Organized by project week number. The original schedule had a buffer-week at the end. This version is revised to compensate for the late start, which basically involved only removing that week.

Daily Task Calendar

1. (3 - 6 June): (now scheduled for completion on/by 2010-06-04)
   • Write message and find subjects for tutorial-algorithm testing, and target-audience testing. (done; see here)
   • Ask some friends for creative contributions. (done, with one volunteer so far)
   • Create development/testing environments (list is for personal reference):
     • Fedora 13 x64 (KDE only) on fwt (NO - remains F12 indefinitely, for technical reasons)
     • Fedora 13 i686 (KDE only) on hp (done)
     • Fedora 13 x86 (GNOME only) on fwt-vbox (having problems getting the vbox kernel modules working)
     • I don't think that all the other vbox-testing things were really necessary.
   • Create a Google Calendar 'feed' of tasks and time-lines. (calendar ready, but currently empty)
   • Hook into Fedora Planet to start blogging. (connected, but Blogger is down at the moment)
   • Revise schedule to account for late start. (finished)
   • Finalize tutorial topics. (finished & ongoing)

   • Send "yay" emails to music@ and planetccrma@ lists, asking for help with testing.
     • Compile list of volunteers willing to help with testing.

4. (21 - 27 June):
   • Test previous week's tutorial algorithms.
   • Review algorithms, seeking possible mistakes or pitfalls, and forewarn about them.
   • Buffer week.
5. (28 June - 4 July):
   • Ensure contact is made with the Docs SIG about the evolution to an "official" document.
