- Notion
- We’ll be using Notion to organise the project so that we can keep all of the documents, schedule etc. in one place. For the uninitiated, Notion is a highly-flexible collaborative workspace that is like a mashup of Trello, Google Docs, and Git all in one. All changes are tracked (click the clock symbol at the top right of any page) and everything can be exported in markdown format for backup/moving elsewhere (e.g., Github).
- Here’s a quick beginner’s guide to using Notion if you feel you need it
- You can access the MERITS workspace via your web browser, but the best experience is by downloading the Notion app.
- You should already have access via your email address, but if you have any trouble please let @Cooper Smout know.
- The entire MERITS workspace is publicly available via this link
- We'll be using To-do boards to keep track of progress. Please try to use them, even for tasks that you do on the fly, because it will help everyone see what progress has been made (changes to this board are also posted to the #merits channel in Slack).
- Slack
- Realtime communication will be via the #merits channel in Slack (I’m told we will also be using QiqoChat during the sprint, but I’m not sure yet how this fits into the picture!)
- Zoom
- During each 3hr timeslot we will keep this Zoom room open for casual drop in and discussion. Every session will have one 'anchor' assigned (one of the project leads: Cooper, Dawn or Paola) who will be available the whole session to answer questions and point people to the right place.
