What tools are available for collaborating with a small number of people?

Question

Hi, I am collaborating with someone on a project and currently use Skype for collaboration. I like it because we can be on a call to say things that are hard to say by typing out. We can share our screens so we can help with code writing. And we can use the text chat to copy-paste code between each other. We also use Subversion for version control.

I just wanted to know what other people used for collaborating with others so I could see whats out there to use.

Thanks!

Answer 1

By the way, Google docs help a lot too here! And come at a great price - free! Their tools, comparable to Word, Excel are all free and read for collaboration.

Answer 2

You also need an issue tracker. I prefer Redmine which brings on a bunch of other project management features as well.

Answer 3

We're are leveraging email for project related collaboration with this tool:
