Preparing for Summer of Extreme Production - June 1 - Aug 31. Top priorities:

Production

Extreme Dev Protocols

  1. CAD Systems Tutorial - how to go from any file format to another
  2. Stabilize video editing infrastructure. Determine video quality and upload standards.
  3. Stabilize image upload infrastructure
  4. Improve Team Membership. Every project should have a form collecting names of developers, so everyone can communicate with one another. People can edit the responses to remove their info if they are no longer interested. Keeps list management on Contributor side - allowing self-management - and takes responsibility off group organizer (good design)
