List of collaborative software

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Khozman (talk | contribs) at 00:24, 22 September 2011 (→Collaborative software). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This list is divided into proprietary or free software, and open source software, with several comparison tables among different product and vendors characteristics. It also includes a section of "projectware" or project collaboration software, which are combining with cloud computing services to become a standard feature in an emerging category of computer software: collaboration platforms. Please note that there is also a list of Wiki Software and eventually some of the software products listed here still may overlap in both lists.
