> community participation in design, public specification on the wiki,
> public blueprints, bugtracker, open source code... These resources and
> collaboration between members should provide the right tools for each
> team to communicate, collaborate and write code in a distributed manner,
> so I'd encourage to use them for discussion, planning and also
> cross-collaboration between core app teams.

> With this what I'm trying to say is that while we're using the regular

> For those who cannot make it to the meetings, and to all team members,
> I'd encourage you to be proactive in using this mailing list to share
> updates and setting the direction of your app.
