Hi everybody, I'm new on this list (in fact, it's my first ever list) and am not 100% sure this is the best place to discuss this, so I'll keep it short. I'm thinking of a wiki for people in my field for drafts / notes writing, but I'm not sure if it is practically doable (and I've never developed a wiki before). I work as a researcher in physics and I often need to work on notes or drafts for scientific papers with people in different places around the world. Most physicists / mathematicians write their notes and papers in LaTeX, which needs to be compiled and can be then viewed with a DVI previewer (all this is open source software). I was wondering whether there is, or could be, a wiki for academics, students, and such, in my field which would allow the co-authors of a paper or notes to work on it online, including compiling and previewing, with all the nice features wikis usually have (records of changes, etc). Only the members of the collaboration should have access to the notes / drafts of course, so in this sense it isn't a true, open, wiki. These are the very basics, but I have a much more detailed idea in mind that I'm willing to discuss. If this isn't the place for it, it would be great if you could redirect me to the webpage / list / IRC or the people I should talk to, thanks! Cheers, Federico
