Depends on how it would be used.
If the application would be used as to create a sort of "ad hoc"
collaborative environment, then the decentralized approach is
appropriate.
But if the application would be used to create planned environments,
then a centralized approach is best. The application would be hosted
by an Application Service Provider, which everyone with a big pipe
wants to be nowadays.
