5.2 Organization

A coordinator should be organized, perhaps with the help of software and/or a PDA and/or a notebook computer.

Keep all the plans (deadlines, deliverables and etc.) documented electronically. Keep a calendar for the project. Keep a mailing list of the team. Set up automatic reminders to remind members about meetings. Keep track of the minutes of meetings.

Keep a ``book'' (spreadsheet) of expenses and who paid for what. This way, you can balance the book and calculate how much teach member should pay for expenses of the project.
