Technical Notes: Detailed design notes consisting of design decisions, copies of or pointers to code that you wrote, records of important websites, etc.

To-Do List Maintenance: Maintain check-boxes for items to be done that are then checked-off and dated when done.

Meeting Notes: Detailed meeting notes that include check-boxes for items for which you are responsible and deadlines for your subteam and the overall team.

Usability: Will your design notebook be of use to people who join the team later and need to refer to it? This includes legibility, intelligible technical and meeting notes, and overall organization.

Overall: An overall rating of your notebook.

Wiki content refers to documentation produced online, either through the VIP wiki site, Tsquared, or other team-approved site.
