      Also, as we mentioned in our last meeting, Nick has been trying to  
come up with an idea of how we and the Engineering team allocate our  
resources, something along the lines of that colorful little graphic I  
made a while back. The record we currently leave is a bit too coarse  
and unreliable.

We initially talked about doing check-ins over email, but someone  
(Sonali?) wisely suggested that we could just edit our existing  
tracker with the reality of how we spent our week instead. I've gone  
ahead and added the biggest tasks I've spent my time on since Friday  
(with mixed success—I probably need to keep better track of myself on  
a day-to-day rather than relying too much on being retrospective).  
I'll leave it up to you to determine how you keep track of yourselves,  
but I think some good guidelines for expressing it would be to use  
percentages of your time over the total week (note that mine don't  
quite add to 100%) and to update the tracker before our weekly  
meetings. We'll evaluate things as we go and see if that's working for  
all of us and Nick.

Sound good?
