posted information from the first one of the sections, and wherein the updating of the contents in the first one of the sections by the first operator is carried out in parallel at least with updating of contents of another one of the sections by another operator in another operator-group assigned to the another one of the sections, without interfering with each other, and wherein the parallel updating is carried out with a user space multitask support mechanism for processing the posting and the removing of information.
