Split Collaboration section
Students often need to do realtime collaboration when working together on a paper. They generally choose one of:
- Office 365 paired with MS OneDrive
- Google Docs
- Overleaf
Obviously Microsoft and Google need to be added to the avoid column. Overleaf seems trustworthy but I've not done any investigation. I did notice that Overleaf content has no delete option, only an "archive" option so it may not be compliant with the GDPR (right to be forgotten).
Split the category
There's a big difference between version control (e.g. gitlab) and realtime collaboration. And for doing realtime collaboration there are cloud services and there is also software which shouldn't get confused. I propose these categories:
- Collaboration (version control)
- Collaboration (realtime cloud services)
- Collaboration (realtime software)
realtime software: Emacs + Rudel and Gobby
Rudel is a tool that enables emacs to handle realtime collaboration on a text document. I've not used it myself but it seems like a good candidate to list under a "Collaboration (realtime software)" category, perhaps along with Gobby which also needs consideration. In fact, considering the ease of use guideline, Gobby is probably a better candidate than emacs w/rudel.
realtime cloud services
Cryptpad could stand alone in this category.. or it could be joined with Overleaf, if Overleaf meets the standards of PRISM-Break.
