[Overview] Collectives brainstorming results
Collectives brainstorming contributor week 2025
- September 2025 in Berlin.
Discussion about current personal usage and annoyances
- Most use it mainly at work, for internal documentation.
- Some use it for personal or political projects, too.
- Most of the times it's a knowledge base, Marketing/Sales also promote it as such.
- Sometimes it's a project management tool.
- Most people agree that generally it's pretty well usable.
- Mobile usability not so good, though.
