Q: "I
am interested in finding online word processing software for collaborative
writing that I can use with my co-authors. Some thoughts: 1)
I'd like something low cost (or free); 2) I've found two possible
programs so far: WriteBoard and ZohoWriter (apparently in a beta
version only). Aside from usability, I'm also concerned about security
-- that our work is protected and stays private; 3) Instead of
writing online, I've also been looking at using a wiki like wikispaces.com
to share documents more easily.
Has anyone used
these or any other programs for collaborative writing, or have
any other ideas or experiences? I remember trying to convince my
colleagues in the early 90s that they really could send documents
by email. Now I'd like to take advantage of the new capabilities
of the web."

"Some use Google
Docs and Spreadsheets and a newer, and in my opinion more stable,
package is called thinkfree. Here's the URL: Click
