Collaborative office stuff? Do any of you have some sort of collaborative software for your office that is more formal than plain old Google Docs? Or do you use Google Docs professionally? [More:]We are constantly trying to schedule people for projects, work together on lists, etc. but there is so much "okay, you do this half and send it to me, and I'll do that half and send it to you" that it drives me nuts. This would probably just include a word processing thing and a spreadsheet.

Thanks!

Microsoft used to have a product called "Groove". They may have renamed it or folded it into another product, but it's designed for distributed document collaboration like you describe.

We just save documents in source control (Perforce) and send out notices of new revisions. This only works if you're a software group and already have a revision control system in place though.

We use Google docs professionally for non-confidential stuff at the high school I work at. It works and people mostly understand it.

37signals products are a great subscription based solution.
