I'm unsure why the email needs to be restricted to Nattie and me, or even
just Nattie, or just one person in general. Personally, I think there's
something to be said about too many cooks in the kitchen, and such, and as I
said, we do need a particular point person for press to be able to contact
with inquiries, but I don't really think it's necessary to *restrict* access
for modifying from others on the team. The nice thing about having several
hands in the pot (one of the few nice things), is that someone can take over
in the event of a busy week/family emergency/case of burn-out, etc.
IN other words, I'm not terribly comfortable with access being restricted to
just two (or three) people. I think anyone on the team should have access
unless they prove themselves to be abusive of that access.
Nattie and I were just throwing out some times that we'd like to get
together on IRC to hash some things out. Being in a timezone 8 hours off
from each other makes matters interesting - so, we're aiming for Sunday
afternoon/evening (British time), which would naturally be morning for me
(PST). I understand that not a lot of people like to give up their weekends
to the computer (Ok, that's not true - consider who I live with.), but it'd
be nice if everyone on the team could be available at some point during the
weeks to get together and brain dump what's going on.
Peace and Love!
Patty
