Wanted to share how I’m trying to use Obsidian within my team, and canvas the forum for any other suggestions. It basically revolves around a few points
A single source of truth
- A syncing solution is needed. We’re cheap, so are using Remotely Save and Dropbox.
- Have to also agree on protocols, like you must save / update before logging off
Promote situational awareness
- Used Dataview and maybe query in the future to auto-generate Summary notes that team members check out under the starred folder when they log on (the default view of last modified note is too messy)
A common taxonomy of mandatory links and tags (while allowing optional tags too)
- Some structure is needed so everyone can rely on it. But the mandatory tags are only of objective things. The team can add their own optional tags for subjective or motile issues.
Differentiated roles
- A fact-finder, Narrator and Info manager
- Makes it clear who does what, and also allows a differentiated plug-in strategy for each role.
Note, we still can’t get away from some shortcomings - like not knowing who has created / modified which note, but I think we can avoid too many of such issues in a small team.
