Recommend collaboration software (over internet, offline or online)

<< < (3/5) > >>

JavaJones:
What you want isn't really "collaboration" then, more like a secure information sharing platform. Collaboration implies two-way editing, with you as not the only editor.

Anyway, if you want to preserve the original file formats I'm not sure there's a way to do that and allow them to be viewed without being downloadable. Google Docs or Zoho come closest though because you can share with view-only access.

HFS is two-way only in a rudimentary way because you need to use a simplistic file upload box to upload files (for remote users). But if that's enough for your needs it may address the "file sharing" aspect, though not the "docs without download to his computer" part (see Gdocs, Zoho).

On the other hand if all you need is a place to share *information*, not necessarily particular formats or existing files, then a wiki or CMS might be the way to go as you can maintain control, set permissions on pages granularly, etc. If unique design is not important you can setup many CMSs very quickly and easily to do this, e.g. Silverstripe or Concrete 5.

Actually, the last day or two I've almost settled on twiki.  I just want somewhere to dump all the information, but it needs to be able to display media also, like photos and videos.

JavaJones:
There are wikis you can embed photos and videos into. Not sure if Twiki is one of them though. Zoho offers a hosted Wiki solution (and all the other tools I mentioned of course), which does allow media embed: http://www.zoho.com/wiki/

I've installed twiki right now (with the help of gothic).  It's a little overwhelming for me.  If I can't understand i in about a week, I may have to go for something easier to use.  I like collanos, at least the idea of it.  It doesn't seem to do what I want it to do as far as flexibility, but it's the right idea.  Nice simple interface, doesn't seem to be too intimidating.  But I want something more like a bulletin board.

If I could get the Onenote interface EXACTLY as it is and put it onto a website, that is precisely the thing that I would love.  That would be just perfect.  I'm sitting here and thinking about it, and that's exactly what I'm looking for.  I want Onenote that can be accessed through the web.  Well...except with the ability to embed videos and other content I suppose.
