Thanks all, inspired by Mal I've set up a Wordpress blog for now. I'll see how that goes.

P.S. Setting up a Wordpress blog really does take just a few minutes

There's a free one here with plenty of add-ons as required.

I agree. Good old PHPBB is pretty easy and works well enough too.

Sounds more like a wiki kind of thing.

Collaboration - Ideas/Suggestions?

Any ideas on what might be a decent way of setting something up so that a small group of about a dozen people could collaborate with ideas/suggestions/comments/questions.

The purpose is to allow a group of event organisers to avoid having meeting after meeting to organise their event. For example, someone might post their proposal and invite comments and suggestions.

I wondered if a blog might do the trick - anyone used a blog for this or similar purpose? It'd need to be kept private (authorised users only).

Or perhaps an off-the-shelf forum package.

Wordpress seems an obvious choice for a blog. How easy is this to setup?

The main requirement for this system, whatever it is, would be to browser accessible as the users do not sit on the same LAN. And free. So something like Lotus Notes team-rooms wouldn't be suitable.

Your ideas/suggestions/comments/questions welcome !
