Hey guys,

So some good news. Brett has agreed to teach me how to do the weekly charts. From now on I'll be uploading the charts with the help of Will and with Brett walking me through the first set and then acting in an advisory/support roll.

My first chart went live yesterday (not without issues; the totals were borked, but it's now been fixed), and the French one should be along shortly.

Here are my plans:

- Get us caught up as quickly as possible. We're some 8 weeks behind, and there are 8 charts to do each week. ~64 is a lot of charts to do and as I'm still learning on the job and everything is very time consuming it's going to take a while to get caught up. Please be patient!

- The good news is this means I can promise frequent chart updates and that we will get caught up again. Once we're caught up it should be smooth riding from there on; we won't fall behind again unless we have a problem receiving raw data or a technical issue with the website.

- Regarding more accurate tracking what I'd love to be able to do is create a thread where you guys can link to official announcements and such so that we can take that data, compare it with our own, and make adjustments accordingly so that we can increase the accuracy of VGC's figures. That's not something I think we've made enough use of before; figures based on retail data that is then extrapolated can never be 100% accurate but using official announcements to improve them can only be a good thing. I've not been taught how to deal with adjustments yet so I can't make any promises, but for now what I will do is gather that data and ask Brett about the adjustments process.
