So recently I started looking for good software to use for group discussion,
something like a forum. I don't want to rely on an third party provider,
though, so I looked for something decentralized. I found Syndie
https://www.syndie.de/index.htmls and I thought it sounded very nice, so I
I don't know anything about Syndie but AFAIK you need I2P in order to run
Syndie. Did you already successfully install and setup I2P? If not, that
might be the first thing you want to try. Then you can also directly ask
questions on the Syndie forum (http://forum.i2p/viewforum.php?f=29),
Syndie just told me that it's reccomended to run I2P. I don't know if it's a
requirement or not, but if it is, then that would probably be a deal breaker
for me.
(Not that I can't use I2P, but I'd like something that's not as complex.
Dealing with I2P AND how Syndie works seems a bit too
Judging from the chart provided on their website
(https://www.syndie.de/index.html) I would say it needs at least some sort of
anonymizer (like Tor, Freenet or I2P). I2P isn't actually too complex. You
might just want to give it a try.
In the chart, there are also full-line arrows pointing to the same archives.
At the bottom of the chart it says those represent non-anonymous connection,
so I suppose the anonymizers are optional.
If I had to choose, I guess I'd use Tor. I guess I'll just try getting Syndie
to work as-is
Depending on your needs a realtime collaborative editor might be useful, e.g.
gobby. It's available in the repos. (Actually 2 version are!)

Gobby looks nice, but I need something that doesn't require everyone to be
onliene at the same time. I thought about trying out mailing lists, but I
found an extension for MediaWiki that might actually work for me, so I'll see
if we can use that.
