[microsound] online platforms for sound sharing and work collaboration

hey list-

i've been spending a few days (weeks?) looking for an example of 
something, most likely in the form of a website, that provides users a 
platform to share sounds and field recording, while also providing some 
kind of software or interface to work collaboratively on a project, 
perhaps in real-time. does something like this exist? or does anything 
come close? all i've really been exposed to is freesound.org, which 
operates more like a sound archive and repository, with a comment, 
rating system and active forum that touch on these topics...

are there similar sites that i might be overlooking? any insight on 
this, and maybe a discussion on what this might look like would be 
helpful. i'm imaging something in the browser that allows people to 
insert sound files, gives them basic editing capabilities, and the 
ability to publish and share their works/works-in-progress.

i think this might be most appealing to the field recording/sound art 
community, but if there are any other groups that might see some benefit 
in this platform existing i'd love input.

thanks for any help on this! its been milling around in my head for 
awhile and i wanted to see what others had to say.

all the best.
