Re: Teams: first draft list

[Blake Shaw]

Hi y'all,

This looks great, thanks for putting in the work!

Im getting back into the Guile + Guix documentation, and realize its a subject the @whereiseveryone and others are also working on, and thus it could probably use a concentrated team of its own. What do others think?

Best,

Blake

Mathieu suggested that we have a team file in guix.git, which would
allow us to eventually write tools like ‘get-tutors.scm’ as Mathieu
calls it.

The web site could fetch that file and present one tile per team on a
page.

Argh, yes.  Maybe this can be addressed later?  Having a list of teams a
name would already help, even if there are no email aliases.

Then perhaps we could automate alias creation with @guix.gnu.org
addresses?  Not sure what it would take…

I think we can start small and build up automation incrementally.

Thanks,
