Hey group 5,
I really like how you organized your wiki page. It's very easy to follow, so that any outsiders (or even people within our block) can find what you guys have been working on without having to scroll for decades! Nicely done! :)

Hey again group 5, I also just wanted to comment on your brochures. I really liked how you made them separate webpages. That was really creative and unique! Especially the chatroom and the sidebar. Very professional!
