If they are all web based that will take care of the O/S requirement.
The browser preference will be a large obstacle, because we all have
varied opinions.

We were asked to look into a Collaboration Tool that worked across all
OS
and browsers.

I bigger question for me is how accessible is it? I have yet to see a
Microsoft project that was very accessible from a web front end.

Joe,
I remember SharePoint coming up before. I used, to some extent, the
first to versions of it and found it complicated and lacking, however,
I've heard much more positive responses based on the current version.
Two questions that come to my mind with regard to SharePoint that I'd
like to know is:
1.) Does it require Active Directory?
2.) How does it "look" and "work" with non-Microsoft browsers?
Perhaps you could answer those questions?

Sharepoint. It does pretty much everything that was discussed, wikis,
versioning control, document management and collaboration, etc. I'm
boggled why it wasn't discussed, really.

Subject: [MSUNAG] Collaboration Option "D" - Other
This morning at the MSU IT Exchange we were shown three
collaboration tools, vBulletin, SWAP and Angel. During the voting we
were asked which one we'd choose, along with an option "D - Other". As
I remember, there were a number of votes for "D - Other", but when it
was opened up to suggestions there was only one, PHPvB I believe.
This lead me to wonder why "D - Other" was voted so much; was it
because what was seen in the three solutions wasn't liked, because it
was felt there is a better solution but not sure what it is or felt
there is a better solution but were hesitant to mention it during the
session?
Just curious what your thoughts were.
