This week was spent taking care of some final maintenance items that are bringing the toolchain and team together. We were able to get our subversion repo fully functional (yay) and have imported the baseline Lua source and resources we will work with. James's stuff has off to a great start and Eric has done some really cool initial changes that has it starting to look like the world Lee and his resource are painting for us. I feel like exciting changes are afoot.
This is normally the time where I fear teams get paralyzed deciding what to do next. And given how geographically spread out we are, it is especially difficult to stay in sync. To combat this, we are attempting to use Agile head on. Specifically, we have created our virtual board of cards using Trello. Everyone is starting to fill in the details on the things items we need to do, the things that are being done, as well what is complete. We are using Trello to self-assign resources to each task and I think this will prevent us from doing double work and harmonize efforts.
Overall I am quite pleased with our trajectory. In a few weeks we should have a better sense of a burn rate and being able to provide better estimates to both the professor and amongst ourselves. Tomorrow will be our first attempt at using Google hangouts as a means to share our screen and demo what we have so far with the professor. I look forward to his feedback on our progress and plan thus far.
