A team is local to a project. There is currently no provision for teams that span projects.

Total and average credit is accounted for teams, and reflects all work done by participants while they belong to the team (even if they later quit the team).

A team has the following attributes:

• A textual name.
• An HTML name (can include graphics).
• A textual description.
• An optional URL (e.g., of the team's web site)
• A type (business, school, club, etc.).
• The founder: initially, this is the user who created the team, but it may change (see below). A team's founder may quit the team, but will remain as its founder.
• A list of members.

A project's web site lets you:

• See lists of the teams with the most credit.
• Search for teams in various ways.
• Join a team
• Quit your current team

The founder of a team has some additional capabilities:

• Edit the team's attributes.
• View the email addresses of all team members.
• Remove members from the team.
• Change the founder (to any current member).
• Disband the team.
