APOLLO To Do List
This list is in no particular order, and I will be adding links as time permits to describe the nature and requirements of each of the tasks. The goal is to have APOLLO-ites scan the list and pick out things they're interested in working on, so that they can be self-paced and productive. D&B means "design and build".
