I looked into Secure Scuttlebutt community, and while I didn't muster up the courage to really participate, I kinda like that they take dogfooding seriously.
Their protocol started as a secure peer-to-peer log-store, with first application as a white-list based social-network [1]
The more interesting part is a git plugin that allows to store repositories in the distributed log as well. This is complete with a nice web-UI and some rudimentary issue management [2]
If you had right group of people, you could use this on a local-network, with no internet access, and you'd have reasonably nice environment for chatting and collaborating :-) In practice you'd want to be on the internet and connected to at least one scuttlebut pub to actually see other people, unless you really organized some sort of offline-cabin-retreat-hackathon :-)
