Its definitely relevant and an issue. Its not the most ideal way I wanted
to do it, but I'm doing it in my spare time of which I don't have much of.
So I'm using announce to make those announcements. As for making a web page
not everyone knows how to edit wiki-pages, and I'm not familiar with web
developement enough to be able to do it right, Facebook and G+ just aren't
appropriate platforms for this kind of thing (I feel like I'm spamming,
though I know its a process we consensed on). For now this seems the
fairest way I'm able to handle it: A single point that everyone can
read/post with timestamps for who claimed what and when. If you want to
improve the process, absolutely do so! In the interest of fairness to the
sale, I only ask that you keep that point in mind when making your design
to improve this process.
