[thelist] Online collaborative working system

[Ken Schaefer]

I'd love to evangelise my Tablet PC, and product called OneNote at this point
:-)

OneNote lets you create a "conference" between multiple users of the product.
Each person can see the same "whiteboard". Now, if you just have a keyboard
and mouse you're kinda limited to writing things and/or drawing stuff with
the mouse. That said, it's still a great tool for organising things.

But if you have either a Microsoft Tablet PC -or- any other tablet/touchpad
type device, you can easily draw things like mind maps. Each person can
contribute to the same whiteboard. 

If you go to this URL:
http://www.microsoft.com/Office/onenote/prodinfo/demo.mspx
and click the "demo" link you can see the features of OneNote, the real-time
collaboration options are under "share"

Tablet PCs are amazing (I've got a Toshiba M200), and OneNote is one of the
things that makes it amazing. 

Cheers
Ken

: Hi
: 
: I want to discuss a project with a couple of friends online. I've
: started with a mind-map
: <http://www.mind-map.com/EN/mindmaps/definition.html> of the issues to
: discuss. The project is currently very unstructured, with various
: ideas requiring further exploration.
: 
: My question is, does anyone have experience of online tools to help
: with this sort of thing?
: 
: I could start an email list, that's fine but not many people's email
: clients support threading.
: 
: I could start a wiki. No idea whether that's simple or not.
: 
: I could install a forum just for this, with all the aspects of the
: project in different sections. That might work, I've never installed
: one though.
: 
: Or I could just keep meeting them in the real world and just do it
: manually.
: 
: Any thoughts anyone?
