Best tools for remote collaboration?
5 points by hyung 5193 days ago
Our office is going to start having remote employees (all around the world), and I was wondering if anyone knew of any good remote collaboration tools?

Here's what I've found so far:

- Always-on Skype video chat, using dedicated Mac Minis

- DicoLab, multiple mice on a single computer, works remotely

- Dropbox, Google Docs, Basecamp, Trello, VNC

What other tools might help with realtime remote collaboration?

How about tmux (http://tmux.sourceforge.net/) for remote pair programming?
I actually wrote a script called wemux (https://github.com/zolrath/wemux) specifically to enhance tmux remote pair programming. Adds user/server listing, a concept of host/client, attach/detach messages and more.
