:)Bill & Miki,

:) As you know, the MR group wants to use the Project-DB to track the
:)"release 3" or calendar 1999 group of projects. This is a terrific
:)opportunity. I therefore request:
:)
:) 1) adding a practice called "Office - MR*1999"
Thank you for raising this opportunity with the project database group.
While we can proceed to add such a practice fairly easily, in the long run
we may want to consider appropriate naming standards and usage of the
database before continuing with the "ad hoc" addition of practices which
seems to be occuring at present. This will be the second new practice added
recently that has been publicly announced, making a total of three
"non-practice" practices (ad hoc, commons, Office - MR*1999).
I would suggest that instead of limiting the practice to 1999, we avoid that
problem by simply calling it "Office - MR".
:) 2) updating some of the supporting static text web pages per the red-line
:)in my office.
May I request that before we make major modifications to the web pages, the
modifications be made public? If necessary, we can set up a meeting of the
project database group to review the modifications.
:)It is important to this done by/on Friday in time for Tuesday kickoff.
I think this probably refers to the addition of the practice, not the
modifications to the web pages?
:) To discuss this, I would love to meet with you either 4:30 today or 2:30
:)Friday afternoon. After that we can discuss a process for adddressing some
:)of the other items involving the project-db.
I request that discussions of the process for addressing items involving the
project database include the project database project manager.
Thanks
Mike Barker
