1. Communication tools:
If a couple of people aren't on facebook, that's fine, we could try something else. I might ask a few friends to see what they recommend. I use slack for one group, and also viber for another music group. I see google has something called google groups, but I've never used it.
2. Recording:
For those who don't have access to garageband or software like that, then in terms of Apple products, they can try and find a quiet space and record using quicktime or even voice memos or the app music memos on their phone. Listen to the original Corrs track on headphones and play /sing along. Usually I like to just record listening to the original track with one headphone on/in and listen to myself with my other ear, but others may be different.
3. Providing others with music:
In terms of tin whistle/vocal harmony parts, I can make rough recordings of the parts so others can individually listen if that helps people to learn them. I do have books for FNF and Runaway, so could scan those pages for those who learn to play whistle by reading music. There's no sheet music for Harmony, but I could write out the tin whistle parts.
4. Compiling:
Yes, I'm happy to compile the tracks unless someone else really wants to do it. I don't mind. Luckily, my state library has computers with Logic, Pro Tools and all sorts of software on them. (And a recording studio I can use for four hours a week). I'm more comfortable in Logic than Pro Tools at the moment, and am trying to learn Logic a bit more. I'd get people to drop files into my dropbox folder, or just email them to me if they're small file voice memo recordings or something.
I only have basic mixing skills - eg I'd probably just use Logic's effects on the different instruments, adjust volume of different tracks and pan them, fade in and out of the overall tracks etc. I could do a little bit more than that, but am certainly not a professional mixer or masterer. Mastering sounds like overkill as this is a community project - but if someone else knows how to master, by all means. I don't wish to step on others' toes. And I'm totally open to feedback too.
