Software solution to create school magazine which allows multiple users same time
Posted on 2013-01-04
Hi,
We are creating school magazine and we need a software solution which can allow multiple users to work on the same file same time. We don't want to work on Microsoft Word so Sharepoint seems not helping in this situation.
End of the year we wanna export completed project and send for printing.
Is there any software, whihc can operate in LAN?

You will want to use InCopy http://www.adobe.com/produ
The key is with multiple people is using InCopy for writing. However, for page layout, you will only want one person accessing the file at a time.
personally, I think Adobe products are overpriced. Fortunately they have educational pricing you probably will be able to get.
What might be interesting is using https://github.com/. It is meant for programmers to collaborate code. But maybe could work for writing articles.

Working on the same page is just not a good idea
How about this,
get every one who will be involved sit around a table or over internet chat lan,
and discuss ideas for layout designs colours and how the magazine will be presented.
Subjects the Magazine headers / chapters etc,
the software tools required / images to be used stories to be used
then when you have that choose who will do what.
If the magazine has 10 pages, set everyone a specific page to do for that particular topic
And then put it all together
Have a toolbox meeting everyday to input your work and critique it.
What software do you have now?
Once the ideas are established you'd need decide on the end product will it be glossy paper or just a one page spread? or a book type, as you have not mentioned this
you need a template to start off for each page,
watch a quick slide

Hi Merete,
Since years we already creating school magazine with publisher. (160 pages/800 copy). Our problem is not the how to edit the photos or designing etc. We just want to work on same document. Last time we worked with fusionyearbooks and found it very usefull but very limited features. Basically we were able to assign certain pages to the different users so everyone was working on their assigned pages only. Now we wanna chieve same thing in our network environment as fusionyearbook was soooo sloowww adn limited.

Hi teomcam, I hear what your saying
Probably in the area of Ipads
Ideas?
Using the Logmein.com technology works well.
Probably the best , use a phone as well so you speak to each other fight over the mouse lol.
Then the other user logs into your desktop and works with you on your desktop using the same mouse and keyboard sees what you see, that's real team effort.
LogMeIn what it looks like
Another example
For iPad

Working on same document does not mean jumping into the document all together. Log me in a remote connection method like teamviewer and it has nothing to do with the solution.
