Exactly. I even made a connection with TFNR sitting in the car
yesterday, TFNR is about the same thing - partitioning *code* between us
with both responsibilities and authority assigned.

This Team model is the same idea, but for partitioning *work*. Well,
something like that. :)

Indeed. And hey, I just noticed Ken Causey just beat us to it. I know
Ken's track record in all this and I personally think he would make a
great Team leader.

Hehe, yes. Let me just take notes - keep pouring ideas on what Teams we
want and we will see what we think we can muster and come up with. No
reason to form a gazillion Teams with no members ready to chip in. :)

On the other hand, if a Team leader can't get the man power to do the
job - the Team will be dispersed pretty quick.
