Already deleted. I have moved it to a local Wiki. Pardon the header/banner.

Anyone can edit this, of course.
I used to be using Wikis for collaboration on papers (didn't find any
interests from others, to whom Wikis are still an unknown technology). A
more successful 'case study' are my password-protected Wikis, which I have
used for daily correspondence with friends and family for over a year <
http://www.schestowitz.com/Software/Correspondence_Wiki/ >. I made the
hacked version available, in case anyone else is interested in SPAM-free
communication* that resembles IM but is not real-time. There are some blog
items about it, too.
* Communication using RSS feeds is another possibility I once discussed, but
there are too many pitfalls.
