: Re: Software for collaborative writing for a small team I'm working on a writing project with a friend, and we're looking for some kind of (preferably cloud-based) project management and version control

I use git for version control, and it's terrific for writing projects.

I've used GitHub to share work in progress while collaborating with a friend. We wrote plain text files in markdown format.

GitHub also has an Issues tracker that can easily be used to assign, accept, and track individual tasks. My friend and I didn't need that to collaborate, but I've used it for some of my open source software projects, and it can easily adapt to a writing project.

There is a small fee to use GitHub for private projects. Perhaps there are other open source hosting sites that offer free private projects or lower fees, and support other version control systems. BitBucket, for example, offers a free account with private projects and support for git and mercurial. I don't know whether they have a built-in issues tracker. You could always use a hosting site for versioning and sharing, and something like PivotalTracker for managing the work.
