[gentoo-user] [OT] online collaboration, sharing desktop or separate windows over the net?

2006-04-07 Thread Jimmy Rosen
Hi folks, I'm planning to recruit two masters students for a development project starting summer/autumn. I'm rummaging the web for some nice collaboration tools since I'm planning on trying to recruit from wherever I can find good people, and it will be too expensive to relocate people to my s
