'''Projects Reviewed'''

* Sugar - liked the structured approach and appears to be a good example of a properly structured HFOSS project.  Surprised the blog, had spam posts on it. Seems to detract from quality of project
* Sahana Eden - Feel that this project could be a good one for introducing software that could apply directly to "real world" programming challenges.

'''General Observations'''
* Surprised at how IRC is a common tool for these projects
* Surprised at the low level of communication on IRC for projects, expected more conversations
* Helpful to have specific needs highlighted for different roles.
* Think the documentation aspect of projects could be a good way to reinforce good software engineering practices with students.
