There's also <a href="http://collabedit.com/" rel="nofollow">http://collabedit.com/</a> for real time collaboration on programming docs. </p> <p><em>Replying to @<a href='/profile/tanyaclement'>tanyaclement</a>'s <a href="http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/topic/collaborative-editing-html-in-the-cloud#post-1455">post</a>:</em> </p> http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/topic/collaborative-editing-html-in-the-cloud#post-1460 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 01:42:41 +0000 Rachel 1460@http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/ <p>I suggest <a href="http://www.squadedit.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.squadedit.com</a>, you can collaborate "real time" in 15 languages including HTML among other benefits. It is secure and private, but it is a paid service - only a few bucks a month. There is a free trial period, so you can try before you buy. Hope that helps!! </p> http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/topic/collaborative-editing-html-in-the-cloud#post-1459 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 19:49:10 +0000 tanyaclement 1459@http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/ <p>Ah, nevermind.

As well, my collaborator is even more reticent than I to delve into anything too technical. Anything google-like for less technical folks? </p> http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/topic/collaborative-editing-html-in-the-cloud#post-1457 Tue, 22 Nov 2011 01:49:36 +0000 Wayne Graham 1457@http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/ <p>I'll second Joe's Cloud9 recommendation, but also add that if there's not a need "real-time" collaboration, pushing and merging with git and your desktop editor of choice make collaboration really simple. You may also find that languages like <a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/">Markdown</a> or <a href="http://textile.sitemonks.com/">Textile</a> make this effort easier too. I actually use Markdown a lot to collaboratively build HTML content...even get fancy sometimes and publish with <a href="http://jekyllrb.com/">Jekyll</a> (<a href="http://pages.github.com/">github even will host static HTML content for free</a>). </p> http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/topic/collaborative-editing-html-in-the-cloud#post-1456 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 19:52:29 +0000 Joe Gilbert 1456@http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/ <p>Hi Tanya,</p> <p>There's nothing wrong with using Google Docs, but I'd miss syntax highlighting and other benefits of using a code editor, plus a Google Doc would contain awkward, Word-like aspects such as page breaks.</p> <p><a href="http://cloud9ide.com/">Cloud9</a> is perhaps the best-known web-based collaborative code editor. There are also <a href="http://etherpad.org/public-sites/">lots of spin-offs</a> of the former <a href="http://etherpad.com/">EtherPad service</a>. <a href="http://codr.cc">Codr.cc</a> looks like a nice alternative, too. Note that with most of these services, a free account means your files are publicly accessible. </p> http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/topic/collaborative-editing-html-in-the-cloud#post-1455 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 18:59:05 +0000 tanyaclement 1455@http://digitalhumanities.org/answers/ <p>Do folks have thoughts on the best way to collaborate on editing an HTML doc? I was considering using GoogleDocs but I'd love to know if there are problems with that and/or if there are other applications or environments people like to use. </p>
