OSE Collaboration Architecture
General strategy for Collaboration
Specifics for On-Site Development
At Open Source Ecology, we are developing innovative mass collaboration methods. We believe that open
Secondly, such a process must be based on open tools - such that anyone can have access to them and get involved. Open tools involve open hardware and open software – which allows you to “look under the hood” to understand, and then hack, civilization.
We use a set of software tools that are cloud, realtime, collaborative, and embeddable. Cloud means that we can access and work over the internet – the work is hosted remotely and can be accessed through the internet. Realtime means that changes can be seen by all collaborators as soon as they happen. Collaborative on top of that means that multiple people can be collaborating on a document. Realtime collaborative means that multiple people can be working in different locations around the world while seeing the results updated as they happen. Embeddable means that
Etherpad is a cloud, realtime, collaborative solution. Google Docs are an example that has all the features - cloud, realtime, collaborative, embeddable.
For the above reasons, our collaborative platform involves primarily wikis and google docs. To that, we add Google Hangouts as a place to communicate as a group via video. We use Etherpad as a platform where anyone can edit text collaboratively. We use Dozuki as a Master Index. We use the Main Website to communicate Problem statements on each machine being developed.
