Teams team idea

OdyX
hard to find new members for a team when already overwhelmed with work

Asheesh
Enrico etc. already working on contacting teams

Debian ruby team
good best practice document, instructions on uploading etc.
-- don't have same things in other teams

team turnover
perl team experience
active members come and go

ganneff
learning curve in teams, hard to take new members
lucas -- can batch new members

jeb -- when should a team have strict membership policy or not?  difference between core team and not?

lucas -- try to get good ideas from teams out into project

have a leader structure for the project
but hard to find who is in charge of a team
senior/junior structure within teams to be clear about structure?
sometimes people are too modest to admit to knowing how things work, or to say that they are the best one to give some advice

jimmy
mentorship important consideration
any advice for a team that just starting off, currently only vaguely defined, free-form?

important to document points of contact, and document where communication really happens (e.g. list vs. irc channel)

security team
kind of core team for private things
wider team for public work
people in bigger team don't really see how core team works

some people on core teams feel alone, close to burning out
