No room for discussion on project cards

I am used to Trello instead of Projects, where you can comment on the cards. For these cards, it may be useful to have different perspectives, or additional insights tacked on. Is this possible with GitHub projects?

Breathing room: Allies, accomplices, and conspiracies

Via @aculich

Do I have allies and accomplices? Are there people who are willing to be part of my conspiracy to create space— literally, breathing together.

Ongoing project evaluation

Give yourself one or 2 weeks to make minimum viable project. Then send to a collaborator with fresh eyes. Collaborators lose interest quickly with lack of visible progress, so it is important to get them onboard with something tangible. If you can't create something tangible enough to get someone interested within 10 days, then maybe the project is not a good idea.

Service Pt 2

Is this suggestion for evaluating new or ongoing commitments?

ongoing commitments - once you get a reputation for being willing to provide service in a particular realm, how do you pull back?

Please write your suggestion as a brief question. For example: "Do I wish to contribute?"

Will the service be completed if I do not do it? If no, what are the larger impacts to the community? Am I willing to see a negative impact occur?

Make evaluations when being tired

Is this suggestion for evaluating new or ongoing commitments?
both

Please write your suggestion as a brief question. For example: "Do I wish to contribute?"
Make evaluations when tired. It's easier to say yes to things when being energetic and optimistic. E.g. after night observing it's more realistic to evaluate how tired one would be on a 3 day meeting that requires 30hr+ of travel to get there and back.

How many work days will travelling to/from this conference cost me?

Is this suggestion for evaluating new or ongoing commitments?
Events

Please write your suggestion as a brief question. For example: "Do I wish to contribute?"
"How many work days will travelling to/from this conference cost me?"

This is very much relevant for side kick projects that are not part of the primary day job.

Service Pt 1

Is this suggestion for evaluating new or ongoing commitments?

new commitment - deciding whether or not to get involved in a particular realm of service

Please write your suggestion as a brief question. For example: "Do I wish to contribute?"

Does the work require a body or does it require my particular experience, point of view, and/or set of skills?
