The most important thing there currently is the [https://trello.com/b/EyiZYWEa/general-planning General Planning] board, which you should be able to see on that page. The idea behind this is to have a place to write down what we're doing and what we want to do. We say "We should really..." a lot, and often everyone just nods and it gets lost. I think it'd be really cool to try to make a habit to put every single one of those things on this board.

If you're not familiar with GroupMe, it's a group chat system that has both mobile and web clients. The really cool thing about it is it stores the entire history of a chat and makes it visible to anyone who joins at any point, so it's easy to catch up. You can also have it send updates directly to mobile, so you can use it like chat, or mute those entirely and just check in every once in a while. We have used GroupMe really effectively at conventions in the past, and hopefully it'll remain a good way to stay in touch.

There's no signup here, by design; this is just a place we've been using a lot to dump longer-form thoughts, especially for posting to Twitter. It's quick and anonymous and tuned for our own sort of text-sharing, rather than for code like most things of this sort.

Some of these are dedicated to a specific topic of interest to members, often a real-world interest or shared kink. Some are planning spaces for specific events, seasonal or semi-regular.
