I’m going to be starting a few projects and papers soon with 3 others, and I’d like some central web-based tool that we can collaborate (and publish, blog-like) on our research.
I’ve thought about using something simple like wordpress, but that doesn’t really add much richness to the information.
A few things that we might need are:
- blog posts (publicly visible),
- Project/experiment journal (logged-in only) where we could document raw data, perhaps tabulated,
- MAYBE graphing this data, that would be cool,
- uploading files, with notes on them (photos, for example),
- Usable by both technical users (who might want to annotate or write about sourcecode) and non-technical users.
- A timeline of activity on the site, so we would know what each other are working on,
- Preferably not something I would need to host myself
Does anyone know of a cms/whatever that would we could use that would serve this purpose?
Thanks very much!
Sounds like a wiki is more in line what you are looking for. Not sure about hosting but I have used hosting providers in the past that install applications for you, maybe worth looking around.
