Talk:Permanent Collective

From the CouchSurfing Wiki, an informal workspace which anyone can edit.

The possibilities for online collaboration are endless. This Wiki is proof, but other possibilites like Sourceforge, googledocs, chat and plenty of others abound. Could be have a distributed collective? with people meeting together physically in places like Amsterdam, Paris, New York, Montreal, and San Francicso and contributing their work online, using the above mentioned resources to do it? Am I missing the point of a permanent collective? The agenda is advanced on a project/workshop basis and anyone can hold a workshop anywhere with the required number of people and a moderator. Results are then posted and goals are evaluated--Metal.lunchbox 13:28, 25 October 2006 (EDT)

Yeah, I would love to create many ways for free and open collaboration, so that we can have a Global Collective :)

..but some people are still 99,9% against using the Wiki - though unfortunately they're not speaking out very loud. It seems mostly due to the fast recent changes. So, we're heading there, but we can't move too fast. Guaka^TalkCS 13:37, 25 October 2006 (EDT)

I don't want to move too fast either but I think alot of people that would be willing to participate are not able to figure out what is going on. In other words, there isn't enough transparency, so its hard to tell what happens to comments, ideas, and bug reports. a trac -like system would be good for this, especially with bugs--Metal.lunchbox 14:42, 8 November 2006 (EST)
