Remote collaboration on documents

JMF James Mead (Go Free Range) Public Seen by 539

It's not a big deal, but I thought it was worthwhile pointing out a minor flaw in the process we've been using to collaborate on approving the manifesto, etc. When people agree to that proposal, they are presumably agreeing the copy they see on the wiki at that point in time. However, given that people are free to change that copy, it may not be safe to assume they agree with the final version.

Given that we might want to continue to evolve these and other documents, it might be worth coming up with a better way to collaborate remotely on stuff like this. What do people think?

Happy to help with any peer assists for those wanting to get the hang of the basics of Git.

However, you probably just need to:

  1. Broadly understand what Git is and how it works (use GitHub guides / YouTube videos / Wikipedia)
  2. Use the desktop apps (Mac/Windows)
  3. Refer to the following if using the command line: http://ibrokegit.com

I'm not using GitHub in an advanced way, but once you get your keys set up and understand the concept, it's pretty straightforward..

I opened this ticket on GitHub to follow up how to implement versioning of pages like the manifesto.
