- Footnotes and asides are a warning — Overuse of footnotes, commas, em dashes, and parentheses suggest your writing may be unclear. Keeping sentences focused helps your reader.
- Embrace the non-judgmental “why?” —People don’t make bad decisions on purpose. If you understand why a decision was made in the past, you make better decisions for the future.
- Little ways program managers add value — Some contributions aren’t a make-or-break moment, they’re a way to reduce the friction for contributors and make processes run smoother.

- The flywheel theory of community engagement — The Flywheel Theory says that the long term sustainability of a community project depends on having someone who can keep the momentum going.
