In the light of various discussions (both at events and on various email lists), it seemed to make sense to create a specialist space to explore and discuss the use of technology in freeform* games of all types, especially as the 2017 weekend game is going to be heavily dependent on it. So here we'd like to talk about everything from sharing equipment and experience to writing a game using shared cloud storage to actually running a game using smartphone apps or websites and anything else that might come to mind.
There is a separate subforum for the 2017 game (Across the Universe), but users are warned that there may be spoilers for that game in there - although some heavy moderation will be in force, at least until the game is actually run for the first time!
*obviously we could argue about the definition of the word "freeform" in this context. Let's just agree that there isn't a definition and get on with it.

Well that about sums up the purpose.
We will of course be very grateful for any help we get and use in the game and all contributors will be credited when the game runs in Feb 2017.

As he's now got actual Internet at home I'm going to point Gary in the direction of this place, he's still keen to help out with tech and such.

Hello weird world!
Edit: I should probably point out that I am the aforementioned Gary.

I am also here. I think I can at least offer some opinions.

I'd been planning to write up a "Dropbox, source control and other ways to share your freeform writing" handout in time for Peaky. I don't know if I'll get the chance now, but if so I'll certainly solicit comment here.
