Every month

Did anything actually change?

Once a month we come back and ask the same short questions. What got done. What is still running. What nobody has picked up. Nothing is added to your calendar beyond this: it is part of HEWEN.

Last Thursday of every month, 45 minutes, same six people.

The list

Everything, in three columns.

No status colours to decode. Something is finished, someone is working on it, or nobody has started.
