So a shared wiki does this.
As does Evernote or OneNote or google Keep.... And each of them have
benefits and limitations.

So the vast number of tools that try to replace scraps of paper is an
amazing collection, and yet we still keep trying to get it more
organized/better etc. There are whole conferences about this very issue of
collaborative information management.

Some people use Trello to track project data. Some people use github wikis.
Some use shared google docs. There are huge collaborative, management tools
with lots and lots of bells and whistles, which are also often complex and
brittle.

And there are very very very simple wiki-like things like
https://tiddlywiki.com/ tiddlywiki.
As people have been asking, you need to know who is writing, who is
reading, and what the constraints on that conversation are trying to make
progress on.

I find it much harder to get people to use a common tool than I do to set
up a tool. so this seems like a sociological problem instead of a software
selection problem.
