List of work we do

Please think back over the last few weeks about all the various tasks you do here at Free Geek. We want to get a complete list of all the work that is being done (and should be being done) here.

We already know what is listed in people's job descriptions. (You can see most of them here: Job Descriptions.) We don't need you to write down what is already in your job description, but what else do you do around here? Please edit your section below and create a list of things you do.

One more thing: There are certainly a few things that should be getting done, but aren't. Perhaps they are things that we once did and have set aside. If you can think of something that just isn't getting done, go ahead and stick that in the first section (Stuff nobody does).

Stuff NOBODY does

(Put items here if nobody actually does them, but they need to be done.)
