secure team collaboration software?
(At the risk of taxing the patience of the list ...) Dear AoIRists, While I've sent an inquiry along these lines to a few colleagues with superb expertise in these matters, I thought it might not hurt to also interrogate the wisdom and experience of this particular crowd. One of our thoughts / hopes for the ethics working group is to make use of something like a secure wiki or hypertext / collaborative environment. The idea is to have one or two introductory / summary / overview documents that can then link to modules - overview articles on more specific topics, resource lists, case studies, etc. In the first stage, this needs to be (relatively) secure ("secure" being relative these days) - i.e., with access for the Working Group members who are working on various components. At a second stage, however, the thought is to make it available to the AoIR research community for further refinement, contribution, etc. Ideally, finally, a relatively polished version would then be made available to more or less anyone "out there" looking for resources in internet research ethics. A first thought, of course, is a wiki or wikipedia-like service. But some of you may recall that a very nice wiki established by the earlier ethics working group was hacked and much good work was lost, most unfortunately. So we're looking for a working space at least comparatively less liable to such attacks. Many of us have tinkered with collaboration via Google docs, Slack, and others. But I also know of more than one university, at least in this part of the world, that is insisting on such collaborations taking place within university-based installations of Microsoft Teams, for example. More secure, yes - but not as hyper-texty as we would like, so far as I can tell - and not sure how it would work to invite others outside the university? I could easily be missing something, and if so, please don't hesitate to let me know. And/or: any further suggestions for a really secure collaborative environment, with rich hypermedia functionalities, and the flexibility to move through at least the first two stages of collaboration, i.e., within the Ethics Working Group and then the AoIR community at large?
