Hi again,
about remote working tools with Free Software, just recently saw
* https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton (web conferencing system for online learning) * https://github.com/codimd/server (Realtime collaborative markdown notes on all platforms.)
Does anybody has experiences with those tools?
Regards, Bernhard

Yes, I'm using CodiMD quite frequently, but don't have a definite opinion on it yet. It is great for its core functions, but I am missing functionalities that would allow long-term management of individual notes. Whether the pros and cons are relevant for you will depend quite a bit on your use case:
+ Works great as collaborative online pad (tested with 4-6 users) + Good support for "extended" MarkDown, so you never need any of the formating buttons + Allows display of only the rendered output, therefore "read only" users never have to see the MarkDown + Basic access control, differentiating owner, registered users and world + Tagging of notes
- No possibility for fine-grained access control, e.g., specific users - User interface beyond the editor is very limited, e.g., no possibility to list all notes owned by the user (this is different from the history which does exist). - Only a rudimentary API
Hope that helps!
Best, Christian

thanks, it helps me, so I believe it will also help others. (Usually I would just send this email to you personally, but in this case I want to encourage others to also help each others.)
Getting credible experience reports from people that know about Free Software is important to me, because most other experience reports lack this angle or look outright like marketing.
