[teampractices] [TOOL REQUEST] A way to "raise your hand" as a remotee

Fri Jan 8 23:25:09 UTC 2016

Hello, interesting mailing list!

Joaquin, this is fantastic and much needed.  Thank you for taking the time
to write this prototype!  Ironically, I'm reading your letter from the
"skunkworks" unconference session.

One small feature request: a way to flag or reprioritize someone on the
queue, e.g. when the moderator identifies this person as someone who hasn't
spoken yet.
