Haoran Wang 5.1 31 We are a team with key members because key members in our team know more about the project. Actually, it is a good team structure because it is better to have someone who knows the whole project and divides tasks for other team members.

Haoran Wang 5.1 33 How much is the XWiki helpful? Who is responsible for updating the XWiki?
34 XWiki is really helpful because we could know what others are doing and the process of the project. In our team, we are responsible for updating different parts of XWiki.

Pierre Bongrand 4.1 48
Haoran Wang 8.1 49 In our team, we maintain an online sheet to track all the tasks that need to be accomplished. We put specific team members' names to indicate who is going to do the task. Besides, we use different colors to indicate the state of tasks. For example, red means "not done", orange means "needs to be improved", blue means "fine but can be improved", and green means "good". In this way, we know what each other is doing and the progress of tasks.
