Team Practices Group/Team Norms

Meeting Hours
TODO ... keep personal calendars updated (where?)

should we have a TPG meeting hours period, when we can expect all TPG people to be available?

Definition of Done
TODO

1) ? Arthur says it's done. OR, submitter or worker has decided whether or not it needs Arthur's approval.  (If the second, maybe that's just part of review SOP, not definition of Done)

2) original submitter agrees it's done

3) if any process documentation is appropriate, that documentation is done and put in the right place (defaulting to mediawiki.org)

Email Conventions
Team Practices Group team members label emails to tpg@wikimedia.org to help recipients prioritize follow-through times:


 * 1) blank (= no tag) is default- sender expects email to be read but it's okay if individual team members do not get to it soon
 * 2) [ACT] the sender is using email as a method to get a result from each TPG members. So more important than blank. These emails often include "follow up" in subj line.
 * 3) [ANYONE] sender needs at least one set of team member eyes on but not every team member
 * 4) [URGENT]- email needs to be read as soon as possible by all team members
 * 5) [FYI] anything that sender is sharing because it might be interesting to the team but where it is also okay if individual team members do not get to it.

Optional Tags

 * 1) [SF] communications for SF-based TPG members (example: announcing Meetups)
 * 2) [LOLZ] sharing project management themed humor
