Changes changes Changes

So first let me update the work I did as the project director. I was approached by few of the story team and was brought to light a situation that has been going on and pretty much as was asked to step in and try to solve it. We ended up in a separate classroom to talk things through. I ended up having each of the team members go down the line and explain their problems and see where they all lead up to. For the most part it came down to...drum roll please...communication. Communication. Communication between members and the team lead or Product Owner. It was pretty good mess. And that lead to a bigger mess.
After this we had a really fun week of HELL, with the splash screen. We ended up having a few lines of mis-communication which lead to one of my artists working with a piece up to the very last minute, another programmer spending more then he should have online and others missing out on showing what they can do. Pissed me off and guilty all at the same time, mainly because I felt it was my fault that it happened. I felt pretty bad about the whole situation. BUT I did learn from it, and it even saw more of our communication problems. Something we are going to have to work on this next semester. Anyways it was a great week.
When I wasn't just working on that I was revamping the sites we have that help us find the info we are looking for and what not. Here are the screen shots of what it looks like now.
