Living operational knowledge for running a good Apron bot. This is the
hard-won stuff — protocol gotchas, behavioral lessons, and procedures.
For architecture and code mechanics, see README.md.
Keep this file current: when you learn something new about being a good Apron bot, add it here.
A comprehensive list of the projects we discussed, with a short description, primary programming language, and current GitHub star count.
