A wiki is…

Convenient

• No need to search through the Drive

Exhaustive

• Evaluations and budgets are just part of the truth

• The devil is in the details

Alive

• Unlike static documents, it won’t get outdated

• Future boardies will update it (hopefully)



How?


Everything that is red should become blue.

We’re missing at least 96 pages.
