Bill, I suppose your concern could be a good one, although since we have only been dealing with topics like administrative project management, it hasn't come up.
Another recommendation: try jive.com. We just installed the free version to test for our own intranet uses, and it is very slick and fun to use. It's basically an intranet out of the box. Now, the free version does not let you add users of different domains, but I believe the licensed version does.
Bill, have you ever tried zoho.com? I was impressed by the recent NY Times Technology writeup of the Zoho suite of office/collaboration tools, and we're using it a bit here - just barely scratching the surface. I recommend trying the business version - it's all free. They have wikis, documents, tracking, discussions - easy to set up and use.
Thanks, Julie. Interesting and what a vast collection of applications! Which of them do you find most useful & for what? If you were to market this for research groups do you think they would balk at the fact that they were entrusting their files to a third party? I think there would also be some concern about sharing ePHI or large datasets. Appreciate thoughts!
