The FSF is also working on a similar list.

Hi all,
last week some people created the a FSFE-wiki page about Free Software solutions for remote working. I think it has grown quite cool and gives a good overview. What do you think? Is it good? Is there missing something essential?
Under the Chat/InstantMessaging app IRC is completely missing, while still being the most stable and ubiquitous system for instant messaging ?
This is actually a good point. Since a lot of workplaces have suddenly been forced into thinking about remote working, the media narrative seems to be dominated by technologies like videoconferencing, "feature-rich" real-time chat, and other things that happen to have prominent and opportunistic proprietary vendors looking for new customers.
Yet successful distributed work can take place without these proprietary products. Indeed, some of the currently-hyped solutions are possibly some of the least efficient ways of getting work done, as some people are finding out. Meanwhile, asynchronous communications like e-mail keep getting the job done for many, despite continuing threats from the forces of consolidation and monopolisation towards independent mail (and Web) service providers.
