Week 2 Update

[Sam Olmsted]

Hello Everyone,

We are in our second week of summer production. We have been doing
phenomenally well at working separately, something that you will see
below.

A note on production, Oran, Daniel, and Ying are working on projects
to creating a new problem type, one which requires compilation server
side. They are working on problems that will require the user to
submit a file and have it compiled and run on a server to check its
answer. For this reason, Daniel and Ying are producing python scripts
to handle networking, so the CTF website and Auto-grader are not the
same machine.

Once again, if you don't see your name and you are working on
something or would like to please let me know. Also, please feel free
to share this email.
