Collaborative Tools

  • This wiki!
  • EtherPad - real time note pad for meeting note taking! (USSF common page). EtherPad is really friendly, but unfortunately closed source. Gobby is good although it doens't have a web based client. Bespin is both free/open source and a web based interface. It looks a bit harder to use and is more geared toward developers.
  • Skype - owned by eBay - a good voice and video program - closed source - Gizmo is open source. We also have Asterisk plus sip phones like ekiga as options.
  • IM
  • IRC - Instant Relay Chat - In 2007, we used silc. I think having a simple web client is a good idea and will help participants. Also - I know that Crabgrass has a chat component.
  • Laconi.ca - open source blogging platform - developer is very interested in helping the US Social Forum get their own (like Identi.ca and twit.tv).

Information Tools
