This. Everytime I'm thrashig out a design with other developers on Skype I wish we were using something mixing wiki and chat.

  Google Docs has chat on the side and version history, along with live editing. What is it missing that you'd want?

    It does lack connections between documents like a wiki. While you can do hyperlinks, it does not feel connected. Also, can you structure documents into find hierarchy or tagging system? Finally, no self hosting.

      Better browsing across Google Docs documents would make it the killer software. - It probably requires a left sidebar with a tree of the project’s documents, - And perhaps a notion of document hierarchy, child pages or something to better browse. Aside from those, which aren’t technology challenging, it would make my startup switch to GApps.

      > While you can do hyperlinks, it does not feel connected. Not sure what "feel connected" means. In both systems, you click a link and it takes you to the document in question. The only difference is that wiki links are shorter... > Also, can you structure documents into find hierarchy or tagging system? The hierarchy is just the file system, which only allows files to be in a single directory at a time. > Finally, no self hosting. OwnCloud with certain extensions probably does everything you want, e.g. https://owncloud.com/collabora/collaborative-editing/ https://owncloud.com/collabora/collaborative-editing/

  Confluence has a chat plugin. https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/confluence.chat/server/overview https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/confluence.chat/se...

  Quip is a pretty interesting take on this.
