Lately I have found a great way to do collaboration on-line with Ancestry. Though I am not sure how it appears to non-subscribers I have had a lot more success with it than using their messaging system.
This new feature is the COMMENT button. You can comment on photos or actual individuals in the tree. I have found most success adding comments to photographs which a lot of people have saved to their private trees.
Typing in a comment on a photo will send messages to all of the people with that photo in their tree. I use it to make connections and hopefully collaborate more. Also, when someone has incorrect information in their tree, or if the information is different from what I have, I can comment and get better response and much more immediate than waiting months to hear back from an email.
Try it out. I generally still try and get people on board at Wikitree, but at least this tool helps over at Ancestry for those not inclined to try out the Wiki.
