+
+A few weeks ago, we had a discussion about building a Twitter app. As a group with [history](http://www.theleagueofpaul.com/mahtweets-is-dead) in building apps, we didn't want to do something conventional - and with Windows 8 being focused on the tablet space we started down a different path.
+
+### Capturing the madness
+
+Rather than using JabbR to capture the discussion, we used **sync.in** to write down and edit our ideas. Aside from a minor hiccup with the cap on concurrent users, we had a productive hour or two discussing ideas in real-time and having a nicely formatted document at the end.
+
+The results of this can be found [here](http://sync.in/KlhETAjkLy) and those will be tranformed into the backlog for tasks to acheive this week.
+
+### Goals
+
+To identify some broad goals for the week:
+
+ - the project should ship a reusable Twitter library as well as a client
+ - the client will not follow the existing norms of displaying lists of tweets
+ - the client should demonstrate some wicked animations and transitions
+ - the client should implement some radical features for other Twitter clients to shamelessly steal
+
+### Get Involved
+
+We've started a skeleton of the app (it should allow you to authenticate and render some tweets) on [GitHub](https://github.com/Code52/dodo) and the [Trello board](https://trello.com/board/dodo/4f82e9dfc10221fb0db2cff2) has some initial tasks which are small enough to be started if people are curious. Got some ideas? There's people in the [JabbR](http://jabbr.net/#/rooms/code52) room to discuss ideas with.
