Since I will be spending my time soon working most directly on things other than Cloud Services goals I have attempted to persist my understanding of shared/best practice to a wiki page. This is less a declaration than it is an attempt to formalize current expectations as I understand them. I know this is imperfect but the lack of a page like this I think has been making life difficult for awhile and we gotta start somewhere. This is mostly as-is but there are sprinklings of hope-to-be with links to tasks where changes are in progress or being tracked.
