[N.B. For members of the HR-Payroll team; Discovery teams use the format
below to give brief status reports on a bi-weekly basis. The intent is to
provide a reporting mechanism for projects without a lot of administrative
overhead. These are shared with other Discovery Project Team Leaders. If
you are interested the archive for these reports, see:
http://www.mit.edu:8008/menelaus/magellan/ . For the HR-Payroll project,
I'll be responsible for these reports]
