Re: Application To Join A Team
The team application you have described seemed "extreme" compared to my perception of the application. Our team cannot support a large number of students (35+.) We resulted in using a short application form and interview to determine if there is enough interest to participate and make sure we do not over-extend on amount of members. Unfortunately, there are people that are not willing to do any work and just mess around as well. Limited ability to support a number of students and need of actual interest are my two main criteria for the use of applications.

I have never heard of requiring full hours in build season and a team fee. I hope we can use this as a good discussion on the nature of team applications.
