Hey team,

It looks like we'll soon be underway and get to start building and testing parts. I seem to remember Farshid saying he (and Jessica?) already extracted the parts that we needed from the registry, so that we can move on from there. There's a semi-final outline of what we'd like to do on the Critical Design Review (CDR) page so take a look at that. Once we get approval from Prof. Davies, we can get started.

The overall idea is to "assign" a part to a member so that member is responsible for growing/maintaining that part as well as adding that part to someone else's part. Also, depending on other people's thoughts on this, it would be a good idea to double up on the parts so that we get at least two cracks at making a part at the same time. This allows everyone to participate in the process from start to finish. Of course there will be a lot of flexibility in who does what, but this gives us some sort of baseline to start with. I'll be making some sort of sign-up sheet so if you want to make a specific part for some reason you can. I was thinking of using Google calendar to help with the coordination, so if you want a Gmail address, you can just email me and I can invite you (Gmail is actually really good). I'll keep you updated on this idea though.

One last thing, CHECK THE WIKI REGULARLY!! We are now going to start doing stuff so there should be regular postings on the Wiki and so I don't want to flood everyone's inboxes. I will try to see if there is some way to indicate whether a link has been modified in some way so that you know there has been an update. Or if any of you know how to implement that by all means go for it.
