** What is free software 
   This section needs to be strong and to the point as it is the first thing you see
   it obviously needs to tell the reader what free software is
   it should reference licenses and GNU documents
   aim to complete by
   (30/10/24)
   started on (17/10/24)

   moving on to section 2 now, as i feel confident that this section is quite well rounded. (24/10/24)
** A brief history of free software
   This section should have alot of references, and shouldn't use to much technical language or if
   it does it should tell the reader what it means
   I could use a timeline perhaps here but that should be looked into
   aim to complete by
   (15/11/24)
   a very poorly writen first draft compleated on (24/10/24), it needs alittle more info in it. and
   alot of grammar checking
** Examples of free software
   This section shouldn't be too long, it just needs to tell the user that they have probably 
   already used free software in some sense. Include a lot of references to software

   after reading through everything ive already writen, i dont think this section is needed, so as
   of right now i will be skipping it. (5/11/24)
   as of this point on, this section is renamed to "how is freesoftware developed. it will talk alitte
   on why developers like this method
   Made a first draft on this section, quite happy with it, although id like to add more detail at some
   point soon. (5/11/24)
   Happy with it, marking as done (26/11/24)
** Comparing free software to its proprietary counterparts
   This should follow on from the previous section quite nicely, starting by showing of some 
   proprietary and then show some graphs comparing it to open alternatives
   aim to complete by
   (25/11/24)
   initial work started in early november
   about 2/3 done at (26/11/24) will aim to finish in this session

   (4/12/24) 
** What makes free software so appealing to developers
   this is going to be the bulk of my information, where I really try and show off, lots of 
   references to people who use free software and how it helps them, why its important to them
   etc.w etc.
   Aim to complete by
   (15/12/25)
   first full draft made on the (10/12/24)
   will continue with final edits on the 10'th however i would like to move
   on to the next section, as this will make the mid project review easier to
   write, however i should come back to this section in the next break period
   rewriten the entire section as i thought it was very weak, it is now far
   better and shows more information.
   (9/1/25)
   this section needs a counter point (30/1/25)
** What makes free software so appealing to privacy experts
   exactly the same as the previous section, they should role quite nicely from one to the other
   this section can focus more on indiviuals and i can use my reseach on them
   in this section
   Aim to complete by
   (2/1/25)
   started on the (10/12/24)
   and finished on the (12/12/24) 
   put this section out quickly however im very happy with how it 
   has turned out so far, gammar and spelling is still needed but the
   content is done
** take another break
   the previous 2 sections are going to be the most important in the entire paper, so take this 
   time to improve upon them and make them the best they can be
   use this section to complete the mid project review
   aim to complete by
   (10/1/25)
