Here is a nearly week-by-week schedule that we hope to stick to throughout the year. Each month, key members will meet to review documentation and progress that has been made. We will compare our actual progress against the plan and attempt to alleviate any sluggishness in development. Expected results will appear in normal font - actual results will appear in bold.
