[Palindrome] Mystery Hunt Collaboration Software Project

[Tim Abbott <tabbott MIT EDU>]

Fellow Hunters,

Many teams put a lot of effort into software for online collaboration 
during the Mystery Hunt.  This results in a lot of inefficiency, since 
every team has its own independent implementation of such software, 
probably involving a wiki, a Google docs/spreadsheets plugin, and/or a 
pile of ugly php code written the day before the start of Mystery Hunt. 
Many people involved in writing such software are enthusiastic about the 
idea of an open-source project developing good collaboration software that 
all teams can use and contribute to.

There will be a meeting in 4-270 from 6-8PM on Saturday, February 2, 2008 
to organize such a project.

We'd like each team that sends representatives to the meeting to demo 
their current collaboration software on the projector, since I think 
that'll be helpful in discussing the design.

If you're interested in this project, you should be sure to blanche 
yourself onto puzzle-software mit edu (or if you don't have an Athena 
account, email me and I'll add you).
