Thanks for your quick response, you've put my mind at ease for a few things.

OK we're not just talking about sharing resources such as media or print images. I'm not thinking just in terms of collaboration, we have that much in our existing tools if not ideally. For instance one tool I want is an event manager, a website which members can propose events inside a team, people in the team will at their discretion join up to fill the roles required and organise the resources required to hold the event. I'm thinking of everything from meetings to installfests, postering to school visits. Each one is modelled differently and requires different resources to manage. I see each event being fundamentally run by a single motivated person with the aid and support of the loco team, obviously events which are discussed and agreed upon are more likely to get all the resources they need but I see no reason to hold our organisation to a centralised model. Not only that but I'd like people to be rewarded for taking part in events, I'd like to see notifications being sent out to make sure different parts get done and I'd like to see the events automatically added to calendars and available on the front page for visitors to see what is going on.
