Copy / paste of chatwing text chat for this session
I think Trello is less a communication system than a way to manage projects.
I’d like to see a digest feature.
You have to go into each card when you do it only online.
Jose – I don’t see the little wheel to change the announcements to digest?
I found it —
You can have Never, every hour, or instantly. Not exactly a digest, e.g., every 24 hrs would be better.

So glad for the invite to this. It convinced me to allot time to master this great tool. Also demonstrated that we learn from each other. I learned how to tap on the iPad in order to mute, and we all learned that disabling our video feed improves the quality of the audio feed.
