+
+Karen's still having trouble talking to the Docker for Desktop on Windows from the "commander" WSL distribution
+
+Sloetjes can't run the playbook completely, because one of the ansible modules is reporting that the "requests" library isn't available during execution
+
+Future problem solving:
+
+1. Create an issue here https://gogs.gtsplab.com:5432/SVIG/pricer/issues
+2. Use the pricer wiki repository to store any screenshots: `git clone https://gogs.gtsplab.com:5432/SVIG/pricer.wiki`
+3. If necessary, link to any screenshots from the wiki repository.
+
+Creating an issue:
+
+First, assume that the pricer repository is pulled, and you've made a commit with your changes to either:
+
+* a branch (`username-issue-number`, e.g. `j-issue-3` or `username-PR-number` for a pull request)
+* or on main, protected by a feature flag.  See notes below about feature flags.
+
+Do not check in anything that will cause more failures in the main branch.
+
+All issues should follow this format:
+```
+<<One sentence summary of the problem.>>
+
+Reproduction:
+<<Details of how to reproduce the problem>>
+
+Expected:
+<<What you expected to happen>>
+
+Research:
+<<Things you tried that didn't work, URLs you researched with, look at your command history>>
+
+<<additional notes go here>>
+```
+
+Feature flags:
+
+In Ansible: 
+
+How to only run plays when a feature flag is defined:
+```
+- name: test
+  hosts: all
+  tasks:
+    - debug:
+        msg: "test"
+      when: "feature_flag is defined"
+```
+
+How to run the playbook with the feature flag turned on:
+
+`ansible-playbook -e 'feature_flag=true' test.yml`
+
+In Python:
+
+```
+import os
+
+if 'feature_flag' in os.environ:
+  <<broken code goes here>>
+```
+
+How to run the python code with the feature flag turned on:
+
+`feature_flag=true python test.py` for a single execution, or
+
+`export feature_flag=true` to turn it on in this shell from now on.
+
+`unset feature_flag` will turn it off.
+
+Note that the bourne shell does not allow spaces around the equals sign (`=`).
