Kris,
Would you please put the old product pages back up for the time being until
we have a chance two work out the changes that need to be made. The
Software Release Team is just getting going and needs time to review the
information. I just spoke to Bill Hogue and he agrees that the new pages
should come down for the time being until the pages can be made accurate.
My request is to allow the SWRT three weeks to gather together the data,
ask the yet to be appointed Product Release Coordinators for each product
to review their respective pages for accuracy and completeness. Then when
the information is accurate, make the pages live again. If we can get this
done sooner, then we can put the pages up sooner.
Thanks,
Jonathan
