5 open source tools for email, note taking, and documentation
Most collaborative tools these days recognize that not all users have accounts with their company or suite. In other words, if someone sends you a link to share.example.com but you don't have an account with example.com, then you'll likely be offered a chance to sign up.
On the surface, that seems admirably and pragmatically inclusive. You can sign up for an online tool, possibly even using a temporary or "junk" email address and identity, and start collaborating. However, in reality, this brings a third party into what is inherently only a two-party process. The host of the collaboration suite isn't a part of the collaboration; it's a gateway that some people won't want to pass through, especially if the host of the collaboration suite is a particularly large corporation with interests in user profiling and data collection.
