Ok, so my teacher been talking about web 2.0 technology. talking about the differences between the M$ products, zoho, google docs, and open docs(?) and it got me thinking. I'll be doing TQM this summer for skillsusa, and ive worked with the team before and we dont have internet in the hotel room we work out of, but its a hassle to throw 5+ jump drives around working on multiple versions of the same document...... My initial thoughts and prep work are taking a celeron windows ftp shared routed drive and have that connected with our wired router we usually take. (picture a king bed suite with 4 laptops, a laser printer and a desktop and thats what we work in and provide all ourselves). Now if we could get a zoho system working on our intranet that would be really awesome and save even more time and be more efficient. are there any solutions like that available?
 
Zoho looks like it is a hosted service so likely not. I would look at using a repository/versioning system for team projects. I have CVS installed on my server and I connect to it over an SSH tunnel. It took about 5 minutes to set up, is easy as pie to use and updates/commits take < 5 seconds most of the time. I use eclipse because I have been using it for awhile and have yet to see anything that works as good and works on the big 3 without any issues and has built in CVS/SVN support.

1) Person "A" commits a file to the repository
2) Person "B" may load or update said file
3) Person "B" can commit an update and the version bumps up
4) Person "A" commits the file but it has a higher version on the server so they are presented with a screen to insert/move the changes.
5) Everyone rejoices as they now have a proper repository/versioning system instead of passing files around.

CVS should be in the CentOS repo but eclipse may not be (I stopped using CentOS because the repo is rather sparse for some items: lighttpd, eaccelerator and denyhosts to name a few). As for installing it on windows, I wouldn't know. A lot of people prefer subversion over CVS, but svn requires apache to run and I don't like apache for various reasons so I use CVS.

For eclipse I would download the distribution for the language you are working with if it is in windows. I like PDT for PHP development, the CDT is decent for C/C++ (XCode has much better code sense IMO for C/C++ and Java). Eclipse is expandable via packages and even has its own package/update system that is decent but can be slow as molasses at times. A lot of people criticize eclipse for being bloated and written in java (bloated == java, coincidence?)
