@semioticrobotic anything you need from me? You want me to merge? |

Tomorrow I'll read in more detail and perhaps offer some editorial feedback, comments, suggested revisions, etc., in case there's anything we might polish or elaborate. In the meantime, if you want to add your bio to More soon! |

| All humans on the team work together, even though they are physically apart from each other. This is not a collection of individuals who each do solo heads-down work from different locations. Instead, this is a group of humans who coordinate their work with others on their physically distributed team. Because everyone on the physically distributed team is "remote" from someone, it is clear that everyone on the team has equal responsibility to communicate and coordinate their work with coworkers – regardless of whether any individual human is working from a building with the company logo on the door, from home, from a coworking space, a hotel or a parked car! Example usage: “I work on a distributed team”, “my team is distributed”. | ||

This is a placeholder for us to revisit when the chapter is complete. It's a reminder to add a brief "preview" of the chapter, an overview for readers, but that's not possible until we have a clear sense of the entire scope of the thing.

Placeholder for potential material: Why is this distinction important to both you, the author, and to your intended readers? This would be a nice place to answer that question.

Just to clarify: Are we talking about the U.S. here? How generalizable to other contexts (if at all) are your statistics and arguments?

Placeholder for additional material: Can you offer any kind of summarizing thought/perspective for this section, something that bridges to where you'd like readers to follow you next? As it stands, the section just sort of ends abruptly with a string of statistics. What should we make of them? What do they suggest viz. distributed government?

Thanks, @lukefretwell! Really neat stuff. I added inline comments and some requests for clarification. You should be able to act on everything directly in the file on this branch, using the |

Checking back in, @lukefretwell, to see if you've had a chance to review proposed changes and think about some of the opportunities for elaboration that I indicated. Okay if not, of course. Just checking! |

I've just finished reviewing all comments in #33 and #34. All are merged into an offline doc that I am working on with @lukefretwell . As best as I can tell, #34 is now obsolete and can be ignored. If there are further comments, lets track them in #33. (I note I saw a change to contents.md that I am happy to ignore for now - we will need something in contents.md later, once we have the chapter written and updated title ready). |

Closing this without merging, at request of @lukefretwell and @joduinn, who are working on a fresh revision (see #33). |
Incorporate new chapter on distributed government from @lukefretwell, and update contributor bio and table of contents files respectively
