There are several issues:

1) Chat, email , or forum for conversations. It is all way too fragmented and it's getting worse with now stuff found at LinkedIn and Ryver. What next? The pluses or email have been mentioned: Indexing and permanence of email vs the ephemeral nature of "chats". Others?

2) Code repositories. Basically choose here. I am a fan of Git and BitBucket but short of just downloading code when you need an update, the mechanism of push/pull and the "dailies" of Git project management is foreign to some.

3)Wiki's and documentation. The YiPS site is good but needs updating (literally working on that right now). We need a permanent place.

LOVE the idea of an IBM i OSS dashboard. Hate to mention it because someone may run out and we'll end up with three! I was just thinking along those lines. Might be a good conversation to be had there....

opportunities for synergy and that his characterizations are debatable.

Which characterization should we debate first?
