Ask HN: Does a self hosted Google Spreadsheet like tool exist for NASA?

from the ask-hn dept.

NASA/JPL's engineering data is heavily regulated and it's not legal to store our data on unapproved (ITAR/EAR) servers. It's 2013 and there's got to be a simple, browser based way for engineers to collaboratively share & work with numbers. Emailing spreadsheets, clunky webpages or complex 3rd party models can't be the only options.

I'm not a huge fan of Sharepoint, but I'm pretty sure you can do some basic at least view of Excel files in Sharepoint. Alternatively, you can share the documents out with a read/write lock.

I'm not aware of any other products that support it. You could try out this Stack Exchange answer: http://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/16072/web-based-o...

From that list, etherpad looks like the most promising open source & self hosted solution. We'll give this a shot soon. Thanks.
