Any process that relies on the team leader to "assign" tasks or
"update" a blog or list is going to run into the "single point of
failure" problem. However, I've no doubt that others can make this
info available in ways similar to what we've been doing, so those are
details we could find solutions for.

I will point out that in most cases, people are not (and IMO should
not be) "assigned" tasks; they take tasks on themselves. Though
obviously I do nudge people or point out stuff they may have not
noticed.
