Work Log
Each team member will maintain a markdown file that logs the time they spend on the project. The first line of the file should contain # [Firstname Lastname] Time Log. Each additional line should describe one work session for the student. Create a new section for each week (most recent first). The most recent records should appear at the top. The lines should follow this format:
- [Time spent]\t[YYYYMMDD]\t[Issue#]\t[1-2 sentence description of work done]
where
[Time spent]- number of minutes spent on the task[YYYYMMDD]- date the work was done[Issue#]- number of the issue associated with the effort.
