+               <description>&lt;p&gt;I was surprised today to learn that a friend in academia did not
+know there are easily available web services available for writing
+LaTeX documents as a team.  I thought it was common knowledge, but to
+make sure at least my readers are aware of it, I would like to mention
+these useful services for writing LaTeX documents.  Some of them even
+provide a WYSIWYG editor to ease writing even further.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;There are two commercial services available, &lt;a
+href=&quot;https://sharelatex.com&quot;&gt;ShareLaTeX&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a
+href=&quot;https://overleaf.com&quot;&gt;Overleaf&lt;/a&gt;.  They are very easy to use.
+Just start a new document, select which publisher to write for (ie
+which LaTeX style to use), and start writing.  Note, these two have announced their
+intention to join forces, so soon it will only be one joint service.
+I&#39;ve used both for different documents, and they work just fine.
+While &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/sharelatex/sharelatex&quot;&gt;ShareLaTeX is
+free software&lt;/a&gt;, while the latter is not.  According to &lt;a
+href=&quot;https://www.overleaf.com/help/17-is-overleaf-open-source&quot;&gt;a
+announcement from Overleaf&lt;/a&gt;, they plan to keep the ShareLaTeX code
+base maintained as free software.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+But these two are not the only alternatives.
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://app.fiduswriter.org/&quot;&gt;Fidus Writer&lt;/a&gt; is another free
+software solution with &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/fiduswriter&quot;&gt;the
+source available on github&lt;/a&gt;.  I have not used it myself.  Several
+others can be found on the nice
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://alternativeto.net/software/sharelatex/&quot;&gt;alterntiveTo
+web service&lt;/a&gt;.
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you like Google Docs or Etherpad, but would like to write
+documents in LaTeX, you should check out these services.  You can even
+host your own, if you want to. :)&lt;/p&gt;
