Hi Everyone,

It's vital for every participant to the project to make detailed daily report and send to all participants. This situation, the separation, being a communication problem and the only solution is the detailed daily report from everyone.

The leader must put together the incoming reports and send to all participants the results of the progress or final outcoming.

It appears complicated but there is a simple solution: detailed daily reports, Gil.
