Goals for the coming period:

- Continue to follow-up on Eudora for Windows problem; new version that
supports IMAP has problem with MIT Kerberos; haven't been able to test
yet for IMAP.
- Follow-up on Pine support for IMAP on the Athena platform
- Continue to shift focus to the support, documentation, and training
questions
- Firm up Discovery Report outline and began writing content
Issues:
- keeping the team focused given outside workload, priorities, etc.
Key learnings:
- check-in with team members individually or in smaller groups with some
frequency; helps keep things on track and ensure everyone feels
supported.
Team dynamics:
- The team continues to work together well and remains very interested
and engaged in the work at hand.
Additional comments:
