Hi all, peparing my next open spaces , i would like to ask you: which tool - beside the combination of video-chat and mural/googledocs-like tools - would you recommend to do an open space online. Is there an all in one solution, readily prepared for online open spaces? I need it for less and for more, than 50 people.
