What we read each week, and who is doing what.
Who does what each week lives in the shared sign-up sheet: add one row per week (week, your GitHub username, task) and change it whenever you like. Its Week check tab shows, per week, which major tasks still need people and which are over their limit. If your change would break a rule, switch with someone instead.
