How About Progress Reports? & Harry FP, Again

[abigailnus]

Boy, it's been a little dead here, hasn't it?

Back in June, when we were discussing the idea of separating into 
groups or houses, the suggestion was made that the different houses 
would make periodic reports of their progress to the group.  I think, 
given the relative silence over the last two weeks, that this might not 
be a bad idea.  I was thinking of a monthly rotation, where we'd pick 
a day of the week and have a different house report on each week - 
Gryffindor would report on the first Tuesday of the month, and 
Slytherin on the second, for example.

I don't want this to sound like deadlines - I think it would be 
perfectly acceptable for a report to say something like "due to RL 
intrusions, Hufflepuff house didn't get a great deal done this month" 
or to be rather short.  I just think it would be helpful to have signs 
of life from time to time from the other groups - it could also act as 
a catalyst for groups that have been found themselves stuck.  People 
from other groups could read the progress reports and offer insights 
- it would be a good way of getting fresh voices without forcing 
every member to read other groups' messages.  

Any thoughts?  Either way, I think the groups that have been forming 
(Ravenclaw and Slytherin, from what I've seen) might want to let the 
rest of us know how things have been going for them at least as a 
one-time thing.  

On another matter, should I come to any conclusions with regards to 
the silence on the Harry FP front?  Before OOP, there were four people 
other then myself who had signed up to this group - Penny, Ali, Dicey 
and Phyllis.  Are they no longer interested in this FP?  I'd like to know 
one way or another, so that I can decide if I want to join another group 
or start work on my own.
