Research direction
Read the Seven Steps in dwyl/hq issue 147 and the repository README.md first, then examine how GitHub stars are being used as confirmation. Define and document an onboarding mechanism that confirms contributors have read, understood, and intend to follow the process; done means the confirmation is clear and usable.

Description
Step 4 of the Seven Steps in https://github.com/dwyl/hq/issues/147 is to ⭐ this repo.
Why?

encouraging (requiring) people to ⭐ the repo to confirm they have read/understood and intend to follow the process is the only way I could think of to foster the necessary behaviour for success in 2017.
The prospect of getting $300 Headphones is a pretty decent "carrot" when you consider that reading the README.md. will take no more than 10 minutes.
We have collectively wasted countless hours of Dev & QA time over the past year
because people have not beenrequired to follow process. ⌛️ 💸 🔥
Hours that should have been spent on the craft/features.
Which would have made users/stakeholders/clients happy.

It's my fault for not making sure we had a clearer "onboarding" process...
We're going to fix it in 2017.
DWYL will be a well-oiled machine running on a hydrogen fuel-cell producing water in the desert! 👍
