Re: information request...

Most collaborative software in open source is server side software, with 
a common browser for access, not client side.  Try www.sourceforge.net 
and then type in collab for a search string.  You will find two major 
patterns: LAMP/P(Linux, Apache, MySQL/PostgresQL/PHP/Perl/python and 
Java.  For small sites with less than 10 servers and less than 1000 
clients I prefer LAMP/P.  For larger installations, with the prospects 
of customization, Java my scale slightly better.  Yahoo and Google 
areexamples of LAMP systems.

Currently I am writing a book: Tranforming Small Businesses, examining 
and evaluating the top ten Open Systems in each of the various business 
categories such as Project Managemetn, Collaboration, CRM/ERP, 
e-commerce, etc.  If there are any folks interested in "collaborating" 
in the writing in one of these areas, please let me know.
