Task Log
This is a list of time indexed day to day item. There should
ideally be an entry here every time you work on this task. Ideally the
time taken relating to each entry should be listed as well, preferably
in man days, down to 1/4 day granuarity. (ie 2 hours). Sanity is
expected to prevail when noting this down. They should be annotated by
who made the entry, when, and any status changes.
When a task is running, then this is where most updates
will occur.
Please put Output in bold prior to any entries where an
output was produced
Please put Task status changed in bold when the entry
relates to a task status change.
Example entries:
29 August 2002 : Kamaelia project first conceived :-)

to running
Added developers : [all]
11 April 2007 : This PTP created

- Axon module level documentation strings
- Kamaleia module level documentation strings
- Website tutorials
