This weekend was a good weekend for the project.

Darrell and I sat down for about two hours on Friday and hammered out the documentation needs and requirements. Now that the documentation is a little more defined, progress on writing it should go a lot faster. We also went through the software on the cd and weeded out some of the more unnecessary programs to make more room. Current size of the cd is running about 250mb. So there is plenty of room for documentation and templates.

I want to say thanks to Rachel Ochs. She sent me a whole bundle of prayer letters and missionary updates. Using those, I was able to start on a do’s and dont’s document and the first of what will be many prayer letter templates. Hopefully having a variety of simple and elegantly designed templates will make it easy for missionaries to write prayer letters. That way missionaries can concentrate on their main goals.

As for website stuff, Darrell started organizing our links page. He posted a partial list of online resources and links that should be useful to missionaries and pastors alike. The list is not at all complete, but it should grow as we both get more time to post to it. We also got a forum set up for discussions and to help out with the organization and administration of the project.

So all in all, this has been a productive weekend. A lot of good progress and a lot of work done.
