How to do your study projects online

With the prolifilation of Web 2.0 online sites offering all kinds of service, it's becoming possible for students to collarborate on projects online, reducing the need to meet up ever so often.

I am aware that there are paid services that allow you to do that for a small sum of money, but a poor student would have to look for free alternatives.

I worked on a java project in school, and the first thing I did was to look for a online source control tool. i found Assembla (www.assembla.com) which offers Subversion respository and Trac online for free.

With Eclipse (also free) and a plugin called Subclipse(http://subclipse.tigris.org/), I can work on my java project without having to meet.

For documentation, we use Google docs (http://docs.google.com) for our draft documents, and Google Presentation for our slides presentation.
For diagrams like UML, we use a collaboration diagramming tool called Gliffy (http://www.gliffy.com/)

For chatting, we have used MSN, but I am thinking if Meebo (http://wwwl.meebo.com/) might be a good tool also.

For meetings, I used Google Calendar(http://calendar.google.com/) to arrange for meetings.
