What about something like Confluence? http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/
We use this product for on the fly documentation and collaboration, manuals. etc.. There is all kinds of user level control etc.. you can even export pages as PDF's or word docs. All you need to do is make the url available to where the users may want to get at it, granted this might still require VPN if you want to protect the content. -Victor -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Edward Ned Harvey Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2008 9:13 AM To: 'John Stoffel' Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: [BBLISA] Web Application - Word, Excel, etc,Citrix?

It works, some of them use it. Others roam around from computer to computer, location to location, don't always have their own laptop with them. Prefer to login to the web browser and simply edit a doc, rather than install vpn, reboot, open a vpn, browse file share, and then edit a doc. (Of course the first 2 steps are required only the first time.) They also have the convenience of saving password in the browser, which I don't give them on the VPN. Not sure if I can, even if I want to. The point is - the convenience of editing the doc inside a browser just can't be beat. For people who quickly think up something, want to jot it down, and instantaneously move on to something else... _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa
