Collaborative HTML Prototyping

I looking for a way of collaborating with a team on producing HTML prototypes.

I'm after something fairly lightweight.

I'd like there to be only a single instance of the prototype (i.e. no
emailing it to eachother).

Anyone got any advice?

Prototyping & GOMS

CogTool, developed by Carnegie Mellon University's HCI Institute, has
a really interesting approach: perform a KLM-GOMS simulation over the
prototype.

Sadly, current version is frustrating to use, to say the least. I hope
they find the support and funding needed to take the project further,
but I won't expect a miracle...

Flash components for rapid prototyping?

Hi all,

Can y'all recommend some free Flash components for UI prototyping purposes?

I'm coming back to Flash after 4 years or so, and hoping that
something has emerged since then. Lately I've been asked to do a lot
of proof-of-concept type stuff for mobile and devices, so I'm looking
for something as generic as possible, to show off the interaction
design and to avoid attracting specific feedback on the graphics. The
default components are ok, but are missing essential stuff like tabbed
views and scroll bars.

Fireworks CS4

I have noticed over twitter two very different takes on Fireworks CS4.

Who has downloaded the beta? Who is trying it out - and what are your
thoughts so far, as it relates to prototyping, etc....just want to take the
twitterstreams and bring it into public discussion.

DaveM: You first...

Wireframe vs. Prototype

A common point of confusion when I've partnered with other
IAs/Interaction Designers/UX Designers, yadda yadda yadda is what a
wireframe is vs. what a prototype is. Everyone seems to have a slightly
different take on them. Here's how I differentiate:

Wireframes - standalone "illustrations" of screens void of graphic
treatment, with indications of functionality and screen flow.
Prototypes - interactive versions of screens with varying levels of
graphic treatment/fidelity.
