Talk:List of collaborative software/Archive 1

Propose deleting a few entries
I see Cadence as a product but could not find it (the corresponding Wikipedia article was deleted) except this site which does not seem to have the collaboration software product listed here: http://www.cadence-software.com/#/Products/ I propose to delete this item from the list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.138.230.142 (talk) 10:52, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

phpGroupWare
I see this platform listed in both open source and project collaboration lists; I would propose to keep in "project collaboration" section only those products that are designed with "project management" in mind, given that there is already a general list where all collaborative software products should be featuring, avoiding unwanted duplications.

Wiki Software
There already is list of wiki software and it is long. I don't think it is worthwhile to list wikis here again. -Hapsiainen 12:53, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)


 * I think I agree. Perhaps we could just link to the List of wiki software from this article in the appropriate spot and remove those particular links? &mdash;  Stevie is the man!  Talk 13:13, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)


 * Done. -Hapsiainen 14:49, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)

Since when is Interwoven free or open source? (under product list for web based solutions). -Mimi 12:49, Dec 20, 2005 (UTC)

Teamwork also is not really open source (only the domain classes). The license is proprietary. Should be moved out of the open source section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.186.16.30 (talk) 10:16, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Gobby
I think Gobby deserves mention here, although I'm not sure which section it would go in. I haven't really seen anything else like it. 66.20.189.94 16:31, 18 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I think Joomla! might also fit in here. Oberiko 12:14, 9 November 2006 (UTC)


 * My opinion is that Joomla is more of a Portal and Content Management system -it certainly could be used as a collaboration solution but I don't think it is developed with that particular usage as its driving focus.

Google Docs
Why no love for Google Docs here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.136.242.1 (talk) 17:16, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll add it in the main lists. Steve3003 (talk) 22:45, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Redundant links
Some links are redundant, I think it's good enough to have one project listed one time.
 * Did some cleanup, hope it was not too bold. - 83.254.215.231 (talk) 17:17, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Sort Projects alphabetically
Projects are not sorted alphabetically, sorting makes reading better.

New software
Can i add new software to this list?

more details about the software can be found at http://www.collaber.com

Our software is as powerfull as Microsoft Groove.. So we think it must be included in the list.

Thanks Rajesh

New platform
Please add "e-Deliberation" to the list of Collaborative Software with this descriptor: "Online platform for large group collaborative deliberation events to resolve complex problems or challenges. Yields a consent-based multifaceted strategy." The link should be to: https://www.e-deliberation.com Thank you Nisuc (talk) 21:12, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Incorrect placement of some items
How can Microsoft Office Groove be Open Source / Free Software? In the corresponding article, it says it is proprietary. (Of course, I didn't even need to read the article to tell you that.)FSHero 16:03, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Open-Source's Top Billing
Why is open source software in its own category here, and one that dominates the list? Wouldn't it make more sense to organize it by functional domain, collaborative capabilities (Email/IM groupware vs. data visualization vs. screen sharing), or some other logical categorization? Categorizing by license type seems unhelpful. Sam 06:44, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

MessagingMatrix
MessagingMatrix.com provides a much better (dynamic) grid comparison of messaging collaborative software, possibly provided certain titles & and a few attributes were added. It allows one to dynamically "Compare Microsoft Exchange, CommuniGate Pro, Novell Groupwise, Google Mail, and more here." says parent site CompareStuff.Net; and it includes Citadel/UX. So, folks, kindly add there the missing titles (as Group-Office & eGroupWare) and eventually move to there (for messaging) all the above comparison tables. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MBParker (talk • contribs)

Linkspam
The article is slowly accumulating linkspam again. Please see WP:EL, WP:SPAM, WP:NOT concerning the proper use of external links. --Ronz 16:49, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I've removed the links. --Ronz 17:15, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Inclusion criteria
The article needs some inclusion criteria for the entries, per WP:LIST. We can start by only listing collaborative software that already has their own articles. --Ronz (talk) 16:42, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Done, let's see how long it lasts. :) - 83.254.215.231 (talk) 03:15, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

what can i say on the subject?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.226.37.15 (talk) 20:31, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Suggested additions
My company's collaborative video post-production software looks like it would fit well here. Here are some third party references:
 * FORscene page at University of Guelph University of Guelph
 * NAB 2007 speakers information National_Association_of_Broadcasters
 * Axis partners Chyron Corporation.

If anyone agrees, feel free to add FORscene to this list. Stephen B Streater (talk) 22:44, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps it would be useful to sort this entire article into different uses for collaboration software? I feel like the topic is relatively broad, and can apply to anything (e.g. web development, programming, word processing, CAD, mathematical simulation software like Mathematica or Matlab, etc.). With this in mind, there's a collaboration-based music production software for electronic musicians and audio engineers called Ohm Studio: http://www.ohmstudio.com/. It's a standard Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) with Internet and filesharing capabilities. Betatesting should finish in January of this year. This is just one example, and I'm sure there are programs of all kinds with these same capabilities. Apologies (and disregard) if this isn't the purpose of the article.

Citrix Online products (GoToMeeting etc.) missing
Citrix Online's collaboration products, especially GoToMeeting, are in the top 5 in North American usage... shouldn't they be included? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.185.229.40 (talk) 07:04, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Comparison
Why not make a sort of comparison list, like with the Comparison of issue tracking systems on Wikipedia? That would make this page much more useful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.89.8.160 (talk) 12:31, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Clean-up required
Whoever tagged this article should have commented as to how it needed to be cleaned-up. I have removed entries that are linked to external sources rather than internal ones (see WP:LINKFARM) and removed Red links. Someone familiar with the content-matter should go through and eliminate anything that doesn't belong on the list. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:47, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Categories: can we clarify more?
This page could be far more useful if tools were sorted in two additional ways:
 * What is the access?
 * Which are cloud based, available online - no download required,
 * Which are cloud based, available online but require subscription to use (Many tools have free use with limitations - identify these)
 * Which are free downloads - (truly free -- not limited trial offers)
 * Which require download or software purchase with accompanying cost


 * What does collaborative tool do? What services does it provide?
 * Is it a wiki or website
 * Is it a document host or creator
 * Is it a schedule or calendar creator
 * Is it a database host
 * etc, etc, etc

 * List Management: As in mailing list management? (a link would be nice)
 * XML Forms Management and workflow : Why XML? I suggest to have a broader category "Forms Management and workflow", perhaps linked to Form_(web)

Banckle Reference Reverted
@MER-C, for the recent reverts, I would like to share that Banckle offers a suite of collaborative tools and like DimDim and other web conferencing alternatives; Banckle Online Meeting is one of its web based tool for conducting web conferencing sessions that comes with a free API as well to help developers creating new applications by borrowing some of its features. Since this page section List_of_collaborative_software correspond exactly with Banckle Online Meeting and the listed tools DimDim and Zimbra are its competitors so I added Banckle to that list. Please visit this blog page as a reference and read out a head-to-head features comparison of Banckle Online Meeting with DimDim. Please make sure that by referencing Banckle Online Meeting, promotion or other marketable benefits were not intended. The mentioning was made just for the sake of awareness that Banckle offer the same free API as an alternative solution for conducting Online Meetings, Live Chats and File Sharings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Khozman (talk • contribs) 00:35, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Non-notable entries removed
I've gone ahead and once again removed the non-notable entries. See Talk:List_of_collaborative_software and Talk:List_of_collaborative_software. --Ronz (talk) 21:59, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Where did the specifications of all the open source enterprise groupware go?
It seems odd that that IBM Lotus and Microsoft are the only products listed in tables where I seem to recall several worthy open source projects in the past.

While not quite worthy of the library of Alexandria, having a tabular listing of features of the notable open source (and other commercial) 'alternatives' to the two market leaders would be worthy. I would suggest that any project which someone cares enough about to fill in a table with its features is probably worthy of WikiPedia.

q.v. http://www.opengroupware.org/, http://www.egroupware.org/, http://www.citadel.org/, http://www.kolab.org/, and http://www.zimbra.com/

Smartsheet in Comparison table
Hi. Can we add Smartsheet to the "Comparison of collaborative software features" table? I've prepared a draft entry for them below David King, Ethical Wiki (COI) (Talk) 22:04, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Microsoft requesting edits
Hello, my name is Patricia Wagner and I'm an employee of Microsoft. I work in the Cloud+Enterprise division as a content publisher for Visual Studio Team Services, Team Foundation Server, and Application Lifecycle Management products. We are reviewing Wikipedia articles that relate to our areas and would like to update some to better represent the current state and features of our products.

Pat MSFT (talk) 18:14, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I have updated the entries on Team Foundation Server, but I have not added anything about Visual Studio Team Services, as that is referenced in the article for TFS as another version of TFS, which probably doesn't merit its own entry. Additionally, I have not added either to the section for open source software, as it appears to me that neither is open source. — crh 23   &thinsp;(Talk) 20:56, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

Note on notability requirement added
I have added a brief hidden note to offer some guidance on Wikipedia's notability requirements for new editors (based on WP:GNG and general list guidelines). Please feel free to tweak my English or eventual ambiguities. GermanJoe (talk) 15:55, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

What's the process to add a link in this page ?
Hello,

I would like to understand the process I should follow to edit this page and add a link to a new collaborative software in it?
