I am thinking about giving BuddyPress a try on my test server. It is extension to WordPress (engine this very blog runs on if you are nto acquainted with it) for building community sites with user profiles and such in facebook/myspace/whatever style.

Might fit, too early to say.

As in post. I highly doubt there is a tool that fits what needed exactly.

So best case is two tools: filesharing back-end, and front-end that is nice to use and can easily integrate back-end into it.

You should take a look at this: (if you have’nt already)
- List of collaborative software
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_collaborative_software

You have a really good topic going on and I’m very interested to see the end results.

Thx

Thanks, will go over those. But your set seems more into time management. Ouch, just how many flavors of collaboration stuff there is?.. :)

Will go over them, but overall I see your sggestions leaning towards conferencing. Based on previous experience (see list of failed things) I think it should be closer to wiki.

I suspect wiki failed because there was little reason to visit except to make updates or look at others’ updates. So I guess it must retain wiki part but add much more useful stuff.

I am messing a looooot with WordPress lately so it would make sense to try and use it. Will post on specialized forum today asking for options and advice.

Very interesting one, bookmarked to check it out. Thanks!
