I'm glad to see that this team is back on track and performing at full throttle. Aside from the glitches during the Heuristic Eval, it is clear that you are progressing.

Several previous Weekly status reports seem to be missing so I can't comment/credit you for them.

Please make the changes I suggested way back regarding the additional tag/category so that they are all in one place.

Last, but not least, you are not properly recording your metrics on effort. You should be presenting the information in table form:
Peter 10
Paul 20
Mary 30
Week total 60
Project Total 220

Please do so from now on.

NO reporting was made from wk 7-10. If possible, I would like you to email me your team members final effort metrics.
