RE: [Isugamedev-midworld] Iteration 2

[Brown J. L <Bro...@Jo...>]

If they come every week milestone isn't exactly a good word for it ;) but I
agree that having weekly goals for the development process is a great
strategy.  And then we could have development and Ben could run them and he
could always be 20 minutes late to them and then Chad would have to run them
because Ben wasn't there.  (inside joke about juggler meetings)  Anwyay, I
like that idea, just le tme know when my deadlines are.
