[UCIMC-Tech] [UCIMC-Finance] Box.net -- Google Groups replacement

[Chris Ritzo]

Tech definitely has at least a couple alternatives that would be both
internally controlled and private, as well as leveraging our existing LDAP
authentication and authorization infrastructure.

The wiki (wiki.ucimc.org) is one choice. It's purpose is for groups to work
collaboratively on documents, documentation, etc. The functionality is not
the same as Google Docs, but does provide automatic versioning and
collaborative editing.
