Back to my zoom calls and my desk tomorrow!

... taking a break from the project now and then!

Seems someone moderated it. I posted a question asking about launch time importance. It was on my screen after saving it for quite some time. When I came back to the PC and moved to another page, I could never find the post again. It's vanished.

It depends on who is funding it. A bootstrap, sure, exciting but tons of stress too.

This is something we are struggling with also but in a slightly different way. We've tried to work with a couple of authors but each time, they barely understand what we are offering so their posts as not relevant.

I would have to say the difference in bandwidth or problems with the connectivity with some of the members in the conference. When one or more have these problems, the rest of the team end up finding it hard to get in sync and stay in sync.
