FGC:Minionistries

To ease the workload of the project, streamline operations and prevent bottlenecks, the various parts of the FGP will be split into seperate sections called Minionistries. Each Minionistry will be responsible for a seperate section of the project, but will work in conjunction with other Minionistries for the benefit of the project.

Heading each minionistry will be an individual Minionister. The Minionister will have authority over all decisions relating to their minionistry and will be expected to act independantly to achieve the goals of their section. Minionisters will be expected to act on their own initative without supervision, but will also be expected to be open to suggestions and feedback for other Minionisters and users.

Minionisters may appoint, and if neccessary co-opt, junior minionisters, or underlings, to assist them in their duties. Other Minionisters may also offer assistance if it is required.

It is hoped that Minionisters will be able to act as part of the overall FGC/P, not just solely on their own sections, so that the entire project will be greater than the sum of its parts.

The individual Minionisters responsible for their own Minionistries are as follows.
