Web Workers toolkit, is it enough?

by Tris Hussey on January 16th, 2007

Another good post from WebWorkerDaily.  They list the core tools for distance collaboration.

• Email
• Phone
• Text chat
• VOIP
• Web Conferencing
• Document collaboration
• Group online document sharing
• Wiki
• Shared calendars
• Message forums
• video chat

No doubt that these are extremely important.  I use all of them, except for wikis.  No doubt as well that video and web conferencing has made use strides since I first tried them in 2000.  I think there should be some other things that are important.  I think there is a mental toolkit you need.  You need independence, mental toughness, a get-it-done (even in you PJs) attitude.  You also have to take risks.  Big risks.

How about you?
