Github for product design
A short time ago, there was a lively discussion here about getting designers to contribute to open source projects:

Yesterday, we saw an example of an independent contributor "mocking up" his ideal notification interface for the iPhone:

Question: Is there a tool that would make it easy for multiple folks to collaboratively design stuff and iterate on a design? Github for product design? Multiple designers suggesting things for one feature, and some way to collaboratively edit stuff, with history on the decision making process?
As a "product guy" myself, I am constantly designing stuff using Balsamiq mockups. I'm eager to use the forthcoming myBalsamiq, which seems to have some group / collaboration features. But I think I am suggesting something far beyond what Balsamiq is working on.
- balsamiq 16y agoHi to both of you. Please email me. myBalsamiq is very much happening (we're in "gamma" right now, which is like a beta but with paying customers). myBalsamiq is free for open-source projects, email me! peldi@balsamiq.com

- petervandijck 16y agoI'm eager for myBalsamiq too. At least, I was in 2009. And in 2010. Now I've kind of given up on it.
