 We have a mailing list - if you're interested in helping design the app, or if you just want to hear more about what we're up to,  just blanche yourself onto **clockworks**.
 
+## Development info
+
+Our Git repository is located in AFS in the clockworks locker: /mit/clockworks/clockworks.git

 ## Phase 1
 
 Doodle clone. 100% duplication of Doodle functionality. Modifications to improve usability as necessary.

 * Too much clicking
 * No obvious "I can, but would rather not"
 
+### What to do?
+
+* Configure the default TurboGears scaffolding
+* Work through the [TurboGears tutorial](http://docs.turbogears.org/1.0/Wiki20/Page1) (the tutorial seems to focus on SQLObject, which is not necessarily the best thing. Maybe someone can find some better docs?)
+* Setup database configuration and installer (an auxiliary issue is the presence of an installer for people). Also, make sure SQLAlchemy is being used
+* Learn SQLAlchemy
+* Make sure the default scaffolding works on Scripts
+* Write a .gitignore file for generated/not versionable items
+* Get friendly URLs working
+* Learn TurboGear's templating interface (ezyang would like XSLT, but I don't think anyone else will let him use that)

 ### Architecture
 
 * Python and Turbogears
