Noden distributed information management

TL; DR;

We are tired of all the talking - to do things properly, among the first things we need are good tools and to manage information. I have thought of a way to start that up.

Simple, transparent formats

• If possible, rather than PDF, use an editable format.
• Rather than Word, Excel and Dropbox, use Google Drive.
• If it's something big or serious, use markdown in Github.
• If the conversation is there anyway, use Facebook documents.
• If you don't need a document, just start a thread.
• If not everyone need to participate, just start a conversation.

PS. Obviously don't take this too literally but understand my thought behind it. Also piratepad (like Google Docs meets pastebin) is very useful for real-time collaboration. I too wanted to add that if you're gathering large amounts of information, use a wiki.

Inherently distributed, unathouritive (maturity, focus)

Portable, accessible, collaborative

Flexible, scalable

Powerful, durable (respecting ability)

Tool comparison

Conclusion - A combination of Github, etherpad, pen and paper give the most complete basic set of desired features
