[OpenAFS] Improving collaboration

[Ted Anderson]

I scanned DMOZ Computers > Software > Groupware > Open Source[1] and saw
lots of stuff that might be relevant but nothing that really stuck out
as something better than Wiki.  Clearly, it would be a big job to
research all the possibilities.  For what it is worth, there are really
a lot of Wiki sites[4], and software implementations out there.  To the
extent that people are "voting with their feet", this seems to be a good
sign.

I found[5] that SeedWiki[2] allows you to start a Wiki of your own.  It
is free for non-commercial use.  This might be a good way to try out an
AFS Wiki as a pilot, to see if it is a useful tool.

My plan for jump-starting a collaborative system is to enter the OpenAFS
projects[3] list.  It seems that this could benefit from more current
status, discussion of strategies, various input to help with
prioritization and generally more interaction.  The FAQ would be another
good candidate.
