- This wiki!
- EtherPad - real time note pad for meeting note taking! (USSF common page). EtherPad is really user friendly, but unfortunately closed source. I've used gobby, however, I don't think it has a web based client. I did just discover Bespin - which is both free/open source and a web based interface. It looks a bit harder to use and is more geared toward developers though.
- Skype - owned by eBay - a good voice and video program - closed source - think that Gizmo is open source. We also have Asterisk plus sip phones like ekiga as options.
- IM
- IRC - Instant Relay Chat - one for USSF is set up here #USSF. 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).
