Hello to the Shark Fin Exhibition group,

I finally had a chance to take a look at your wiki and see that you have put considerable effort into organizing it in a way that is easy to follow by your visitors. I've noticed that both Oskar and Jed have been very active in editing the website. I know that Alvin has also been contributing by communicating with your mentor and arranging your initial meeting. Be sure to stay on top of the site requirements by delegating an equal share of responsibilities to each member and by working together. Below are some comments that you should use to guide your next steps.


 * Home Page:** I particularly like the Home page and the fact that it includes your Mission Statement and Essential Agreements. You should add a bit more information telling your readers about the exhibition and why you chose this subject matter. Look at the 'Why this problem?' section of your handbook for guidance.


 * Concepts:** While you did a good job in the page layout, it is now time to start writing the key questions that you generated in your handbook. Delegate this job so that it can be finished in a timely manner.


 * Facts:** I particularly like this section of your site. It is very informative and you did a good job in your citation of Greenpeace. I look forward to seeing more of your research, on this page, as it comes up.


 * Mentor Letter:** I noticed that your mentor has set up an appointment with you via email. Please include all of the email correspondences on this letter page. Simply copy and paste the emails as they go out and come in. Make sure that the date is at the top of each posting. This will be a good way to keep track, by all of you, of your mentoring progress.


 * Pictures of Shark Finning:** While this page is a good idea it doesn't make much sense to me. The page not only doesn't include any pictures of shark finning, it has links to sites that might be better suited to the Facts page. Also the lay out is confusing. Everything is underlined and there are no descriptions of what the links are about. Please take the time to clean this section up.

You are all on the right track but be careful not to fall behind. Now that you have had your mentor meeting you will need to add a mentoring section to your Wiki that details what the meeting was about and the direction you will be going in. Be sure to work together to make all of your tasks doable. I look forward to following your wonderful project. -Peter
