Re: OT: private messaging tool?
Well i know if you sign up for hipchat you can do it for free, not on your server, but it offers some really nice archiving tools, and you can install on your own hardware. we use it at work, and its pretty nice. it will also talk with conventional Jabber clients and protocols in addition to their client and WEB ui.

So newsgroup? or even really old school with UUCP? sorry, low blow :-) you can certainly host a jabber instance pretty easy. or even an IRC server?

Re: OT: private messaging tool?
oh the part of owncloud that i forgot to mention, https://apps.owncloud.com/ they have "apps" that you can use to add functionality past stock. They also have a libreoffice integration that i have yet to try to set up. but it suggests you can integrate directly with libreoffice or stream libreoffice. not sure wich it is.

Re: OT: private messaging tool?
The Google drive simultaneous edit functionality is probably my favorite feature of their services... however. Take a look at owncloud. it is an opensource/php driven relative.

Re: OT: private messaging tool?
After posting the subject question, I found a couple of options, one of which is http://www.quicktopic.com -- not bad, but still not as simple as I would like and not hosted on my own system. So, still looking for better options. --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
OT: private messaging tool?
Is there such a thing as a private message exchange tool that one can install on one's own web host server to allow two (or more) people to write and edit an ongoing stream of notes in the most efficient, least cumbersome manner? Decades ago, I had just such a tool with an old bulletin board system where anyone could login and write a note that would be automatically "logged" and any message that they wrote would be logged with their username, date, time, and text message. Simple, fast, efficient. I've tried to use Google Drive but (to me) it seems slow and cumbersome. PS: Also had a private, simple, and highly efficient "chat" utility that would allow two people to type interactively and save the results to a file or add the entire exchange to the above described bulletin board message board. --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
