Theresa,
I'm amenable to an extension for the reasons you outlined. However, I don't
want to lose sight of getting the pages up fairly soon. Once they are up,
CWIS and IS-Home can began overhauling the Computing Services at MIT page
(http://web.mit.edu/afs/athena.mit.edu/org/c/cwis/computing.html).
The IS-Home team will discuss your points at our meeting tomorrow morning.
If anyone from your team would like to attend, they are welcome to join us.
We will get started at 9:30am in N42-286.
We very much appreciate the updates that you and Mohammad have sent, and
encourage the Software Release team to continue verifying the data.
Thanks for your feedback,
Robyn
