  • XO map
  • Pecan Rolls and Teams
    • Install Team
      • Instructions on getting the emulator installed
      • A core team of people that help others to install the emulator
        • IRC Channel, Private chat on AIM, whatever it takes.
    • Facilitators
      • Direct volunteers toward projects they might be interested in by making themselves available for private chat or in a group chat. Someone comes in and says, hey I want to help, these are my skills. A director can help direct them where to go.
      • Facilitators are most likely people who just lurk all the time on IRC or something along those lines.
    • Candy Stripers
      • coating community members and their computers in fine layers of Sugar... until the emulators are really good.
      • helping launch locos
  • Todo
    • Todo list should have difficulty levels, like the art of computer programming. E.g., If you know Python then a problem is a:
      • 10 if you could do debug/fix/add feature in a couple minutes,
      • 17 if you could do it in one sitting, but it may take a few hour,
      • 20, means you could do it in a few days
      • 29, means you could do it in a couple weeks with a lot of creativity.
      • 30, maybe a couple weeks to a couple of months, but it's hard.
      • 34, maybe a couple of months with a lot of creativity and innovation
      • 40, Maybe a couple of years
      • 50, you may be lucky to knock the problem into the 40s in a couple years.
      • 51, first find a new base and reduce to a previous problem
    • Todo list should indicate the urgency of the item for the project.
    • ... and the necessity of the item to the project.
