An apparatus for use in a well comprises a structure having at least a first portion formed of a first material, and a detector to detect a signal associated with a component located either within or beyond the structure. The first material has a property that reduces attenuation of the signal.

Server-based collaboration is initiated by an email. When the user creates the email message with attachments, a collaboration website is provisioned. The collaboration website allows collaborations on the attached documents by the recipients of the message. The ease of collaboration with email and the advantages of the collaboration server are thus both available to the user.
