Show Survival Kit

Maribeth:
i did something similar for a show last year- one of the downsides is a file that large can be problematic to load on a slower computer. (i had a file with a backstage runlist, preshow/postshow checklist for each crew member, quick change plot, etc each on different tabs).

for a show with a larger SM team, you could use the 'track changes' feature, and leave the file on a shared computer drive. or pass a thumbdrive back and forth.

MatthewShiner:
Our teams (4+) tend to work on documents on the same time, so I don't think this would work on a large team, but I think it's great for solo SM projects.

acemetallic:
At my university we have a Theater Staff server that everyone can access and update. That's where we keep all the forms, plus examples of reports and such for new SMs.

RenMan:
The Google Apps for business shows promise.

Allows -- internal website only those chosen to view it can access
joint real time editing -- both docs and spreadsheet
calendar all can see

considering using it in the theatre and journalism classes I teach.

(ed version free, business version has fee for the most advanced features)

How do you handle multiple users of the same document????

I'd suggest creating a communal GoogleDocs account. That's been a lifesaver for my theater. Everyone on the production team has the username and password and can upload basic Doc/Excel files, access the calendar, contact info, etc. and edit it. Works very well.
