Indeed - and in terms of the semantics of 'communication' - this process
has defined the Team Reports as a method communication - we are already
seeing a number of teams making use of the team reporting process, and
the reports are already proving useful; they provide a singular place to
find monthly updates on what the project as a whole is doing, and this
includes development teams, councils (including the Community Council
and Tech Board), and what I hope to include LoCo Teams too.

As more and more teams contribute to the reports, they will become a
staple part of our community - the specifics of the medium is
irrelevant.
