After our first group meeting it became apparent that everyone in the group seems very willing to pull their weight to ensure the best possible outcome for this project. Everyone is very active in the Facebook group and is excited to share their work and ideas. When writing the contract we divided the points of the contract up so we could all bring our own ideas and also ensure that the contract was written as efficiently as possible.
