Scheduling forms sent

Scheduling forms were sent to the 29 people that have volunteered [to-date] to count. 25 of these will use "Google Docs & Spreadsheets" to communicate their availability, the remaining 4 will do so via regular mail. The instructions that they are using can be found here.

When this first step has been completed, a Master Schedule will be produced and then each counter's spreadsheet will be updated with the dates/times they are scheduled to count. Then, when they take their count, they will post that count back into their spreadsheet.

These counts will then be aggregated into a composite spreadsheet. We'll tell you how to see both the Master Schedule and the counts in a later post.
