OER (Pressbooks) Sprints: How to Optimize the Authorship Process

Aha! I’ve thought of an addition already. Building on the idea of leaving space for everyone to talk, I think it’s valuable to have a clear set of guidelines or expectations for everyone participating. This just makes it explicit that everyone should be respectful and constructive, which is often assumed, but it gives you something concrete to point to if ever a difficult situation does arise. We have an example of these kinds of guidelines in the MOU for our Textbook Success Program (hat-tip to @apurva for creating this) which might inspire you - you probably don’t need anything as formal as an MOU but having something similar is a gesture in that direction that makes sure everyone knows what’s expected of them on the day.
