I'm still here and still assigned to *Slytherin* which has 
responsibility for DEs and Aurors/government update.  An outline was 
posted, and I believe the group has agreed to start by tackling the 
DEs, which is probably the most difficult piece of the project.  I 
think the next step is for Tom, Derannimer and myself to pick 
sections to work on.  

Another possibility is that one of us could switch over to updating 
the government FP (which is quite out of date) while the other two 
work on the DEs.  Since that's what I had originally planned to do, 
along with the Aurors (when Porphyria and I had this responsibility) 
and had in fact started on it, perhaps I should keep that side and 
leave the DEs to Tom and Derannimer.  

I think one of the problems with the larger teams is that no member 
of the team feels like they can dive into working on an FP until 
everyone else on the team weighs in.  This suggests to me that 
perhaps we should work in very small groups of no more than 3, where 
people can work semi-autonomously and report in to the group.  
Perhaps everyone who's ready to begin should just shout out what 
they're planning to do, as Penny and Heidi have just done.

Erm.  I agree that the burnt orange is a bit over the top and makes 
the menu very hard to read for us old folks who need reading 
glasses.  The lighter orange is just a wee bit more readable.
