O.k. so I started a discussion visible online so think before you write, this is public.

Presentation Comments
We got some good feedback. I really think that we should focus on the positives which included our very interdisciplinary group, the true costs of this project, and making a statement that could shame people. I think we need to move in the direction of really designing the site conditions and BWWS; we also really need to start getting the word out to "stakeholders." -Cerisa

Great job everyone! It was all around a good presentation. We pushed the time more than anticipated but I think we pulled it off o.k. and recovered well. Thank you for everyone's hard work. I will post more later. - kt

I know it was a week ago now, but the feedback we got was very encouraging. I also got the feeling that our Living Laboratory idea was the one that they felt handled the multi-disciplinary and "change" aspects that are so important in the class. Let's keep on moving towards the "big shame" (actually getting our ideas implemented) over the rest of the quarter. I have done a little more research on foundations for the BWW/LM and would love to work with that group tonight to get some details figured out. Also, if we could develop the site layout and some renderings I think that would help sell our ideas to the "stakeholders". See y'all later. -Robbie
