Decided to have customer meeting - 3 on Thursday November 06, to discuss the UI, Initial Requirements document. Prasoon will e-mail to customer regarding the meeting.
Tracking individual responsibilities to see of everyone is up to date with schedules.
Discussed on small responsibilities being overlooked or delayed and not being done efficiently like tracking project updates, website updates, preparing meeting agenda etc. Sumana would come up with an idea to track them so that we can maintain that too throughout the project with much difficulty. We would discuss this in next team meeting.
Decided to discuss the UI design and Requirements analysis in Tuesday's meeting.
Sumana will prepare the agenda for next team meeting and Ziping would prepare the list of milestones our customer need to be aware of.
We have started a Yahoo group in the very beginning of the semester even before Sourceforge, continued using that and did not start using SourceForge forums till now. Decided that everyone will be using SourceForge Forums. We would move the temporary project files to SourceForge too. 
Sumana and Chitra will update the User Interfaces.
Still struggling with SourceForge "CVS" and "Documents" folders being slow when files are uploaded and have not yet come to a conclusion.
