[Scorecard] how are we doing?

[Deanne DiPietro]

Hello Everyone,

I'm back after a short hiatus from the Scorecard project, writing  
grants and taking vacation. Thank you Caitlin and Frances for  
competent leadership through this writing and production process. The  
calendar below is very helpful; it appears that we are on schedule and  
the product is looking great. I agree that we should stay on track  
although I am not opposed to asking ourselves some big questions about  
what we have done at the next meeting. We are likely to get some left- 
field comments when we get reviews from others, and it can't hurt to  
prepare.

Dec 5 is already a double-booker for me, so I'm hoping we can do our  
Team Meeting on the 4th.

Great work, everybody!
Deanne
