Kasey / Ted conversation
Lots could be changing if we go with DistributedPlanningGame. Kasey and Ted talked 13 Aug 07 about how we can have better communication. One way is for interested people (Kasey, Ted, Mark, Brandon, who else?) to take a look at their own work and see where they could be doing more of it on the wiki, so other people can also participate. This includes staff anywhere, and also active members. Let's give it a try and stay in communication about how it's working. TedErnst 11:57, 13 August 2007 (PDT)
