Vote

- Clearly define each person's responsibilities at the start of a feature.
- Make a note of what each person commits to.
- If a feature is being worked on by multiple people, record in the document who is doing what.
- Think twice before commenting on GH PRs - is it the right forum / would irc or vidyo be better?
- Better wifi for Shane.
