Summary

Collaborative Content Creation

The daily activities of the Knowledge Futures Group team involve considerable collaborative authoring projects that result in many documents for both internal and external use. We use the open source tool PubPub for nearly all of our content creation needs, including blog posts, documentation, meeting agendas, proposal drafts, and events. We wanted to share how we personally use PubPub daily in the event that the tool might solve content creation and dissemination needs for other organizations and teams. Documents (pubs) can be kept private (team only spaces) or be published. Team members can start from scratch or import from a variety of formats, gather Pubs into Collections, and manage permissions and metadata via a Dashboard.

If you’re considering an alternative to Google docs—one with more granular permissions, versioning, design and branding options, and publishing options as well, please join the session.
