With the list of communication tools compiled as part of the proposal: “Evaluate Evaluate Which Communication Tools We Use and How We Use Them”Them, we can identify tools that overlap in features, helping us to decide which tools to keep and which to lose. This could also be a good opportunity to shift away from synchronous and proprietary tools in favor of async and/or open source alternatives, especially since the survey showed that most CC’s prefer open source tools to proprietary ones.
...
Create a Tool Shortlist: Take the list of tools resulting from the “Evaluate Evaluate Which Communication Tools We Use and How We Use Them” Them proposal, and shorten it by eliminating any tools that overlap in features (prioritizing open source over proprietary tools)
