I'm believing a forum would be best.
Slack! It's the answer to everything!! Seriously, though, there are a lot of things to consider. Is the team co-located? Spread across different offices? Different time zones? Since you mention several organizations, I will assume that they are geographically disperse; in such cases, some form of asynchronous communication is best. Otherwise, people will miss out on things because they are in a different time zone. Email is great for async communication, but hard to use as a reference document. Wikis are accessible, but suffer from bit rot. I prefer to use GitHub, assuming that people have ability to handle the basics of git. You can write docs using ReStructured Text (.rst), and view them on GitHub in their rendered form. For an example, see the style guide for the OpenStack project I work on (Nova): https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/HACKING.rst. After you see that, click the 'Raw' button on the top right to see the original .rst file. One of the nice things is that it is easy to update the doc using pull requests. These can be reviewed and merged as needed. This allows teams to collaborate easily, and helps ensure that a consistent style is used for all docs. You might also consider GitHub Pages (https://pages.github.com/) for a more website-y look. -- Ed Leafe --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/signed text/plain (text body -- kept) application/pgp-signature --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
