Collanos Workplace is featured in the May issue of "The Writer magazine". Unfortunately, the article “Great Software For Writers That Won’t Cost A Dime -And you don’t have to be a techie to put these applications to work”

It mentions using Collanos for three things:
- a writers group
- collaboration between two or more writers on a project
- synchronizing files between computers such as a desktop and laptop
“What writers groups do in places like Yahoo! Groups can be done in a more organized and secure fashion in Collanos Workplace. A critique group or collaborators can share their files, exchange messages, work together on tasks, and track changes. Even if you don’t have a writers group, you can use Workplace to keep your projects current on more than one computer.
Perhaps best of all, you’re not tied to your desktop. If you use a laptop or dial-up connection, or if you simply want to avoid the barrage of distractions from the Internet, you can work off-line. Any changes that you or others in your group make while you’re writing offline will be updated next time you go online.”
