This first week has been pretty crazy.
Here is what happened to my team of software developers:
started with 4.
lost 2 (including the student who was doing a good job as project manager).
Got 5 new members.
Instructor suggested that one or two of the NEW people should lead the project.
That last bit was the source of most of the chaos and problems. One of our prospective leaders -- as his first suggestion -- before even looking at the work done so far --- wanted to scrap all the existing code and start from scratch in C#. Because it would be easier to test. Insane.
I will need to actively push the technical direction of the project. Before it was very consensus driven. Now I'm going to start looking for tasks and handing them out...
I think I'll start using the built in bugtracker in google code.
Hopefully I won't end up in conflict with someone who thinks hes supposed to be the boss.
