Re: Collaboration Tools

I think you just proved that threading is a must :-)
+1 A consistent approach among projects would be great. I think it is difficult though to use a new startup’s tool because they are still chasing a business model. What features will still be present and/or advancing and which go by the wayside. For a project started in 2004, I found it very useful at times to have the history of the project and sample images that were used still available. It is a significant nuisance when past e-mail/posts point to dead links because of a change in the collaboration tool. This is true as well in SMPTE’s Kavi (higher logic) where reorganizations have wiped clean previous threads. Although working in the moment on current topics is important for collaboration, I would also suggest the benefits of long-term learning from past decisions can be useful. Especially in software projects where it seems that every decade or so, there is a significant throwing out of previous efforts sometimes ignoring the benefits of tested and working codes.
