By my reckoning, there is something like 160 person-hours of work being done in the office every week. I would love to know what that work actually is!

Dear Jon, Daria, Stevie and Richard
Hope this doesn't sound like too much of a silly question, but I would love to know what you guys do throughout the week :) I dont just mean like on average. But I would love to be able to see what projects staff are working on, how projects are progressing etc. I suppose not just to be interesting but it would be great to build on the transparency that we have institutionalised into our board. I would love to get the same or at least closer level of openness with our staff. I think the community would appreciate that openess too and also it helps us better understand the roles our staff play :) Right now although I know all your job titles, and we have job descriptions. I have seen from my own eyes at the foundation that they don't necessarily reflect on what a person is actually doing. I would be interested in knowing how much time they are spending on different things, as well as what things they are doing. This in particular applies to managing budgets since we should really measure the cost of our staff time to allow us to monitor accurately what is actually getting spent where.
Anyway it would good to hear your thoughts on not just what you guys are up to at the moment, but also what is feasible for you guys to do to be able to feed this kind of info back to the community in the long term.
Thanks Seddon
