This is an analytical problem where we need to define a process. Once the process is defined we decide whether to work manually or program a computer to do the task. The core of this process involves defining a common index key. If you cannot define a common index key the task is impossible.
You may find that one user is more organised than the rest and has a good index key which can be used to index all the publications. Failing that it is up to you to define a universal index key.
Once all documents can be indexed by the same index key the task is feasible.
The choice of software is a secondary issue (cfajohnson please note).
Echoing previous correspondents, please do provide sample data.

TALK(1) General Commands Manual TALK(1)
NAME
talk - talk to another user
SYNOPSIS
talk person [ ttyname ]
DESCRIPTION
Talk is a visual communication program which copies lines from your terminal to that of another user.
If you wish to talk to someone on you own machine, then person is just the person's login name. If you wish to talk to a user on another
host, then person is of the form :
host!user or
host.user or
host:user or
user@host
though host@user is perhaps preferred.
If you want to talk to a user who is logged in more than once, the ttyname argument may be used to indicate the appropriate terminal name.
When first called, it sends the message
Message from TalkDaemon@his_machine...
talk: connection requested by your_name@your_machine.
talk: respond with: talk your_name@your_machine
to the user you wish to talk to. At this point, the recipient of the message should reply by typing
talk your_name@your_machine
It doesn't matter from which machine the recipient replies, as long as his login-name is the same. Once communication is established, the
two parties may type simultaneously, with their output appearing in separate windows. Typing control L will cause the screen to be
reprinted, while your erase, kill, and word kill characters will work in talk as normal. To exit, just type your interrupt character; talk
then moves the cursor to the bottom of the screen and restores the terminal.
Permission to talk may be denied or granted by use of the mesg command. At the outset talking is allowed. Certain commands, in particular
nroff and pr(1) disallow messages in order to prevent messy output.
FILES
/etc/hosts to find the recipient's machine
/var/run/utmp to find the recipient's tty
SEE ALSO
mesg(1), who(1), mail(1), write(1)
BUGS
The version of talk(1) released with 4.3BSD uses a protocol that is incompatible with the protocol used in the version released with
4.2BSD.
