Should we create a single space online to keep relevant information that we
find? It could be collaborative research project. Kind of liking writing a
proposal, but in a less formal way. This might be good to keep everyone at
least close to the same page and so that we can all track the progress of
the project as people contribute new ideas and info.
Some sections we could have:
- Vehicles,
- Tools,
- Funding sources/project budget,
- Electrical system ideas, etc.
- Whatever subjects we can break the larger project down into so that
when we have something we know where to put it, and so that the document
doesn't become just a long list of entirely random pieces.
My first thought is Google Docs, but there may be a better platform that
others on this email list know about.
