Being a volunteer group, it is in our interest to be have more people being able to do certain tasks. If we are doing a task for this meetup (I hope you don't object to discussing event organization in this list), it is likely that next time when we organize another meetup, we would want to do the same tasks. If we document it, we remove dependencies on a single person, and enable new people to take up the same task. If only the cd burning of wiki source were doumented, Manoj wouldn't be having to struggle and find out everything again for the second edition. I say document any activity that we are likely repeat and another person might be doing it next time.</p>
<p>Documenting processes is important if we want to have a sustainable community. If not only a few people would be able to do certain things and when they are busy they become bottlenecks. When everyone knows what exactly to be done, it becomes easier for new people to volunteer. I don't understand the reluctance to share and document processes.</p>

There are thousands of useful information that can be discussed in this list if I agree with your proposal. It can be printing Tshirts, burning CDs, Food arrangement for the programs.. no end to this. Everything has its own importance to a few people working on it. People subscribe to this mailing list not to learn the logistics of Printing T Shirts.</div>
