[Fhsst-maths] FHSST Maths Progress

[Sam Halliday]

hi everyone,

just checking to see how everyone is doing on the FHSST front. we are getting 
quite a lot of content! which is incredible considering where we were this 
time last year. we now have 189 pages!!! (the latest PDF is on the new FHSST 
website)

as to the status of all the chapters, we have 6 chapters currently being 
worked on!

 - Richard is making excellent progress writing Numerics from scratch!
 - Katie has contributed some brilliant edits to the patterns chapter
 - Clare is rewriting her differentiation chapter to meet the syllabus
 - Bianca is writing Finance from scratch... i can't wait to see it :-)
 - Soshan is writing the basic algebra section from scratch... its an 
important one as
    we gotta get the fundamentals *just* right
 - lmatoti is editing data
 - lxaba is editing geometry

we have Nolene and Jothi waiting me me to give them something to do :-)

and on inactive status are:
 - Marc (Krawitz)
 - Brad Preston
 - Prashant Arora
who were quite busy the last time we spoke... please drop me a line if things 
clear up in your schedule and i can find you something to get busy again! ;-)

unfortunately we have to say goodbye (and thanks for all the fish!) to Sean 
Riddle and Luke Jordan, as they have other commitments at the moment. you guys 
have helped us out greatly and we all appreciate your contributions thus far! 
we hope you guys can find the time to rejoin our ranks at a later date, as you 
will be most welcome.
