Team collaboration software is something we are going to see more and more of in the future.  With businesses struggling to survive in these economic conditions, they’re going to start waking up and realizing that technology exists that will let their people work from home!

I could get into all the ‘business’ reasons why it’s more productive to let your staff stay home and work – but I won’t.

Instead, we’re going to check out Mindquarry, a server-side/client-side application that will let you and your team do more without sitting in the same room!

Mindquarry is an Open Source collaborative software platform for file sharing (documents, images, media files, etc.), task and project management, team collaboration and Wiki editing that meshes simplicity and functionality. As a result, knowledge workers are able to connect with team members and share information from wherever they are, effectively improving team-work and increasing productivity within the company.

There are all sorts of cool features to the open source software like:

  • The ability to work offline or online
  • Undo/redo any team content
  • Wiki server
  • Coordinate tasks
  • Form and manage teams
  • Secure authentication

If anyone has used this stuff and has an opinion, please feel free to share!  If there’s another piece of software you like instead – let me know.  I’ll get it featured!
