My company is starting a collaborative project with team groups in several different countries. We are currently searching for some good collaborative tools that will allow us to centralize and share all the project data. A web site or some repository that would allows us to do important things like centralizing all the documentation, allowing group members to change it, email notification on changes, possibily a forum, the normal functions that would allow the management of a project of this kind easier, a big drawback is that it needs Windows 2003 Server.
I've been recently trying MS Sharepoint and it really seems nice, easy to use and for what I've seen could possibly do the job. But still, I'd like to hear if there are any other (better?) tools on this subject. An open source or free tool could be very interesting.
Anyway if anyone can give it's opinions and experience on this matter I'd appreciate.
TIA
