Ahoy,

I think you're right about not overloading people. I'd still like to see a 
little up-to-date info there, like the latest (nonsensitive) news items and 
events, underneath the general introduction.

Sounds good to me, I think the teams with visible coordinators could help 
address some of the very valid concerns that Sebas raised in his other email.

Great, so slightly more info, and two tasks columns - some nice hand-selected 
completed tasks, perhaps just write-ups to give people an idea of the 
process, and in the second column grab a selection of the current 
(nonsensitive) tasks. Get people enthused - "hmm this sounds like work I 
could do, those completed tasks sound interesting, oh hey I could do some of 
these incomplete tasks, I'll join!"

Great :-) Perhaps some groups could still require approval, so we can have for 
example a private press release team (don't want drafts floating around) and 
a private marketing working group team (sensitive information there)?

Interesting that you'll break the handbook down by team, there will be some 
information relevant to all teams mind you like "developing key messages" 
and "dealing with journalists". Maybe have the handbook be a top level menu 
item, and then in the book the top level items are containers for each team 
and some general information like those topics above. Then each team's 
handbook link goes straight into their book page?


Overall it sounds like it's coming along nicely.

Kind regards,
Tom
