Collaboration Architecture - Because WhatsApp Groups are Terrible
Assembly-Event
WhatsApp groups have become the default tool for coordinating anything. Also, WhatsApp groups are terrible. We all have stories. From an architectural point of view, they are terrible because the least configurable platform. There is a 1 and a 0 - you are a member of a group and get every message, or you are not a member and get no message. We used to have tools that worked better. Every forum built on free forum software would work better. The problem is - everyone who hears "we should organise" immediately imagines a WhatsApp group. There is knowledge out there about how to build tools and help people organise through them - but we have no language. I am proposing Collaboration Architecture. What do we think?
