Collaborating in an online environment can take shape in many different ways. It can mean the creation of a document with colleagues, it can involve a discussion, booking and scheduling dates, publishing to a website, charting progress and sharing information. There isn't an organization or company that doesn't need to collaborate on a regular basis. The problem is that most don't have the tools to do so. Open source applications open up the possibilities and make collaboration possible whether you're building a community or just need to have a long distance meeting.
The following is a listing of some of the collaboration tools that are available:
