Update from Jessica Plymesser on November 10, 2005

…I talked to Jeremy and it sounds like we WILL be able to try to do the polling on the Greenlee site. It sounds like there is software out there that will automatically generate the data for the polls for us. This means that when someone clicks on an answer, they will be able to know immediately what the correct answer should be, as well as what others have voted. This also means that we COULD have a question of the day.

However, if we have a question of the day, we really need to work on generating questions with answers in advance to have prepared for the site. We need to decide how often we want to have a new question on the site available. Jeremy says we should be able to start having polls on the site probably as early as the middle of next week, although we may want to wait to start having them until the beginning of a week.

• Fund raising is a priority. The team members and advisers discussed selling cookies and/or breadsticks and chili. Times and days that Erin, Jessica, Bob and Lori can all work together on fund raising include Monday and Wednesday from 11:00 a.m. until 1:15 p.m. Jessica is free until 12 noon on those same days. Dru added, “As far as a fund raiser, mornings might be good, too. Especially catching 460 students as they come and go.”

  Who can work in the morning M-F?

• Meeting adjourned at 6:05 p.m.
