Hey folks,
We've been doing weekly checkins among the V3 team for a few weeks now. These are just a chance for the team to say what they're working on and shout about anything they need help with. Since the developer release is out the door we're going to start doing these in public now. This way anyone interested can see where we're up to, and anyone who wants to help out can.

We follow something like the agile standup questions:
- What did I build/design/do this week?
- What will I do next week?
- Is anything blocking you? (questions you need answered, things you need help with, etc)

Here's mine.. This week:
- Finished up the post form location picker widget
- Merged the create post form into master. Its not what I'd call complete yet, but its usable and we needed it for the dev release
- Created a build process using Phing. I copied this from Kohana and tweaked it a little bit.
- Updated the demo site and moved the url to v3.ushahidi.com

Next week:
- Hopefully merging my ACL work and improving our oauth2 handling in the UI. Killing that horrible 'authorize' screen
- Documenting the build process
- Creating a couple of screencasts (install, UI walkthrough) and
- Updating the 'easy tasks' list for anyone starting on V3 development
- Helping anyone else with their blockers

I've also taken a decent break this week, and may still take Monday off. Burnt myself out getting the dev release done: not my best plan ever!
