Readers/Web/Team/Team norms

This page is intended to document norms adopted by the team.


 * If it didn't happen on the mailing list, then it never really happened.
 * In other words, all decisions or things of substance must find their way onto the team's mailing list. Since we're juggling communication between three+ different teams, and many folks are remote, it's difficult to ensure that changes and decisions are communicated effectively - particularly when requirements/designs/etc change. It is not enough for these things to be communicated and known between two people (even if they appear to be the only two people working on something), as other folks may wind up continuing with the same work, or there may be implications to the changes that are only known to someone else on one of the teams. This is not to say that hallway conversations, IRC, etc are not acceptable venues for discussions and decisions, it's just that I believe we should capture these things and post them to mobile-tech@ to ensure everyone stays in the loop.
 * If you are an engineer and you miss standup, send an email to the team with your answers to the standup questions and any other news you may have to share.
 * We reserve the right to chastise and humiliate you for being tardy or missing standups, particularly repeatedly.
