Description
There are several crews and squads in the pirate party using software tools to fit their needs. Taking initiative is always a good thing and we should encourage this! We should also understand that these people often want to go forward with their project, without having to think to much about the tools they use beyond their practical value. This often leads to the use of non-libre tools and/or tools hosted by companies who's values are at odds with values we have as pirates. This project is meant to identify what functionality several crews and squads need, list them, find alternatives, get feedback, refine..., and eventually implement/host/link to... these tools so that they are easy to find and use for everyone inside the pirate party.
Inspired by the chatons.org project where people host libre software for others to use, this project is called Pirate Kittens.

Roadmap
Make Wiki-page to keep track of what we do in a structured wayMake a list of crews, squads... and ways to contact themContact them asking for the tools and functionalities they need/use. Practical examples where they use the tools could also help us further down the line.- Structure the feedback to get a good insight of what's missing.
- Find alternatives and propose them.
- Take feedback, if NOK: goto 4.
- Find a good way to host what's needed. Make sure there is an easy way for people who need to use the tools to find these tools.
- Get feedback, if NOK: goto 4.
