  • Handbook
    • You're reading the handbook right now. Yay! This is our Single Source of Truth containing all information of persisting relevance.
    • This is our all's document. Please fix any typo you find, clarify any confusion and update every piece of outdated information. Also don't hesitate to put in new content.
    • Our handbook is a very new piece of our communication strategy, but I hope, it'll be a vital and major part soon.
  • Google Docs & Drive
    • Traditionally Google Docs is a tool that we use very often for collaboratively create document and store file. There are at least two drives I'm aware of and some more random docs.
    • Currently I don't know whether there is a good structure and dare to doubt this. This just documents the current state.
      
    • For the future I assume that a lot of persistent information (e.g. guides) will move into the handbook.
      • For documents or information that are created wrt. specific event, we'll see, whether we keep them in google docs and link them here or move some information into the handbook.
