Another suggestion I will make, is the creation of a "roadmap" consisting of what you plan to complete by when. It would only be very tentative, and have to be changed frequently as new decisions are made, ... but it is something that would be very useful. Consider,

Jul 23: Objectives defined
Jul 29: Very rough outline of game structure
Jul 30 - Aug 10: Debate
Aug 11: New outline

(Random dates used, just to drive the point home. Include more things you need to do, etc.) Also note that documentation like this, the eventual outline, etc., make the whole project look more official, which is good from the standpoint of getting FIRST to give permission to use their logo, or other outside contact (like Sourceforge).
