Hi Jody,<br>
I've just had a read through the project status template, (sorry for
the delay), and question the need for it at all.<br>
<br>
Reason:<br>
* There is significant overlap between the status template and the
Graduation Checklist.<br>
* Ideally, we should simplify our docs, such that they reference
each other and hence we don't maintain the same thing in two places,
resulting in docs getting out of sync, and people getting confused
about where to look for things. (KISS principle)<br>
<br>
I'd suggest that for project status we should just ask people to
compare against the Graduation Checklist.<br>
