<br>Good point. I wll do so! To others: mel's weekly reports, linked from her userpage (and francesca's from this week, user:femslade), are a good example to follow.<br><br>| btw: this conversation is fine to share with the other interns, if you
like (part <br>| of the reason I brought up these points is because I could

<br>Another good point. And true to my pledge not to write anything longer than a sentence that isn't on a wiki page or a public mailing list, I'm moving that private thread back here. (it's still early in this particular pledge, so I forgot when replying to your personal email earlier!) <br>

Dear interns & summer contractors,<br><br>This is a reminder to all of you to write weekly reports about your work, and to plan out a simple timeline for the whole summer. Please use your userpage on the OLPC wiki for this. For those of you just getting started (tarun, riccardo, brian, bobby,
robson), I encourage you to ask questions of one another. <br><br>Would it be useful to set up a separate list for this, just for the interns?<br><br>Regards,<br>SJ<br><font color="#888888">--<br>Be bold!
