It’s really great to get a sense of what people are working on and where they are coming from, so do keep the introductions coming! Also, I really appreciate any help you can in getting people who are working on network-centric resources on this list. If you can point them here: <a href="http://www.fabriders.net/network-centric/" class="">http://www.fabriders.net/network-centric/</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I am starting to think about what sort of collaboration tools would be good for developing our resource as I want to take a stab at developing some content for people to look at and respond to. What I’m particularly need help in is in choosing a platform to develop the written content for the guide. I want something that is open source, has low barriers to allow people to contribute, review and comment on text.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">In the past, I’ve used things like FLOSS Manuals <a href="http://www.flossmanuals.org" class="">http://www.flossmanuals.org</a>, & Booki (now defunct) - and yes, I’m a huge Adam Hyde fan. And I do need something where people will be able to see the whole resource as it’s being developed - such just a one off text editor like etherpad is not going to cut it (unless I’m missing something!)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">But I’m curious as to what people are using now and finding effective. Is anyone having any luck with using GitHub to collaborate on text with a group of individuals that have little to no knowledge of coding?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> More importantly, what would you find useful if I wanted you to contribute to what I’m writing. And are their any collaborative writing tools out there that you absolutely love?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks in advance,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Dirk</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">
