How to run Sanctuary: Difference between revisions

Line 4: Line 4:
Running Firefly Sanctuary to its full potential is a ton of work. Delegation is key. This section will list tasks that are great candidates for delegation. It's possible to imagine us having a different person assigned to each of these tasks, possibly avoiding the usual situation where a few people end up doing a stressful amount of work! In an ideal world we'll have one person on each of these roles, one person who is "backup" should the first person get busy, and have weekly meetings starting in April where all these folks get together to work on things and share updates.
