Currently Working On

 * Technical Project Advisors: Work Update
 * The Advisors and I met this week to discuss their test reviews of the following projects:
 * OWASP Java HTML Sanitizer Project (Complete)
 * OWASP Cornucopia Project (Complete)
 * OWASP Java Encoder Project (Complete)
 * We went into a good amount of detail describing our experiences with the test assessments during our meeting.
 * We primarily found major redundancies throughout the assessment questions on both types of assessment. (Health and deliverable review)
 * We concluded that we will need to remove the redundancies, and create another version of the criteria that we can then re-test using the same projects above.
 * We also discussed the inconsistency between all three project templates.
 * We all agreed that the Cornucopia Project template is very visually appealing and easy to read.
 * It is a great example of what we would like OWASP project wiki templates to look like.
 * We decided to use the Cornucopia Project template as a starting point for creating a new wiki template for OWASP Projects.
