A little Collab/Create idea to run up the flagpole
I’m not a computer programmer or anything like that. I tried programming once, it didn’t work. Plus, no jobs out there for a FORTH programmer, so I abandoned that fantasy. Then the Mac came out, so I went back to electronic publishing instead. These days of no job, I’m back on HTML5 and CSS3 and SVG, while defending my creations against the incomprehensible Javascript enemy. Funny how teaching web design basically freezes your knowledge at the point you entered the education business, in my case, 12 years ago.
There’s this thing called GitHub, which the programming people use. I’m not too up on it, but it occurs to me that people are using it willy nilly for all sorts of things not even tangentially related to their daily programming slavery. Shopping lists, to-do lists, etc. It’s a group oriented thing, so it acts as a central suppository for documents and code that requires to be shared and worked on in a way that doesn’t tread on what someone else might also be doing to the same at the same time. It has ways of merging and managing, with version.
It occurs to me that, and it’s probably a highly bad idea (bad as in crap, not as in Michael Jackson (not the beer expert)), that we as app collectors and occasionally artistic creators, might benefit somehow from developing a kind of way of passing collaborative development ideas among ourselves, with the same check-in/check-out safety of versioning.
I don’t mean use GitHub to actually send song data, audio data, sequence files, app data dumps, etc. I mean as a more project management organisational thing, a collaborative creative ‘getting things done’ direction that is decoupled from the specific platforms and apps a group might be using, and just concentrates on the workflow of the getting of the thing done, and handling concurrency clashes and version contention. Or something.
What think you?

You could probably use Office 365 now for that sort of thing. There are some music/DAW collaboration apps like Splice right now for computer-based DAWs.
The issue I see with your idea is the hosting of potentially large amounts of data, which isn't free. To merely break even, one would have to probably have a subscription-type model which would make it less likely to be used.
Ah, no I can’t. I’m not allowed in the vicinity of any microsoft products. Or they’re not allowed near me, I can’t remember. However, the idea is about using GitHub, not how to avoid considering using GitHub and use something else instead.
But no, as stated, we’d not need hosting any “large amounts of data”, only project management, lyrics, things to do, inspiration, arrangements, requirements, bugs, changes, deadlines, planning, etc. Everything but the actual song data [1]. I’d guess most of it could be done in markdown or text only.
[1] The heavy-duty song assets are already no problem as things stand. People are already using cloud storage to do that — e.g., box; or dropbox (if yours is not full); or iCloud (if you’re all ludicrously rich); or a personal NAS.
