Robert Galavan's List: Collaboration Tools

A publicly available Wikimedia hosted instance of etherpad for everybody to use.

The home page for the etherpad project. An amazing tool for real time multiple author collaboration.

A powerful tool for managing projects and sharing data. Build a structured wiki site without having to learn wiki code.

If version history (and not real-time) collaboration is important, this might be the tool for you. It is a text editor which stores all text on GitHub. Collaborators make copies of the master text and edit it. When finished submit their new version to the master text owner, who can merge all or part of the versions.

There is detailed version history available and difference between documents are easily identified.

This is a collaborative writing tool aimed squarely at academics. It even integrates with BibTex tools like Zotero. Also integrates with the Open Journal System (OJS). Now has a beta real-time collaboration function.

An academic collaborative tool focussed on supporting science authors. Uses Latex and Markdown.
