I've used php Collab in the past and it worked well. BUT, most of my
clients just prefer to email me and look at the project in various
stages in a password proteced folder somewhere. Common coment: "but I
don't want to learn something new, can't I just email you?" Appy is
more useful, imho, if there are a larger number of collaborators:
