title: Difference between organisation member and outside collaborator in github
body: <p>The <a href="https://help.github.com/categories/setting-up-and-managing-organizations-and-teams/" rel="noreferrer">github docs</a> are a bit unclear about the semantic difference between organisation member and outside collaborator. What is the distinction?</p>
  
  <p>I run an github organisation for my school. I create repos and allocate them to students. Should the students be members of the org or outside collaborators? </p>
