I've only in the last 24 hours managed to get Netscape 3 running on my
machine, and so I have only a few minutes of exposure to the prototype.  I
think there's a long way to go with the UI...  I was unable to get any
response at all on a few things, I didn't know if I'd encountered a known
bug, or there's still something screwy in my setup...

>Bob, Tim, Greg:  What is your sense of the way we should determine this?

Since this project is an IS priority, I think we should locate someone who
knows how to design UIs, and have them finish the UI work.  In principle, I
believe the approach you've suggested, Bill, is similar to the one I'd
follow as well.  Once that's done, Miki should be free to do the backend
work.
