With all seriousness, part of being a part of a team is being in the loop. If your members aren't checking their mail, they'll need to learn this habit eventually. Help them with it.

I am tempted to implement your "jest" method of conducting the team. I think part of the problem this year was the team emails, personal probably would have been better but even then I find that high school students seem to check their emails very sparsely. Keehun and I have been trying to find a solution because we are anomalies as my email app is running as long as my computer is so I get all emails within 5 minutes of them being sent if I am on (send receive time)
I am thinking maybe next year if the majority of people have texting we send them a personal email, then possibly send them all a text saying please check your email.
The forum this year pretty much was only alive pre build season and then died, we are trying to find a good means of communicating next year, which I think maybe we should stick with a forum just not have it tied into email accounts like we did this year.
We have also been looking at 37signals "Basecamp" has anyone used this product before?
