>  Ever have an idea for a TV show, a stage production, or a movie script?
>  How do you get everyone on the same page?  Collaboration is a very hot
>  issue right now, and with good reason. Through the use of several
>  cross-platform and web based applications, you can share documents,
>  scripts, and whiteboards, while using VOIP, IM and chat all at the same
>  time. These tools can be used for many other purposes as well, including
>  workplace tasks.  They are well suited for small offices and startup
>  companies.  The total software cost of this infrastructure is a whopping
>  ZERO! The preferred OS is Linux of course, and all of the applications
>  required are Open Source, but if you are running Windows you can still
>  get on the same page. You can use all open source applications for video
>  editing and graphics production, even subtitling.
