2 years ago I would be down to brainstorm on this topic. Some sub-topics to start us off:
- Things we distribute to the public
- Things we work on collaboratively (internally, with clients, with the public)
- Things we make (Artifacts we generate at KFG)
- Internal & External Communications (email, Zoom, text, Discord, etc.)
- Educational materials (workshops, slides, curricula, code snippets, info atlases, etc.) (GitHub code is our current SSoT "hub")
- Internal Work history (this is logged for us in our GitHub issues under the "task" label)
- Brainstorms, mind-maps, & other "sketches" and "streams of consciousness" (this is split between Athens docs, GitHub discussions, Figma/FigJam documents, and Coggle mind-maps)
- Pay history (Venmo is our current financials SSoT)
- Calendar events (Google Calendar is our scheduling/event-coordination SSoT): Our public facing calendar link: Link TBD
- Our First Website: https://knowledgeforgood.us/
- Google Places: Our business is searchable on Google Maps: https://goo.gl/maps/VrkhTjvZYJJvtUGh6
Some of our resources are in Github, still more are in a Discord message channel between @avidrucker and @seekanddefine . Avi expressed a personal preference in keeping all KFG resources in one place. KFG's home right now is Github.
I would like to invite collaborators to brainstorm a knowledge management system within Github. Below are some scenarios to help guide.
Background:
Scenario 1
Two coworkers share links between them using a personal messaging service. Link history is private and only searchable between intended participants in the chat.
Scenario 2
Collaborator finds website they want to share with anyone interested but doesn't have a person in mind
Ex: [https://www.edglossary.org/about/](https://www.edglossary.org/about/)
Thoughts: historically we have added some resources as issues for participants to review on their own time. The problem is that if new collaborators join and the issue is already closed by the other members then how would collaborators know to find it?
Questions: How do companies share knowledge?
What are successful practices for facilitate knowledge sharing with ease and efficiency within remote teams?
