The STC Carolina chapter newsletter is on a budget, so I rely on the free stuff. Paul, for free stock photos, I highly recommend Stock.xchng (http://www.sxc.hu/).

The entire team is virtual, and worked on a voluntary basis in addition to their day jobs. GoogleDocs served our purpose well but for Phase II of the project I am researching for a solution that gives me: * Web-based data entry (to populate a database) * XML tags in the elements of the database table * Generation of HTML files from XML So though at the moment GoogleDocs is my favourite doc-project tool (when "freeware" is a *very* important criteria), I am looking around. You mentioned version control, data backup, remote access, online collaboration. In addition, I am looking at scalability of database and maintenance overheads. I hope to zero-in on something soon :-) Over the past 6 months, I used the GoogleDocs suite to drive a project that delivered a 1 MB CHM file last week (roughly 700 pages in MS Word).
