Collaborating on documents over email feels like a hack. I definitely don’t share your experience but that seems like something which belongs on a wiki or at least in a git repo.
- HPsquared 6y agoThe point is to keep things as lightweight and transferrable as possible. I can send an HTML-formatted email to someone, and they can see it right away. Also, an email chain on a topic shows the development of the discussion over time. I'm in consulting so when dealing with clients there is a need to keep things lightweight. Email is more of a 'record' than a 'document' - these are different things. Wiki and Git repos are more for building up a permanent body of work which will be referred to and built on (i.e. documents), rather than transitory discissions and a log of daily events (i.e. records).
