Currently we're in good shape. We have direction and decisions have been made. Now its just all about completing the tasks that we know we have left. We spent a long time figuring out what we were going to do, but that has helped make this part of the process a bit easier. I feel like we're working together as a group decently well. We have a dropbox set up in order to share information, but between google docs and dropbox, neither is perfect. (It would be nice if dropbox had some communication/note taking abilities, although it is much easier to use that google docs).

Currently I've been rendering our product in SolidWorks which has been an annoying process (rebuild errors galore!) but i'm at least 75% done. As part of the group, i've helped contribute ideas and help ensure that we're staying on track, although that seems to be a group effort as we can all get sidetracked from time to time.

This has been one of the better group experiences that I've had where everyone here is contributing ideas and efforts to the project.

We had a meeting today and everyone showed up and we solidified our plan a bit more so we should be ready in plenty of time of wednesday.

Above are some of the initial renderings of the pots and lids as well as a brainstorming sheet and an image of our Coleman Home icon (its not our main logo, just a secondary image that will be incorporated into the packaging and kiosk.
