There are several ways of using Connexions to collaborate with other authors.

Coauthorship

Colleagues who participate in the creation of new content can each be listed as an author.

Additional maintainers

You can assign others to assist you in maintaining content in Connexions by granting them a maintainer role.

Workgroups

You and your collaborators can create a workgroup and look over each others' content as you work, making comments before publishing. This tool also works well with the above methods.

Suggest Changes

Even if you do not know the author of a specific piece of content, you can send a set of suggested edits.

Derive a Copy

If the author is not sympathetic to your suggestions, or if you want to take the content in a different direction, you can derive a copy and begin a new work based on the original. The original author will still get attribution for his or her work. Note that your new content will not automatically be updated if he or she makes changes to the original.
