will be working on a team of four to eight people all of whom work in<br>
different cities. Our normal routine is to spend a lot of time on the<br>
phone, two parties at a time. We have a common file server, but<br>
document control is difficult since everyone gets copies the documents<br>
and modifies them locally. Of course we use email for correspondence<br>
and document archiving as well. Our documents are mostly the word<br>
processor and spreadsheet varieties. We do have some drawings which<br>
are usually shared as PDFs.<br>
<br>
I would like:<br>
a group chat which archives conversations so newcomers can review the<br>
past conversations<br>
a file server which<br>
marks editable documents as 'Checked Out because someone is<br>
editing them' or 'Available to be edited'<br>
tracks changes and/or keeps chronological backups<br>
notifies users of added or updated documents<br>
<br>
It would be nice to have:<br>
online editing of word processor and spread sheet documents<br>
a Linux based solution that I can host in house<br>
<br>
Our word processor documents have objects inserted, jpegs, usually.<br>
<br>
I have looked a little at Google Wave and irc for the chat part, but I<br>
don't have much experience with either and would like to get your<br>
ideas.<br>
TIA<br>
...John<br>
