Subject: [Callweaver-announce] Roles and Tasks for the CallWeaver project
Message-ID: <46410561.8070308@spaceball.cjb.net>

Hi everyone,

After some discussions on irc, most of us like to get organized, so
this is what we have come up with.

The basic idea of "roles & tasks" is to get organized.  This is a step
towards starting a foundation and being recognized by the industry, the
beginning of an effort to loose the image of being a bunch of loosely
connected people.

By defining "roles & tasks" and filling the positions we can see what areas
we need more help in and ask publicly for additional assistance. If you
can help in anyway please let us know.

With each "roles & tasks" there will also be rights/access given to the
individual. There should be at least 3 persons doing the same role, each in
a disparate time zone where possible.
