Collectives brainstorming contributor week 2025

  1. 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.

Post-Its with votes

Sorted by vote count. (Some items received a lower vote count because some people had to leave early.)

  • [ ] 6 Layouts: Columns on a page, drag and drop content, display sub-pages as cards.
  • [ ] 6 Improve integration with other apps (Tasks/Deck/Calendar/Files) e.g. via widgets, so uploading a file, creating a task etc. can be done from Collectives (currently one has to switch to the other app, which takes you out of the context).
