I review the aggregate report for broken links, bad html formatting, etc. so the public view of our doesn't look sloppy or careless.	In progress	Make the Status Manager reports, easier to create, edit and post. Noticed that it took several hours to go through and edit everyone's reports to resolve erroneous links generated from the use of CamelCase technical terms (not intended to link to a Wiki page) and references to Wiki pages in Chandler or other wikis other than Journal where the reports get posted.	Had discussion with Lisa about her use of the Wiki as an alternative to the Status Manager as a management/reporting tool and the potential use of a new commercial project management software package. She and I agree that it would be better to track progress/status in context of development milestones.
