It's missing DocMGR* ( <a class="user" href="http://wiki.docmgr.org/index.php/DocMGR&quot;&gt;http://wiki.docmgr.org/index.php/DocMGR&lt;/a&gt; ), which is basically a kind of version control for all your other miscellaneous documents. I'm using it in a project to keep my group's LaTeX design document organized, easily update-able, and accessible to the team, as well as storing pertinent research papers, datasheets, etc.Basically, the LaTeX document is split into a master document and various sub-documents. These sub-documents are topic specific and may or may not be split up further, depending on the complexity of what it describes, and each one of these has a folder for its figures (images). A user can lock one of these small files and update that section while allowing another user to update another file. When a user wants to see the document as it currently stands, they just click the zip icon for the folder containing the document, download everything as it currently stands, and then compile it with Kile (Linux users) or Texmaker (Windows users).No bizarre document merging formatting screw-ups like in Word or OO.org Writer, no time-consuming editing if the formatting is going to be changed, and a log is kept of who edited what when, and what was the document like before the edit.*I have no affiliation with the DocMGR team, not even code contributions, unfortunately. (I don't know PHP, only Perl in the web languages dept.)
