This week our group began work on our enhanced documentation for the DesignWorkshop Lite program by submitting a proposal memo and Gantt chart.  I formatted the memo and composed the introduction section of the memo.  After compiling the nearly-complete memo from other members' contributions, I also performed significant edits on other members' sections before passing it on to the other group members for further editing.

This week we wrote up the proposal for our documentation project.  I helped think of the topic and helped write the memo.  I am planning on researching current documentation on the subject and creating a data sheet for the usability test.

We met during class on Wednesday April 8th and all group members (Hu, John, Brett, and Liz) were present.  During this meeting we finished up some individual blogs, discussed our storyboard, and determined we would meet during class time on Friday in order to begin work on our storyboard. 

Our group, Ashley, Deborah, Andrew, and myself (Sijia), met up and put together the Memo and Ghantt chart. We divided up the tasks and assigned task deadlines. For the memo, we determined the demographics of the user and how to test the plan.

Helped coming up with ideas which topic to do the project on and memo.  Put together the gantt chart for the proposal.

This week the group brainstormed ideas for the documentation project and eventually selected my suggestion of documenting how to construct a base in teh video game Starcraft.  I wrote the actual proposal for this topic discussing the users it would be targetted to and how it would benefit StarCraft's producer Blizzard Entertainment. Someone else wrote the Gantt chart and proof read the proposal.

Today I worked on our Proposal/Gantt Chart for an hour.  I had to watch a tutorial in order to make the chart.  Even with a video helping me, it still wasn't an easy process.  At first, I tried to used Microsoft's own website to help me but that was pretty much worthless.  I assume the 7 minute video has sound, but I was unable to listen.  The video did highlight each step specifically before moving on, but sometimes it was hard to follow.
