Publish a “how-to” manual

This playbook is part historical record, part guide to working together better. Our hope for future iterations is that the guide to working together becomes a living document, and the go to page for tips and tricks. We want it to become a practical guide to doing work better together.

That’s why we’d love to see people share their tools, methods and ideas for how they work together with their slice of the community.

If you have ideas to share, you can do so by adding them to the specially designed sections at the end of every chapter on meta-wiki. In the future we hope to aggregate and build on these suggestions to make the playbook as user friendly as possible.
