Organized by project week number. The original schedule had a buffer-week at the end. This version is revised to compensate for the late start, which basically involved only removing that week.

To see what is scheduled for each day, see the Daily Task Calendar

1. (3 - 6 June): (now scheduled for completion on/by 2010-06-04)
   • Write message and find subjects for tutorial-algorithm testing, and target-audience testing. (done; see here)
   • Ask some friends for creative contributions. (done, with one volunteer so far)
   • Create development/testing environments (list is for personal reference):
     • Fedora 13 x64 (KDE only) on fwt (NO - remains F12 indefinitely, for technical reasons)
     • Fedora 13 i686 (KDE only) on hp (done)
     • Fedora 13 x86 (GNOME only) on fwt-vbox (having problems getting the vbox kernel modules working)
     • I don't think that all the other vbox-testing things were really necessary.
   • Create a Google Calendar 'feed' of tasks and time-lines. (calendar ready, but currently empty)
   • Hook into Fedora Planet to start blogging. (connected, but Blogger is down at the moment)
   • Revise schedule to account for late start. (finished)
   • Finalize tutorial topics. (finished & ongoing)
2. (7 - 13 June):
   • Send "yay" emails to music@ and planetccrma@ lists, asking for help with testing.
     • Compile list of volunteers willing to help with testing.
   • Learn about Qtractor, Rosegarden, and Ardour so that you can make distinct tutorial topics.
   • Begin Writing Tutorial Algorithms (these will require less research):
     • Sound Servers: JACK
     • Sound Servers: PulseAudio
     • Planet CCRMA: Repository Configuration (done)
     • Recording: Audacity
     • Synthesizers: SuperCollider
     • Typesetting: LilyPond
     • Typesetting: Frescobaldi
3. (14 - 20 June):
   • Test previous week's tutorial algorithms.

     • Synthesizers: FluidSynth/QSynth
     • Synthesizers: Rosegarden
     • Synthesizers: Qtractor
     • Training: GNU Solfege
4. (21 - 27 June):
   • Test previous week's tutorial algorithms.
   • Review algorithms, seeking possible mistakes or pitfalls, and forewarn about them.
   • Buffer week.
5. (28 June - 4 July):
   • Ensure contact is made with the Docs SIG about the evolution to an "official" document.
   • Begin writing documents on the Fedora Wiki (algorithms will already be on the Wiki):
