Introduction:
     This week we have had one major change. I've changes my HS processing policy. From now on I process them on daily basis to speed up entire process. :)

Tactical Office Objectives:
Task: How to do it?: % done:
More missions and faster turnaround in relation to testing We have new TCC:XvT. Because TIE and XWA queues a empty, we will have to wait and see if Frodo is doing his job N/A
Better attitude/interaction with members regarding EHBL and in general I think this task is done. I do not react with emotions, only cold facts. I try to be as helpful as I can. But I leave the judgement to the XO. N/A
Revise/update/fix the Tactical Manual No progres this week. I have fully concentrate on Tactical Webpage, because I want this thing released as soon as possible. 10%
Consolidate Tactical Office resources under a single working website Pretty good progres. I created news webpage and prepared it for future conversion to automated .asp scripts. I've also started working on history page, and finished 1994/1995. Working on 1996 right now and I'm halfway through it. Also, there were some minor layout and code changes. ETA to early alpha 1 week. 50%
Add EHBL content to the Tactical Manual and other relevant areas No progres this week. N/A
More support work relating to new platforms (Jedi Outcast/Academy, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds) I have talked to TO. SWGB mission creation course should be added soon. Someone is working on JA course already. 10% done
Coordinate with Training Office in setting up training resources for new platforms No progres this week except chat with T0. 0%
Restart Project Phoenix and clear out any bug reports currently existing Actualy we are trying to fix bugs all the time. Many of them are invalid. I do not think another special project is needed because XWA/TIE queue is empty so tactical staff is already working of those bugs. XWA is almost clear and they will fix bugs on daily basis. ~33%
Reform the Tactical staff from mission testers into a corps of mission designers I don't think we have to change current system completly, but add new position, Tactical Office Mission Designer. With Core squadron being reintroduced, it's members will be able to serve full time TMDs, and make missions when asked. N/A

Mission Creation Wars - 2004 Edition:
     I still need more applications to start this competition. It's sad but it seems people does not want high award. Where is the spirit of competition?

Final word:
     I have more time now, but still use mail. I am on IRC from time to time and I try to join EH/TC meetings, but sometimes I am unable to do this. Mail me, or my Command Attaché with any questions or simply join #tac and ask your question there. I am sure someone will be able to answer it.
