Please help me identify online collaboration tools that might be appropriate for a national (USA) organization of (mostly) state agency staff.
I am communications committee chair for the National States Geographic Information Council (NSGIC). We are an organization of state-level GIS coordinators.

Another option is Basecamp, which is nicely designed and really easy to use. I personally stopped using them because they cost money, but I can assure you it's worth the price.
If you're sharing small files, another good free option is Drop.io. This is a nice option because each project (or "drop") has a free inbound fax number to send documents to, a telephone number to leave voice messages, an email address to send notes and files, document uploading, and (the just-released) real-time chat.
Drop.io is my favorite option right now. I usually just create a new drop for each project and if it stays under 100mb it's free. Plus, the $20 monthly upgrade is a pretty good deal for the additional features you get (branding, 25 drops, 20gb of space, etc).
Also, I've never used them before, but it seems like Vyew offers a nice free collaboration interface too.
