Now that the Project DB is LIVE!, it's time to hook it up to a couple of
different places in the Delivery Web pages (//web/is/delivery/), and of
course to get project leaders and process owners updating the database.

There are two different lists in the Delivery Web pages that we would like
to replace with simple clicks-o-mouse:

        1. Show me all of the Delivery projects in the database.
           While this is a relatively short list, alpha by project name
                should suffice.  As the list gets longer, we may have to
                re-think how we sort the list for best viewing.

        2. Show me ALL projects in the database.
           Alpha by project name within Process is the best way to view these.

I would like to get some idea of when this work might be scheduled before
the Delivery Leaders meeting next Friday, if that's at all possible.

I understand from Miki that there are problems providing access to the
database without certificates.   I'd like us to recognize that the PRIMARY
audience for this data is within MIT, and further agree that getting a
certificate if you are an MIT person is a reasonable thing to expect.  For
folks without certificates, I'd be willing to modify the Delivery Web pages
to let them know that they won't get any LIVE! information right now, but
that we're working on it, and when the ultimate solution arrives, we'll
provide equal access to all.

We thank you for your support,
Tim
