(2014-04-18) Brooks Project Collaborationware

Ben Brooks ponders what he wants in Project Collaboration Ware, triggered by his current experience with GlassBoard, Quip, SlackCom, and BaseCamp.

• Group Discussion topic Hierarchal Structure, so some threads can be general, and others specific. But then easily cross-referencable, Associative.

• Commenting on files and images is crucial... I should be able to upload a mockup, and each person responding should be able to comment on that, and upload iterations of that mockup all on the same ‘thread’.

• Collaborative Writing

• Private Messaging (not tied to a personal Instant Messaging app)

• smart Notification/update feed

• personal collections/folders of items (threads, tickets, pages) in the system

• good archiving (hiding)

• be able to turn a thread into a task (Issue Tracker)
