Staying up-to-date

[Lee]

@alberto

one more document to update for Team Coordination… so more workload.

It’s half an hour’s work that saves more than 20 individuals a lot of frowning, being overwhelmed, getting lost and/or getting discouraged, so I tell myself it’s a service to the community with a good ROI.

@alberto

the absence of clarity on the authoritative version. “I did not do it, because it was not on the updates doc”. Is this a valid argument, or is the person supposed to check, say, the previous meeting’s minutes, or the calendar, or whatever else?

The way I see it is that it is still everyone’s responsibility to stay up-to-date. The updates document is just a tool to help with that. I would regret it if we would go formalistic or legalistic on each other though. We are here to help each other and to look for solutions when things went wrong, no?

@Pieter

I’m getting loads of mails from the Reef, so it is a bit daunting to try to follow all of that up when you’re busy.

The updates document should not be an additional burden. On the contrary, it should help everybody to deal with being part of a remote organisation as a time-intensive hobby. For the email notifications you’ll see that Alberto created a manual that should make it easier to tweak your notifications in a way that are most useful to you.
