- Not sure what's going on with the drawer module or what needs to be added... Not at OSE, not at the meetings. Perhaps an Edit Check-in sheet would help with remote collaboration? Either at the end or the start until the presentation is "stable"?
Thursday, June 12, 2014
- Updated what I understood needed to be changed for CEB Press Drawer Module.
Thursday, June 5, 2014
