       I’m curious: while working from home for the past nine months or so, have any of you tried out new forms of collaboration beyond (video) meetings, real-time chat and email? Which ones? How’d it go?

       @pb I havent tried out anything that is "new", at least to me, per se.I say "new to me", because I've been working as a freelancer from home for next to 13 years by now.Tools I use and have successfully used in the past include:- Trello (and its clones) - for managing tasks between members of a project- NextCloud / OwnCloud / WebDAV / Google Drive - for sharing and accessing ressources- Git / mercury / bazaar - to avoid overwriting changes of your techno-blind colleagues

       @ginsterbusch How do you communicate with colleagues/clients? Is it still mostly synchronous and/or ephemeral communication (like meetings, chat and email)? I’m amazed at the number of video meetings we have that could just as easily have been written down and archived somewhere for future reference.

       @pb Re: Meetings - I normally do not meet clients in persona. There is no need for that. Things you need to know can be talked over the phone, and in the worst case, one may use desktop sharing to explain stuff even better and in more detail. But normally, mail and a few calls for talking through specific details are quite enough. /6
