+• Need a more direct way to ask for help and to find who needs
+  help. Something like /state but with announcements in the main

+  something like that.
+
+• Fix all message posting in Slack to avoid limits, (breaking big
+  messages (is it 100 blocks? need to check) into multiple smaller
+  messages).

 • Set-up an announcements Slack channel that's auto fed by email to a

-• In messages (like from /solved) don't use a raw user_name value from
-  the request, but instead some tagged version of a user ID (which
-  Slack will render as a display name).
+• Allow a hunt (and perhaps a round) to have multiple URLs

 
 

-Round management
-----------------
+• Provide an "Archive channel" button in the channel when outputting
+  the message that results from /solved.

 
 

-• Select round fields by default based on the round of the puzzle for
-  the channel in which `/puzzle` is invoked.
+• Would it be helpful to have some sort of "tools" command to collect
+  pointers to useful tools and allow for searching of them?

 
 

-• Consider putting a round prefix into the channel name to group a
-  round's puzzles in the channel list.
+• Investigate what from snap2 we could incorporate into our sheets:

 
 

-Meta-puzzle support
--------------------
+  https://github.com/kevinychen/snap2

 
 

-• Figure out a good mechanism for linking puzzles to a meta-puzzle
-  that they feed into. Is this different or the same as the round
-  mechanism described above?
+• Watch the recent hunt workshop that had some recommendations on
+  tools and see what from that we should incorporate

 
 

-Hunt overview commands and filters
-----------------------------------
+• Think about writing some custom solving tools, (like Qat, or
+  Nutrimatic, or Snap2, etc.)

 
 

-• On the Turbot home screen allow a dropdown for Unsolved/Solved/All
-  puzzles
+• Fix slash commands to pass off processing to a separate Lambda and
+  then return immediately (removing the annoying "operation timeout"
+  complaints from Slack even when the command works exactly as it
+  should).

 
 

-• For both "/hunt" and the Turbot home screen allow for a search
-  string that will search through puzzle names, puzzle IDs, puzzle
-  URLs, and state strings.
+• Hunt creation and editing should set the hunt channel's topic

 
 

-• Figure out what we want for tagging and searching on tags (beyond
-  what's already possible with the state strings).
+• There should be a state string in the hunt (and support for the
+  /state command) so that there's a supported way to edit the hunt
+  channel's topic without destroying its links.

 
 

-Editing puzzle fields
----------------------
+• The Turbot Home view and the /hunt output should emit the hunt links
+  and state string (similar to how puzzle links and state strings are
+  already implemented).

 
 

-• Implement a command to display the status of the current puzzle
-  within the channel. Need a name for this command.
+Round management
+----------------

 
 

-• Extend the in-channel puzzle display to also allow editing of all
-  puzzle fields
+• Select round fields by default based on the round of the puzzle for
+  the channel in which `/puzzle` is invoked.

 
 

-• Implement an /archive command to allow for easy archiving of a
-  channel for a solved puzzle (but make sure archived puzzles still
-  show up in global hunt/round views).
+Hunt overview commands and filters
+----------------------------------

 
 

-• Ensure that both spreadsheet and channel are updated in response to
-  any changes.
+• On the Turbot home screen allow a dropdown for Unsolved/Solved/All
+  puzzles
+
+• On the Turbot home screen add a text box for a search hstring (to
+  work like the search string now available in "/hunt").

 Sheet-related fixes

-• Have linked spreadsheets go into a specific Google Drive folder
+• Add the solution to the sheet name on solved: "[TITLE] - Solved [ANSWER]"

 
 

-• Come up with a better sheet template

-• Put the puzzle's name into the primary tab of the sheet
-
-• When copying tabs from the spreadsheet template, don't leave the
-  default "Copy of " text in place.
+• Use a hunt-specific Google Drive folder for creating all the
+  sheets. (This way, we can share out the "mh2021" folder to all team
+  members so that people can browse the sheets that way if wanted, and
