+ <p>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.</p>
+
+<p>There are two commercial services available, <a
+href="https://sharelatex.com">ShareLaTeX</a> and <a
+href="https://overleaf.com">Overleaf</a>. 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've used both for different documents, and they work just fine.
+While <a href="https://github.com/sharelatex/sharelatex">ShareLaTeX is
+free software</a>, while the latter is not. According to <a
+href="https://www.overleaf.com/help/17-is-overleaf-open-source">a
+announcement from Overleaf</a>, they plan to keep the ShareLaTeX code
+base maintained as free software.</p>
+
+But these two are not the only alternatives.
+<a href="https://app.fiduswriter.org/">Fidus Writer</a> is another free
+software solution with <a href="https://github.com/fiduswriter">the
+source available on github</a>. I have not used it myself. Several
+others can be found on the nice
+<a href="https://alternativeto.net/software/sharelatex/">alterntiveTo
+web service</a>.
+
+<p>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. :)</p>
