Hi, Bill,

Ironically, the collaboration software I was referring to, which my board didn’t get on board (sorry for the pun) with, was Samepage. I liked it, as did a few other members of the board. I do think it was the most comprehensible (as well as pretty comprehensive) solution, and that was three or four years ago—it has probably only gotten better. The kind people at Samepage even gave us a free subscription, because we were a small nonprofit.
