: What would be a good web based open source or low cost learing collaboration tool for high school students? Have about 60 kids that are working on a science projects in two groups. Each group

To get apache/mysql/php running you can just install bitnami WAMPstack bitnami.org/stack/wampstack . It's free like all installers there, and they install with the typical wizzards, great for people new to all these things.

You have there as well stacks for the mentioned Redmine, Drupal, LAMP and you might be interested in Moodle stack (it's for eLearning, great for teachers)

Depending on what you want to do, it can be of use also Gallery, Coppermine gallery, Mediawiki...

Could always do a private www.drupal.org site using LAMP (or WAMP).

I use Redmine which supports uploading of files, forums, wiki and issue tracking. It's great for website/application project management, but I can see it working for your use, too.

It's open source and runs on Linux, Windows and MacOS.

I've used collabtive, it's an open source alternative to basecamp (a web based project collaboration software). It's pretty easy to use and can be self hosted.
