[Csped] Making up lost time

Hi all,
Today in class we decided that we should pick a project leader/manager
to make sure we can keep a schedule and get things done. If anyone
really wants to do it, now is the time to speak up, otherwise I have no
problem with doing it.
Basically, by next Monday we need to have concrete requirements decided
(Dr. Howland demands it... you'd better listen...). If I get some time
tonight I'll try to start off with some proposed requirements, and I'd
encourage everyone to do the same.
I wasn't in class last Monday due to a math competition, so I should
probably ask, did we make any progress then in determining the scope of
our project and some general constraints?
Also, I think hardware/software are good divisions, but I think we need
to break it down a little further. Those sub-function groups should be
part of what we have for next week, and I think within the first 15
minutes of class everyone should know what they'll be working on. Just a
thought.
