Online Collaboration Managers

Has anyone here used an online collaboration manager like BaseCamp or BackPack? BackPack used to be free, but now it is a monthly charge.

I'm looking for an easy to use interface for my wife to use to organize her family's vacation this summer (there are 6 siblings, with multiple next generation). Schedules, outings, meals, etc. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Why not use Yahoo or Gmail calendar sharing?

Gmail with google docs might be the answer.

Have you see the new Form input capability on spreadsheets? VERY cool.

I have not seen the form input. I use Google docs in other ways (including spreadsheets) but have not had time to explore that yet.

Is it possible to use Google docs without having a Gmail account?

How can I see the back end of this? It looks very nice, and could be a good thing to incorporate into our webpage for signups, VBS, etc.

We use BaseCamp at work, though I am not one of the guys who uses it. It seems to be one of the services out analysts can't live without.

If you're laying out ideas and collectively brainstorming, there is NO better tool than a MindMap and Online Mind Mapping - MindMeister is a great online MindMap product.

Honestly, I don't eat lunch without MindMapping it first.
