Group Webinar results

Hi folks,

Team 3, now known as team devastator, had our phone chat last night. We have 2 ideas we really like. The group is dividing up to work on one or the other in more detail, start to mock up what it owuld look like, how people would use it. They have nice connections for local news organizations, are going after good target audiences, and have built ways for the users to be both consumers and producers of news which i like a lot. And they seem different from other things out there. A version of the 2 ideas are on the team blog - this week hopefully they will get even more fleshed out and pictures should start to appear.

We also have at least one person we're going to cut for non-performance. I'm ready to send at least one of the people a message today - anybody think of a reason to wait? They have missed a couple of chats, haven't posted, didn't work with the groups developing the ideas the last couple of weeks and didn't come thru with the research on the idea they had picked to work on. So not just one kind of non-performance, but several. Again - anybody have a reason I should wait/not cut them? Let me know

i see no reason not to cut; dead weight compromises morale.
