Screencast Team Reporting Page

Welcome to the ScreencastTeam reporting page. Every month this page should be filled with bullet points indicating the summary of some of the work we have been working on. As we work on something, try to summarise it here. A few guidelines for how to write good points here:

• Keep it simple and short - single sentences are best.

• Try to summarise your work and not be over-detailed - we don't need to know specifics, just a summary of the kind
• Where possible, include relevant links.

You should get all your reporting included here by the 22nd of every month. We then add them to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TeamReports
