Decisions waiting on Dinis
- Indi's patch (WS-141): apply it? Recommended: yes, first.
- Push access to this repository for Indi's and Vicky's GitHub accounts, so their agents publish their own desks' work instead of offering patches. Recommended: yes.
- The split in brief 4: Indi the editorial side, Vicky the research and programme. Recommended: yes, and ask them.
- The six roles (WS-141), as mapped in brief 4. Recommended: yes.
- The run's schedule (four a day now, every two hours at the summit). Recommended: yes, from Thursday.
- The interviews' first five names, from the team. Recommended: the programme desk proposes ten by Friday; Dinis picks.
Each answer is recorded in Dinis's own words, where and when, on the team's board.
