Ask HN: What's the best software for communities to co-ordinate?

2 pointsby nnsabout 5 years ago
Hi All,<p>We are organizing a Mutual Aid group for our community to help any elderly or families who have to self-isolate due to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak. We are using WhatsApp to communicate, but I wonder if anyone has any suggestions for how a group of individual volunteers can co-ordinate with each other.

some quick ideas<p>- telegram group (you can pin messages and some other features that whatsapp doesn&#x27;t have)<p>- mumble server with push-to-talk<p>- trello board<p>- etherpad &#x2F; google docs<p>- possibly syncthing (if you&#x27;re dealing with files and don&#x27;t change them too much, be careful with conflicts)
