Collective sense-making happens in the discussion around creating a communal artifact. If we want to have or build #toolsforthought that make collective sense-making easier, faster, better, we need to tie these together.
Collective sense-making happens in the comments of GoogleDocs or over coffee. Having access to atomic thoughts of others is *super* valuable, but it's in the *collective synthesis* that we actually crystalize common understanding.
Of course, you can also understand collective sense-making as an emergent process resulting from better information for the individual and better ways to integrate that information individually.
In the end, it's prob a spectrum and we'll see where the tools position themselves.

Think about the adversarial collaborations at SlateStarCodex. That's collective sense-making (at collective = 2) and the sense-making happened *before publication*. Being able to pull from the published piece and have it updated if something changed would be huge! But
that would not be the same as the collective sense-making that occurred in generating the published piece.
