I have a high regard for Plone, but agree that some development work would be necessary. Albeit probably fairly minor, or not much more than what you’d have to do to standardise your system - given that it’s a collaborative system - in any case.
You could use something like FileMaker Pro, too, of course, but that would be quite expensive and certainly need preliminary development!

Take a look at hackpad.com, too
It is insanely powerful yet easy to handle even for not very techie people. What I like most about it is that it also looks easy, and thus is as little intimidating as I can imagine.
You’ll have to figure out if the functionality is to your liking or if you’d be missing something important.

Prion, thanks for the heads up on Hackpad. As far as I see it is the first time it is mentioned in this group and I find it quite impressive. Probably the most intuitive wiki-like environment that I have seen. It’s not what I am looking for in the context of this particular project (classification fields are essential) but I will definitely be trying it out further.
Dr Andus, Paperpile looks indeed good, but it only works with Chrome. We have a significant diversity in respect to browsers in our project group, and I am quite certain that some of the organisations don’t use Chrome for security reasons.
Bill/MadAboutDana, I’m taking the plunge with a test installation of Plone in order to assess its potential in practice.

Out of curiosity, what are those security concerns?
