Name	Yuan Gao
Milestone Status: Gains made (If possible, include hyperlinks to what you mention here.)	1. We split into small groups to work out mockups. I was in searching and navigation group. We discussed several ideas about searching and navigation: question search, keyword search, categorization of questions and items. 2. We split into small groups. Now I am in authoring team with Felipe and Kevin, and advanced research team with Hubert, Dave and Derek. Where are these team memberships documented? -- SW 3. For authoring team, Felipe, Kevin and I worked on the interfaces of content/profile creation/modification. 4. For research team, we are exploring JQuery and SliverLight. Now I am working on JQuery UI Investigation and Customization. 5. Attended the customer meeting.
Milestone Status: Obstacles Encountered	1. Our research team now only work on front-end technology. It seemed that we can't work on back-end technology until the leaders decided the architecture of the project. Maybe you should take a more pro-active approach to helping the design of the overall system. -- SW The more pressure placed on one individual element in the system, the more likely it will break. Perhaps it would be better for more people to be involved in the overall design? 2. Still can't find a method to improved the window managing by bringing the current selected window to the forefront.
Milestone Status: Proposed Solutions	1. The leaders can post tasks on research task list. This is a passive, reactive approach for which you have no time. -- SW 2. We can bring the dialog to the front by close it and open again. I will read the documentations of JQuery.
Development Process: What seems to be working and why?	1. The small group meetings are efficient. More ideas are brought in the meetings and communication is good between team members. 2. The customer meeting is well prepared. The presentations, powerpoints and GUI mockups are well prepared.
Development Process: What does not seem to be working and why?	1. We didn't have an agenda for the customer meeting and I have no idea of what we are going to discuss. 2. When making decision for the authoring team, we have to depend on other teams (database and content team). I agree that this dependency is a problem; kudos for explicitly pointing it out. --Chelsea
Development Process: Proposals for change--issues addressed and why the change will help.	1. Post agenda before the meeting 2. We could work together, hold some intergroup meetings. How about a system spec? See Felipe's journal. --- SW I think it might actually be helpful to keep the teams decoupled--perhaps it has a better chance to be reflected in your code. Your implementation shouldn't be tightly dependent on other teams' implementation, after all. Dr. Wong's comment should cover all you need to get things running.
