The lack of movement of the project sends me the message that we are on the wrong track. Rather than waiting to have the grand scheme in place and working, I'd like to see us initiate a small, local roll-out. We can learn as we go along. I think the minimal database I proposed earlier is enough to get us working. We can then sit back and decide how we want version 2.0 of this project to work.
I think having the CDs "verifiable" and us "fully operational before setting out" is a good goal. However, if we wait until everything is perfect, well, you know the saying. Let's just take some baby steps first. ;) Regards, Dustin At 10:45 AM 8/25/2002 -0700, you wrote: >I think John's idea was to be verifiable, and fully operational >before setting out.
