• update on software standardization study
  • Gregory Dubois-Felsmann is heading up a study on the use of software and the standardization of that software across the project.

Surveys of how people use software will be sent out and we need to be responsive to this

  • JIRA, agile, confluence all seem to be going well. Atlassian's Answers may be rolled out as a project version of stackoverflow. Simon - these questions and answers need to be public. We plan to make Simulations confluence pages public (with the exception of dry run presentations). If there is are other pages that need to remain private send ajc an email.
