Subject: Request handling protocol.
Here's the protocol for dealing with requests to this meeting (or to
vice-squad, for that matter).
Discuss has a per-transaction boolean "flag" feature; for the purposes
of this meeting, the flag is "false" if the request has not been
claimed, and "true" if it has been claimed.
To choose something to do:
ls -initial -flag_reset
then, pick a transaction number, and do a
swn flag <number>
If it turns out that you can't accomplish it for a temporary reason
(like, the fileservers all just rebooted at 4AM on sunday), do a
swf flag <number>
to return it to the "open list". There.. that's it.
