Open Source Collaborative and Presentation Tools?

Posted by Cliff on from the everone-on-the-same-page dept.

An anonymous reader asks: "I've been asked to discuss collaboration tools at un upcoming meeting. Things like Groove, DocuShare, and WebEx all have significant costs associated with them, so I'm curious to know what everyone on Slashdot is using (if anything). What kind of software would you use to enable simultaneous document editing with version control, or to sync presentations across participant browsers for an online meeting, etc?"

    SubEthaEdit is pretty sweet. Free for personal use, 35$ for commercial use isn't too bad...

  2. Trac SCM by Ankle · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I can recommend Edgewall's trac for a svn server/wiki/project manager. It is F/OSS and very flexible in my experience. I am using it for a development community similar to the idea of sourceforge but much smaller and dedicated to extensions/distros/etc of a single OSS project. I am also using it for my own projects and I can highly recommend it.
