Hi Robyn,
Curiously, does the is-home e-mail list reflect the IS-home team? If the
e-mail list is reflective of the team, then, there is a Software Release
team member present.
Since you have raised concern about the web page, the Software Release team
has not met to discuss them.
We are trying to organize a meeting for next week; I will try to ensure a
meeting occurs prior to Friday, so, a more representative view can be
presented.
I do wish to highlight that this web page is not intended to be limited to
I/S Supported Products and is not necessarily an output of the Software
Release Team. It is intended to be a distribution mechanism similar to
net-dist, as well as, "early-testers".
I just glanced at the <http://training.mit.edu/products/test.html> and
wondered how long this has under development and its target date for
release? Who will be responsible for keeping this page accurate and
current? It appears that the data is stored in a FileMaker Pro database.
As soon as I know, if a SWR team meeting is possible, I will let you know
if meeting with is-home team is possible for Friday, December 3rd.
Thanks for understanding,
Theresa
