[Corpora-List] lexicography software

[Marcin Miłkowski]

Dear Piotr, and other users,

do you know of any web-based system that would be at least as powerful 
as LexiquePro? I hope it would help multiple linguists to work on the 
same dictionary at the same time without syncing problems.

Thanks for any pointers,
Marcin
