Awesome. That is what I needed.

Thank you.

Sorry, could you elaborate more on making a wiki group? I don't know anything  
about that, a link with documentation would help.


Etherpad is very good.

Thank you all.

I meant use a wiki software like mediawiki
 make it readable and editable for only the people you want.

Re: [Trisquel-users] A replacement for google doc for collaboratively write documents

[trisquel-57dhdj]

mediawiki is hard for small project. I suggesd dokuwiki or wikiwiki both are  
free software.

Re: [Trisquel-users] A replacement for google doc for collaboratively write documents

[franparpe]

I was watching videos about doku and I've to say that it is very impressive  
and I've found pluguins to export to odf format.


It is a shame it doesn't have an integrated chat to speak with others and I  
think you cannot see the other person typing as you do so you cannot work at  
the same time on the same document like etherpad. If I'm wrong, please  
correct me.


Either way, I'm sad I hadn't discovered free software before because these  
ways of working are awesome and the base for a good education.

You don't need wiki software to provide a chat feature! Just use IRC or XMPP  
if you want text chat, or if you want voice or video chat, Mumble or SIP  
(Ekiga, Jitsi, etc).

Re: [Trisquel-users] A replacement for google doc for collaboratively write documents

[franparpe]

Sorry onpon4 but I've written my complain poorly: It's not about the chat  
feature, it's about working on the same document at the same time. Let me put  
an example of what I mean:


I remember working on a tutorial for the Trisquel wiki: I was correcting some  
mistakes I've made but a very kind member of the comunity modified some of  
the contents at the same time without me noticing it. When I tried to save my  
changes some message appeared telling me that I cannot save. That is not the  
collaboration I want for the project I'm currently working on, I want to be  
able to work on the same document with my friend at the same time as him.

Re: [Trisquel-users] A replacement for google doc for collaboratively write documents

[onpon4]

Maybe you could achieve what you want with VNC control? That is, one of you  
setting up a VNC server allowing others to take control, and then all  
collaborators connecting to that server.


If you need a VNC client/server package to recommend, I'd suggest TightVNC.  
On Trisquel, Remmina seems to be a good choice.

Greetings ladies and gentlemen.

I think the title is self-explanatory but I will elaborate on that just in  
case:


I want to work with my friends on a specific subject and we would want to  
have an alternative to google docs. We are now working with the owncloud  
editor but we are looking for something with more features.


Any options?

Thank you.
