I may regret asking this, but what the heck :-).
I’d like to know what group collaboration services are used in DoD-related software-related work to help groups get specific work done. By “service” I mean “has a website”. “Specific work” could include open source software development for the DoD. Software development usually involves working in groups, so I’m sure there’s a lot of generic groupware in use.
I ask because it’s way easier to let someone else run a service, and I recently learned about a service that I should have learned about… but somehow never heard about it. I suspect there are some awesome options I’m not even aware of.
Some outside-DoD services I can think of offhand include:
GitHub (runs GitHub Enterprise, basically)
SourceForge (runs Allura)
Google: Google Docs, Google Groups, Google Drive
Chat: Slack, IRC
StackOverflow
BaseCamp
GovLoop, https://www.govloop.com/
IaaS and PaaS cloud services can make it easier to deploy specialized things, e.g., Amazon’s AWS, Heroku, etc… but let’s exclude those for my question.
For many cases you can’t put DoD-related data “out there” – which drives you to do something else. But what are the “something else”s? That might include someone who’s already re-installed some outside service’s software on some approved system. Some within the government or DoD include:
DISA enterprise services http://www.disa.mil/Enterprise-Services - including:
- DoD Enterprise Email (DEE)
- DoD Enterprise Portal Service (DEPS)
- Defense Collaboration Services (DCS) – small group audio/video conferencing, replaced DCO
- Forge.mil (not interested in a flamewar about it, thanks)
- Organizational Messaging Service
- Strategic Knowledge Integration Web (SKIWeb)
- Secure File Gateway (SFG) Relay Service
- Automated Time, Attendance, and Production System (ATAAPS)
- Enterprise Search
- Enterprise File Share
Sharepoint (there are many individual sites)
DI2E - https://devtools.di2e.net/ - includes JIRA, Stash for git, Jenkins, etc.
Intelink – includes Intellipedia
MilSuite – including Milbook (Facebook-like)
I’m sure that’s a hideously incomplete list. However, a totally complete list would be absurdly long. I did find this page about non-government sources that was interesting but longer than I was looking for: http://steveblank.com/tools-and-blogs-for-entrepreneurs/
So: What especially-common or especially-useful ones aren’t listed (that can be identified on an open line!), particularly ones that can be easily used to DoD tasks? I’m especially looking to identify ones I *don’t* know about, but should.
