How to organize collaborations? Managing communication within the team
What is an effective tool for managing the communication within a small team of coauthors working on a paper (when face-to-face interaction is not possible)?
I've previously used back-and-forth email exchanges, but it gets inconvenient very fast if the exchanges are many. I've also used Skype, but I'm not quite convinced by its text-chat environment.
Do you have any other tools (or particular arrangements) that proved to be useful?

I recommend you to use overleaf - maybe in the premium version - which you need to pay for. But even the free version is great.

@user66288 I think that's for LaTeX sharing rather than chatting. Or is there a chat room (associated to each document) that I'm not aware of?

I've used slack for such collaborations, at the time there was little/no support for TeX, but I understand that there are some third party options (I've not tried them).
