Current Work

• Welcome Message This is the first welcome page seen by a new user. This needs to be written up. It should be short and sweet because users really only see it once.

• Logo Contest Parameters for the contest and where we store the results. The contest should be done ASAP as this affects the look of the site. We can get help from CollabNet's branding people to flow from the logo into the style of the site.

• Membership nominations needs to have an announcement and link to the nominees list.
