Scott: Barrett, you there? me: yep Scott: I "think" that thing is merely a discussion forum for people while viewing the document. me: okay, so messages won't remain on there permanently? Scott: After I exited and re-entered, our conversation was gone. me: I see me: well, guess we can't use that, then me: but as I mentioned, Clark and his friend are going to figure out a more organized way by which to utilize these docs me: which we definitely need me: if you have any ideas, coordinate with him on it Scott: I plan on it. Scott: So far my suggestion is to create an increasing number of Docs. me: I'll keep thinking about it, too me: That might work me: maybe divide them into To Do list, notes, etc. Scott: I'll talk to Clark, but it would be cool if we could have like a table of contents with links and clicking the link opens the respective document. me: Ah Scott: Yes, this way those that are more interested in one over the other will be less inconvenienced. me: I use something similar on my laptop with Tomboy Notes Scott: never heard of it me: you know me: a wiki would allow for that Scott: Can we do something like that? me: not sure if it would be worth it to use one me: but might be worth it me: Let me figure that out me: another thing to consider me: is creating a subreddit me: for Project PM me: and then additional subreddits for additional projects Scott: I know you mentioned earlier you were considering that. me: yeah, let me think it over a bit, in the meantime you should talk to Clark as the two of you will probably end up working closely on several things Scott: Just out of curiosity, do you want to keep initial Project PM discussions, such as the current Google doc, less public? me: Actually, not necessarily, I was even thinking of putting up a few articles on True/Slant showing what's going on and how we're proceeding me: part of our intent is to really demonstrate that these general approaches to things work Scott: I think that's a great idea. me: and the process might be useful or interesting to others Scott: Process I think is the imperative word, as our success is so far limited. me: As for our working collaboration, it would be nice to have it all in one place, whether reddit or a wiki or Google Docs me: well, we've only been working on this particular project very briefly Scott: My guess is you know more about websites that I do. Scott: Would it be possible to have editable documents on a website using the Tomboy interface you mentioned? me: we've been successful so far overall in building up a pretty capable collection of contributors and getting some things decided me: let's see me: the Tomboy thing is just a linux application, not really meant for collaboration me: It's very similar to those old sticky notes programs me: that work like post-it notes for your desktop me: Let me ask around on that Scott: Got it. Sorry, I'm technology-tolerant, but I haven't kept up with the times. Scott: I plan on calling Clark some time this week to introduce myself and get the ball rolling in a few things. me: you should do that me: I'll introduce the both of you to a couple other new contributors as well who I think are particularly promising Scott: sounds good Scott: I have to go. Have a good night. me: you too
