Agreed that has been our history for several years.  

I have thought about it and no matter who wins, I want to see us FTSC make a
sort of list at what areas we feel best at in documentation them comb them
over with those who are best at it.  See what we thinks needs to be fixed the
present it back.

When I started as a guest member we had a bunch of FTSC echos. We devolved to
one later but we lost something along the way. We might just need some side
chatter dedicated to specifics without thr baiting because no one knows it all.

The job of the coodinator is an admin position, not a techicnical one.  It is
to assist the members with working it all out.  Guidance, not mandates.
